I pray daily for that decision I have to make about Rachel and HSing.  I appreciate so much all your testimonies.  It means a lot.  I think I doubt myself more than anything.  Rachel really gets under my skin sometimes with her apathy and disinterest in everything.  I feel like I'm "beating a dead horse" many times.  I wonder if this is really what's best for her and for me. In so many ways, HSing seems like the only hope and obviously the best choice.  Yet, I wonder if I could do it effectively.  Thanks for your thoughts and especially for your prayers.  I'm just wondering how I'll know the Lord's answer in this.  The days are quickly passing and the school year is so close at hand. 

How will I know what He's saying? 

Maybe he's already given me the answer... and I just need to obey.

in yourself and in G-d. He's in control and if you're quiet you will hear him. You're heart already knows that HSing is the best. I'd go to TN alone with DH, enjoy that time with him, relax, and pray. The decision doesn't have to be made overnight, so finish with the move; there will be plenty of time to worry about school.

As for beating that dead horse, maybe you should leave the dead one alone and find a new live one to ride. If the WAY you HS isn't working for Rachel, then instead of stopping HSing, maybe you just need to change up the methods. Afterall, if the method you use to discipline the kids isn't working, you change what you're doing, not give them to someone else. Some thing here. It's just a form of disciple-ing.

Enjoy TN.
