Horrified

The longer T and I are in the world of public education, sometimes the more depressed we become. It's even more difficult for T.........there are very few 'good' moments to see. Don't get me wrong, there are good moments, they are just far and few between. You can have the greatest plan for a student, but if that's not what he wants, then it's just not going to happen.

I am amazed sometimes at the things students will tell me. Drugs, sex, under-age drinking. You name it and they are doing it. And usually these are not just kids from a bad background. This is kids with good grades, job, etc...... What is wrong with the parents today??? Are they blind? Naive? I AM SCARED. I am scared for us to put our children in public school. I am scared to put our children in private school. I am scared to home school my children. I know we take parenting one day at a time. But we want to be doing the right things. Oh how I hope we are......

Dear God........please give us the strength and wisdom to raise our children in this time. It gets more and more difficult everyday. I pray a hedge of protection around them. God I pray for a bright future for both of them.......surrounded by a loving family and Godly friends. I know You know every fiber of their being. I know You know the beginning and the end. I pray these two children will come to know You and proclaim Your word. I pray when the time comes they make the right decisions each and every time they are faced with anything including peer pressure. God I pray that T and I can make a difference in our small little world. Amen
