The Compulsory Back to School Post

com·pul·so·ry/kəmˈpəlsərē/Adjective
1. Required by law or a rule; obligatory.

2. Involving or exercising compulsion; coercive.

Once can't have a blog, without having the compulsory "back to school" post, right?!

This is a big big year for us. Not only did we start school in a brand new school, but we also started in a non-private school. This made for one worried mama.

Allen began middle school at Rossview Middle School and Isabell began the third grade at Rossview Elementary School. We are excited about this new opportunity and pray that the Lord will protect our children and allow them to be used for Him.

Several things happened before the first day the encourage me specifically. First, the principal at Isabell's school is a member of the Baptist church we visited today. This church reminds me ALOT of a big(ger) Calvary. The Sunday school teacher's in the church we visited last week both work for Rossview. She is the vice principal at Rossview High School and He is a math teacher at Rossview Middle School. They both spoke highly of the staff and the number of Christians on staff and actively involved with the students. Once we actually started, Allen found out that his science teacher attends the same church as Izzy's principal. What a huge answer to prayer for this worried mama. Allen talked to him after class and I'm so happy that at least for now, science will be taught be a Christian!

There are more little ways that God has proven faithful to us in this process that I'll share...but now...the compulsory pictures...
