This is it.....

Oooooh-waaah.. please let me know.
If this isn't love baby then...let me go!

Sorry. Once I chose that title I just had to finish the song lyric! (Still a music teacher at heart!) :)

This is it....Will starts back to Midway, Woodway Elementary, this Thursday.

Wow.

We have the ARD at 11:00 on Wed and then we are giving Will a tour of the school at 3:30 that afternoon.

Double wow.

I do have to say that God was/is/and will always be so amazing. I went into Woodway to register Will. And, well....his teacher just "happened" to be standing there. She asked me if we could talk for a little bit. (YES!)

We went back into an ARD room and talked for over an hour. I got to tell her about Will...his sweet spirit, his caring hugs, his violent temper, his misunderstandings about life. It was wonderful. The precious Vice Principal stopped in to say hi...he remembered me from mom teaching there and Tay being at that school. Then later the reading specialist and counselor stopped by. Before Will's teacher got to even say their names....they were both squealing with delight to see me. I've known them for 15 some odd years....

I left feeling VERY loved and VERY wanted at this campus. Not JUST me....But Will. My sweet Will is very much wanted at Woodway. And that made my mama's heart soar. (NOT that he wasn't at CC....just too many kiddos there)

I am excited about this week. We keep talking about how wonderful this school is. He tells me he's going to kick them. (Probably will...) But, I know in my heart of heart although this will be DIFFICULT...this is where he needs to be. I cannot teach him. He is not learning with me. I love him so much....and this is where he needs to go.

So...prayer requests....please pray we can articulate all of Will's (present) needs well on Wednesday. Sometimes I get so excited I forget things. And, yes...I will bring a cheat sheet of what we need to say. :) Two - That Will's anxiety level will be low on Thursday. He is truly terrified. Three - That Will can keep his anger down. I would like him NOT to hurt any of his teachers. Four - That he begins to LEARN this year. Really learn..... And five - That God will be glorified through this all. No matter what.....

It was a while back that I realized all stories don't have happy endings. See...I thought they did. I thought that God's Glory would be shown when He...as Casting Crowns says so well..Steps in to saves the day. But, I SOOO want to be able to HONESTLY say...But, once again. I say amen. And, it's still raining.

So, I leave you with Pastor Barry's Verse for our sermon at HBC -James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

God is good....Period.
