sometimes it's muddy, but there is always a plan

Life can get muddy sometimes. I wear my heart on my sleeve. My husband, more reserved, does too. Especially when it comes to our child, we listen and try to do what's right.

We knew a transition was coming. I, in fact knew because I am very sensitive to this. God was speaking over my shoulder months before. He had his hand there and every time I drove by this school I felt it. I wasn't ready to listen. The time was not right.  

Then, everything in his current school began to crumble around him. I could see it. He was trying to remain happy, learn, and not follow others. But, it's pretty hard not to follow into an environment of negativity when you're surrounded by a system of chaos. Stress and Tears. 

At a local school committee meeting, I felt like I had been pulled into a place that was just not right. It was uncomfortable. Parents were crying because nothing was being done. The system was breaking down. My child was suffering. Bullies were taking over. God spoke to me that night, the next day, and several days after. 

I listened. It was time. 

My husband and I talked. We prayed. We supported. We had to do what we felt was best. This was soulful*living in action. 

My son will be starting at a new school guided by an enriching education and God's love. 

Transition is hard. Nothing in life is perfect. But, when you trust and listen throughout your day, you can gain the answers needed and a great perspective. 

The mud is feeling less squishy. As my husband and I pour out as much love and support to my son as he makes his way through. We pray hard. We take in the grace. So much grace. Kids deserve to feel safe.
