Prayful Consideration

I have not posted in awhile mostly because we've been busy, but not with the usual blogworthy things. I haven't taken many pictures really. There are many things on my mind that I have trouble sharing on the blog, and even though it would be therapeutic to type it here, I probably shouldn't.
One thing I can share...We have been prayerfully considering sending Mikayla to Dublin, NH to attend a Christian, college prep school. It's a wonderful school that has high academic standards, and is chock full of fine arts opportunities. She would have the opportunity to take piano, voice, flute, and be in a traveling chorale group, as well as being a part of drama productions. All things that are right up her alley, and things that are very difficult to provide up here in Lincoln. She is ready to be done with homeschooling, and if I'm perfectly honest, so am I. High School is so difficult and there are so many things that we would love to provide for her and can't. Two problems with this...she is still quite young and I can't imagine her gone from home for such long periods of time although she is raring to give it a try. I think she's ready, it's just her Mom that has had her nearby all the time that is struggling even though I can see how great it would be for her. The other major problem is how expensive it is. We applied for a scholarship, so now we just pray and wait. I usually have the next school all planned out by now. So, for now, I have done all her grades, had her tested and gotten the results back to send to them, sent in the application for enrollment with the fee for that, and sent in the application for a scholarship. And we pray and pray and pray. This is seriously one of the times that I wish that God would shout out the answer. But He doesn't. He is not in the whirlwind or the storm, but speaks with a still, small voice.
