It Costs HOW MUCH????

So I need one of these tree's in my backyard, LIKE NOW!

Doesn't everyone????

Last week, I received a price list for tuition cost at my kids school for next school year. Registration is tomorrow. Megan will be in 1st grade, Ryan will be in K3. The grand total for next years education will be ..........

(DRUM ROLL PLEASE.......................)

$350 PER MONTH!

I am in shock still. I don't know why I am in shock, because I knew it would be more money than this year. Breakdown: Ryan's tuition stays the same, $100 for 3 days a week until 12pm. Not bad if you ask me, plus, he gets the wonderful teacher that my daughter had in her K3 year there....we LOVE her! Megan's tuition goes UP a $100 for First Grade! I love the school. I totally love that my children are being very loved and taken care of, and taught the academics by way of God's love, and they are learning Bible verses, and stories. The teachers in the past give them Bible Verses for challenges in the classroom! I'll never forget my 3 year old little girl reciting Philippians 4:13 "I can do ALL things through Christ, who gives me strength" whenever she had a hard time accomplishing a task. Then one day in the classroom, I heard the K3 teacher talking with one of her students who was complaining that they couldn't "color inside the lines". She recited that verse to them, and it clicked! THAT IS WHERE MEGAN LEARNED IT! Yes, we go to church, a GREAT church! Yes we reinforce the Word Of God at home, and talk about the Bible Stories. But for some reason, SCHOOL is where it started clicking for her.

I truly believe that God had planned all along for us to send our children to that school. Perhaps the school is also the reason that we are still living in the same house. We've wanted and needed to move for sooooooo long. Our community is fading. We're not happy. It's going downhill and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The inner city is creeping in closer and closer thus bringing up the crime rate, and the housing price coming down. We want to move so bad. But for some reason, the Lord has not led us to do that. But we are on HIS time table. We want to move out. Far out. Away from the city and the "creeping in" of the inner city troubles. I don't want to have to move again any time soon after we get out of this mess!

So all I can hope is that it all works out. It's all in God's hands. I just have to believe that I am a part of something big in God's plan. He's using this time in my life to build up to something worthy later. I have taken so much from the examples of others, and I pray that one day, I can do the same for someone who will be in my position.

I am blessed. Blessed by God. Blessed with a wonderful family.

I guess I don't need God to grow me a money tree in the backyard

(but wow, what a killing we'd make! hahahahaha).

God's growing seeds of faith in me, instead.
