God lead me here. My daughter has been going to a private christian school since she was 3, she will be 6 in august. We have made the decision to put her into a public school near my work, I drive 25 miles one way since my office moved. This is an effort to help us financially and the after school care at the Y is going to run me 200 less a month than school. I have been going back and forth with the decision, judged and commented on from my christian sisters mostly that This is not Gods will for my life. It is a heart wrencher. Do I spend a little less for after school care, have my daughter in public school where she is just might be able to be a Light for Christ while still attending the same church and possibly be able to be even more involved in the church since I wont have to be working so many hours away to afford the school. Do I continue the path we have been on to protect her as others call it, the education standards at the school are high, the square spot they are trying to form my round child into bothers me. She isn't a sit down and be meek child in any sense of the word, if she isn't being the sunshine in the room and energetic something is not right with her. I am exhausted by the tally's for wiggling in her seat. Loads of frustration. I am committed that even while in the public school I will be doing bible teaching and extra work for her to keep her brain active - even through the summer. Anyways - thanks for the post, I agree that there is always a way the devil tries to divide, and I believe this is most certainly one. bardellisgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230670123976772521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144235032583435175.post-58315736703645876002013-04-23T20:45:52.670-07:002013-04-23T20:45:52.670-07:00Thank you for this.

My son is 13 and has always been (and thrived) in the public school system. But I am currently praying about whether or not to home educate my three little ones. I try to ignore what others say and listen to what God speaks into my heart. Brandee Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960175760263515363noreply@blogger.com
