Remember when you were 18, graduating and starting a new chapter in your life? For 13 years, school was all you knew. The people you saw everyday became your closest friends, confidants, running buddies and boyfriends or girlfriends.
Last night we had the Band Booster Banquet. My son is graduating this year. Next month he will perform in his last band concert. At the end of May he will go to State for Solo & Ensemble. He is ending one chapter in his life and starting his new one. Michael was always a sweet little boy. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was and sometimes still is a "mama's boy".
He now wants to be a missionary. Most kids grow up and want to be a doctor, lawyer, football player, rockstar or something else, but a missionary? I don't know what God has in store for him but whatever He does, Michael will be good at it. I just hope he will continue to be compassionate and let the Lord lead him.
Amanda and I will finish homeschool the first week of June. I am looking into a new distance learning option BJU has, it is a hard drive that they send you with classes on it. When you rent one, books come with it and you return the box after 13 months.
In a way, I am also having an Ending. Michael's band career, soccer, football, all of his running around and us supporting him will end. I may have marching season withdrawals come August.
Our beginning is with Amanda. We didn't homeschool Michael so this year with Amanda has been an adventure. I don't know how long we will be doing this, that is up to God. I know that I want her to grow up respecting people, have good manners and to love God.
We have all kinds of extra stuff for her to be involved in without public school. Soccer, girl scouts, spanish lessons, piano (if she wanted).
I guess I'm sad cause my little boy is growing up and I'm not sure that I'm ready for that.
Yes, I'm rambling...I'm not sure that I'm ready for the Ending or Beginnings.
Havea wonderful week!
