Fix Your Mind

Isabella and Soren with their webkins (before Soren's haircut) and obviously I need to take a photography class...



So I wake up this am and instantly start thinking of the school situation and almost start to cry. I am overly emotional right now, I'm sure that I still have this cold (since Easter) does not help. Got my 3rd round of drugs yesterday....
I read my email from "Joel Osteen" and it says "Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is kind, if there is any virture, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things" ( Philippians 4:8) . In a nutshell what you think about determines the quality and direction of your life. I read this over and over in every self help book I have (which is alot), and my mom always taught us to play the "glad game", just like Pollyanna, concentrate on what you are glad about in your life and not what you don't. It goes on to say some transations say "fix your mind". So I am really going to work to "fix my mind" especially on this school situation and let God do the work in our lives.
Last night Isabella said to me "did you tell daddy about the school" and I said "yes but we have not made up our minds yet" and she replied "it is god's plan" ...ugh - I know it is his plan and I need to just continue to trust him and not second guess it, and then feel guilty that I did something wrong.
Las Brisas has been a huge safety net for me and I just don't feel like jumping out of it yet.
The whole church thing isn't even coming into to play at this point, if I pull the kids from school then I will most likely stay at church for now, so the kids have some comfort there. I know my church family will love me no matter what school my kids go to.
Okay 2 posts in 2 days... can you believe it?
Have a great Wednesday! I'm sure hoping this cold is gone soon.
