First Day of School

It is the evening of the First Day of School. By God's love and grace, our family successfully made it through this momumental first day. However, let's define "successfully": no tears (except Mommy's), no calls from the principal or an English-speaking teacher who is able to translate, 3 pleasant children at pick-up and as Andrew put it--Noah didn't hit anyone with a stick. Yes, this was a successful first day of school. We are so thankful for all those who prayed for us and our children on this step-of-faith-kinda-day. We felt enabled by God's peace and strength that was a result of your prayers. For now, we are taking it one day at time...and we'll see how tomorrow goes! But tonight, we are celebrating a good day and giving God the glory for it!
