School Begins...

 And so another school year begins...  We are already on Week #5, hard to believe!  Lydia is in Kindergarden this year, Josiah preschool and Jeremiah is in 2nd grade!  The first week of school was hard for me as the mom.  I am finding that change is hard for me, even little changes of routine.  It is hard to leave the outings and pool time and friend visits of summer and hit school routine.  I worry about the isolation for me and the discipline issues and intensity of school and keeping up house, cleaning, laundry, cooking.  I struggle worrying about the year, am I doing enough for my kids- do I have the right curriculum?  Thankfully God reminded me of Psalm 3-  You, O Lord, are a shield about me, you are my glory and the lifter of my head.  The Lord has faithfully lifted my head in thinking about a new school year!
