I knew it was going to take some work to get this set up.
I also had the sense that there were going to be setbacks.
Going back to school for both kids is a big deal for anyone. For me, it was a source of high anxiety because of my son's special needs and aggressive behaviors, and those combined with kindergarten.
The first week was great. We were still holding our breath, but we were happy.
Then yesterday, it all fell apart, and I sort of did, too. He acted out, the school called, and we were all trying to figure it out.
What do you do when there are a million things to do, but your son's academic situation is critical, and you can't really help... and you think it will probably be like this for another few days or weeks...
I freaked out, and then finally asked some friends to pray for me today (anyone else feel like their chronic need can be a drain on others, so they back off from mentioning it?). I think they have, because I feel a bit more steady.
This song was just going through my head - I listened to this album yesterday and drew courage from it, though I was deeply shaken.

I've put one foot in front of the other today and done what needed doing. Phone calls, housework, and now I think some more house work, more pending calls, maybe some sewing. Trying to enjoy a few days at home alone before I go back to work.
What steps are you taking today? What kind of stuff happens that causes you to walk by faith?
