My boys are gearing up for another school year. Nathan gets his course schedule and meets his teachers today. I am so proud of him for wanting to live boldly for Jesus in the public high school. My prayer is that he will have great teachers and continue to make wise decisions... Selfishly, I'd love him to dive into homework more willingly :)
Ben starts back tomorrow, with a day of homeschool co-op classes. He has worked so hard to overcome a reading "difference" (orthographic processing disorder) and is starting to read fluently. He works ten times harder to get the work done than a typical student, but he never quits. He's even starting to believe that he IS smart! I pray that the transition to middle school work will go well for him, and that he'll be a good example to his peers.
Mostly, I pray that my sons will become like mighty oaks - living to show God's splendor to the people in their lives. After all, we live not for ourselves, but so others can discover love and hope in their own relationship with Jesus. Nathan, shine that light! Ben, show the world that there is nothing in this world that God can't conquer. Dear God, please cover them in your grace, love and strength in all that they face this year.
