We are ending week two of summer school today. This session is amazing! 6 weeks goes by so very quickly, and we have so much to cover. Every day almost seems desperate to me, in trying to work with the students so they will understand the material. There is so much to do!
We have had an odd June for Iowa. It has been raining a lot - though not like last year with the floods, but the temps are staying rather cool. We only turned on our air this past week, and I cannot remember a June that cool since I have moved here.
The girls made it home from Mexico this week, and it was so good to see them, and have them get home safely. There was a "skirmish" in a gas station parking lot, and a lady accidentally turned into our car, taking out the front headlight and blinker. We can't seem to keep our cars out of the shop! Everyone was fine, but this lady, who was more apologetic at the time, decided to rescind the truth to her insurance, and the damage will be ours to cover. Bummer. It is good that the Lord knows these things because He works out the details of all of that. Perhaps she saved a couple of dollars because she lied, but, in the face of the bigger picture - before God, what has she gained? I am trying to place this all in the context of living for Christ with the girls, because there are times on earth when it seems that the unrighteous get away with their theft and lies, but the Lord is faithful, and He is gracious, and He is in charge. He will work out our situation, for His glory, and for our good. Maybe our attitude could be a witness to her someday. After all, she doesn't know that one day, she might see us again knowing what she has done.
All to say, the Hyundai will need to go into the shop this coming week. Sigh. At one point Lorien said, "It's illegal to drive without working headlights?" Great -
Life is moving faster than I am these days. There are so many things happening. Our church is starting our first ever, VBS in July, and I am working on the music for that. Whew. It is a lot of work, but I am experimenting with several ideas and excited about the possibilities! Also, Susan's son Will is getting married on August 1, and we are helping with the rehearsal dinner for that, as well as some music there too. We are trying to fit in a trip to NC to see Robinsons before the fall semester too.
Please continue to pray for the girls for school this fall. They are working very hard to try and earn the money to go, but both Kyrie and Kesse understand that it might not work out. We are just going to take it semester by semester, and trust that the Lord is working out the details for all of their schooling. Lorien also may not make Grandview this fall. Each semester, we re-evaluate, but we must be faithful with what we have, and what we don't have. I am thankful that the girls have good attitudes about their situations. It would be very sad for them to have to postpone their college and high school, but, we don't know all the possibilities that the Lord might have for them. I was telling Kyrie yesterday that the Lord might just have her take a little bit longer so that she can meet a future husband:)!! Who knows? He has a perfect plan.
Well, I need to get going for school.
