All over the state of New York yesterday thousands of kids started school. Two of our children were no different! It is exciting for me as a mom to see my children start school each year and love it. But this year was a little different. Not because of school but because of what came before school…..a bus ride.
I used to ride a bus. It was really no big deal, but i rode with my age group, and when i switched to the local Christian school my senior year we had our own mini bus that the public school provided for the Christian school and the Catholic school to share. But since we have moved. We now live within the 15 miles required by a school district to receive bussing for our kids , which would be great…….BUT our kindergartner and first grader would have to ride with high schoolers from the public school district we live in. That concerned me…A LOT!
So i prayed…A LOT! Well it all came down to yesterday. We had talked about riding the bus and do’s and don’ts. One problem though….we hand’t heard from the school district about when the bus would arrive. So we got up early and waited and waited and waited some more….from 6 am to 7:10 am when hubby called the bus garage to see if he could figure something out.
What we found out brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart! The school district had enough students to our local Christian school to warrant their own vehicle with no extra transfer point at the high school. All along i was praying for God to protect the hearts and minds of my children. I never asked Him once for their own vehicle. God did just that he protected their hearts and minds the best way possible, which was totally outside my line of sight. I serve a big God in whom I love!
