Words cannot adequately describe how loved and encouraged I felt after my last post. So many reached out to me sharing their own struggles and giving words of encouragement. So many calls, texts, and messages crying with us and lifting us up during these difficult days. Many have asked how Chloe is doing. She is doing okay. She has made a few friends at her new school, but she has also run into a few difficulties. It is a daily struggle to make sure she is making good choices. It takes a complete change of mindset that there will probably always be struggles. Many have asked how she is doing, but it is a hard question to answer. Her struggles did not magically disappear because one situation has been resolved. We are waiting for insurance to be sorted before we take the next step, so I would ask that you continue to pray for us.
We had a pretty busy week. I am trying to get the last minute lessons in for my class, making sure we have covered all they need for Kindergarten. I am getting pretty emotional about leaving some of my kids. We had our Spring concert on Thursday and I just sat and cried as I watched my sweet babies! I am so proud of them. They have all come so far this school year and they will always be a treasure to me. Samuel was on his class trip this past week and it was a little hard on this momma's heart. Jeremy was originally going to be on the trip, so him going without either one of us was not cool. It made it a little easier that we gave him his graduation present early, a phone. Of course the other worry of how he uses the phone is now a new issue. He had a good time and I laughed because I think he communicated with me more through text messages than he has in person in weeks! This weekend included a birthday party for a 1st grader at school. His parents invited our family a few weeks ago and it was nice to visit with several families from school. Saturday I had brunch with some ladies from school. All ladies who have been through some heartache from the things going on as well. All ladies that have been my encouragement and support this school year and I am forever grateful for them! Saturday night we took Samuel to a graduation party and Emma went to be with the sister. Jeremy and I took Chloe on a date while the other two were at the party.
This week is not going to be the easiest. I am emotional wreck as I think about my baby boy graduating 8th grade and completing his elementary school years. His Kindergarten graduation picture popped up on my timeline the other day and it seemed like yesterday. We are so proud of him and we will do our best to enjoy this week. But the truth is that anxiety is setting heavy on us as we face this week. We will be face to face with many people who have hurt us, deceived us, and caused so much heartbreak. We must put our feelings about them aside and focus on the blessing of our son and all that God has done for him. I would ask that you pray for us. Pray that we will continue to walk in integrity knowing that all this pain and heartache has only set us up in a position to do so much more for the Kingdom. I wish I could say that every day wasn't a struggle to keep my heart in check. My husband is posting all these nice things about me on social media and I feel like my attitude these days towards some people is anything but nice, but sweet freedom is coming. I just need to be brave a few more days. A few more days of fighting through the bitterness that comes in waves over my heart.

So these pictures kind of describe my terrible attitude these days. 😅
