Lean Hard!

I'm sorry that I've been a bit quiet over the past few weeks.  My inlaws just left today to return back to their home in Maine.  While they were here they shared with me a website that sends out daily devotionals.  I'm so glad that they did because our summer has been FILLED with unexpected "crisis" of varying sizes and shapes.

Now that you have finished "planning" for the fall and your school year with your high schooler, let me remind you (and me) that unexpected things WILL happen during our school year.  When they do, we have choices to make.  We can fuss and fume about our lives being disrupted!  We can panic and talk to whomever will listen to our chatter. We can worry about what might happen next!

OR

We can LEAN HARD on the strength that comes from HIM.  Here is a devotional from the website my favorite inlaws shared with me.  I am planning on keeping this devotional accessible throughout this school year so that when the inenvitable UNEXPECTED situations occur, I will be reminded on whom to lean.

Faith and Courage,

Lori
