Thank you

Hey.  I just wanted to say Thank you. I know people have been praying for me since I posted yesterday. After some morning anxiety, a good cry and a prayer of exasperation, I really did have a considerably peaceful day.  I actually had a sense of anticipation.  Nothing external really changed but I was almost joyful throughout the day.  Go figure!  It had to be friends like you praying. Peter went to church without the usual war and did what was asked without to much hoopla. (Perhaps it was motivated by knowing that I was attending open house at the Military School.)  So yes,  I did go to the open house. I realized that it is an honor for Peter to have been accepted at such a school.  It also confirmed that it would definitely provide discipline, structure and academic motivation that I struggle to provide. No one offered me any more money.  My peace is simply that if God provides money (in whatever form that may be), I will trust that this is the school for Peter. I confess that I did a little "retail therapy" after the open house to sooth my soul from the information overload. I bought a plant for my porch and for some very strange yet to be figured out reason, a "Jimmy Buffet" CD.  When I got home, I realized perhaps I should have bought a Lottery Ticket. 

Thanks for you prayers today.  I am indeed grateful.
