New outlook
During the last months, many things in the life of my family have changed, most for the better. I have become closer friends with a group of women who are mostly Titus 2 focused. We are doing an Introduction to the Bible course together and are able to pray for each others lives, with both joys and sorrows being shared. I believe that this has helped me in focusing on my son at the same time. We have had a terrible half year at the local public school, and have been looking for another option. Had I not been Bible focused I would have gone against the authority of my father (which I now follow) and made all the decisions on my own, possibly only half listening to God as well. BUT I have enjoyed the experience of being under my father's authority, mostly, and my son will be shifting to a Christian School nearby next year. We are looking forward to having him surrounded by peers who are happy to discuss their faith, as well as discovering more about God in our lives. Can you please pray for us in this new adventure. Hope to write more regularly than every couple of months.

Starting the journey
This journey has been going for the past 11 years, but not at God's pace. I have not been the influence that I should, and have not surrounded us with the positive influences that I should have. Don't get me wrong, God is and has been a large part in our lives, but as life got busier, God was easily pushed to the weekends instead of daily. My daily journey was happening, but not my son's. Fortunately God has put a few friends in my life who keep pointing me in the right direction, and that direction is to protect the gift that God has given me better. As he nears going to high school, my need to make sure that he has a strong and firm belief that God is with him - daily - and that we are a team (with God) to get past all the difficulties which lie out there in society. I am currently reading Teaching true love to a sex at 13 generation by Eric & Leslie Ludy. It has scared me, thinking about the lions I was about to throw my precious gift to. God is with us on this journey that we are undertaking, and i feel strengthened to know that others care for their gifts from God aswell.
