Excuse the tears and nostalgia over the next couple weeks.
My oldest is preparing to leave the nest and that is just plain surreal.
Three years ago we visited Berean Christian High School to see if it would be a better fit for Hailey. The public school was just not the right fit for her. However, private high school was not in the cards. We had not planned for that financially, whatsoever.
However, we moved forward in prayer and faith that God would reveal His best for Hailey.
In the spring of her freshman year, we visited Berean’s all-school chapel and I remember being so overwhelmed that I began to sob. I witnessed a gym full of teenagers singing and worshiping God. It was an amazing sight to see. God was whispering to me, “There is a place for Hailey here.”
God showed up in a miraculous way so that Hailey could attend Berean as a sophomore. Then again as a junior. And again as a senior.
So, today when I attended Hailey’s last chapel at Berean, I was so moved by God’s faithfulness in her life. He alone prepared the way and allowed her to make the change that was best for her.
As I watched the slideshow of the Class of 2017, I was overcome with joy and gratitude.
The Lord has shown me that each child has different educational needs. I have three children in three different schools right now. And that is perfectly okay and right for our family.
So, the last day of school has come and gone for my girl, she is currently headed to the Senior Retreat in Santa Cruz with friends that the Lord had given to her for this chapter in life.
Thank you God for your amazing faithfulness and provision for my girl and our family.
