I have felt like something wasn't right with our homeschooling for a few weeks, and I have felt very uneasy for days. My prayers were pretty simple, "Help me. Something is wrong and I don't know what."
One day, it was warm so Sasha and I sat on the front porch and chatted while the other kids played. She asked me a question about high school, which I answered. I asked her if she wanted to go to high school. She said she did. So then, I asked her if she wanted to attend junior high, not knowing why I was even asking her that since it was never our plan to send our kids to junior high. She started to cry and said she did want to go. I immediately knew that this was right. I felt the heaviness I had been feeling be lifted. It has been such a spiritual experience from me and I am so thankful for a loving Father in Heaven that knows what I need to do to raise these kids He gave to Will and I. I knew I needed help, not sure exactly what, and He gave it.
She is registered for the fall. She is beyond excited. I am happy for her. And nervous. I will miss her very much. But, this is right. Off she goes. Love you so much, Sasha Belle.

Oh wow! I'm guessing (from my own experience) that it may be a little harder on you than her when she actually goes out the door, but it sounds like you are obviously doing the right thing. :) What a sweet experience and I am ready to learn from you what junior high is like!
We've already talked, but I love everything about this story and decision process. I love that you asked, listened (to Sasha and our Heavenly Father) and that everything has worked out. I also love that she has been with you and you've had that opportunity to learn and grow together and become so close. I will be here to talk you through her first day.....as you watch every ounce of time the second hand ticks. She is obviously ready and will be a great example to the other kids she will come in contact with, because of all you have taught her. You should feel a huge sense of accomplishment! Sure love you! Go Sasha......The Seahawks are waiting for you!!!
