The
decision is made; Jordan is choosing KCS, a smaller private Christian school.
It was not an easy decision for Jordan - it just came down to less
stress. There are 2 classes of grade 10 - 50 students as opposed to over 800 at
the public school he was originally expecting to attend. His first day is
Wednesday since they need Tuesday to bring the teachers up to speed and make
the necessary adjustments.
Kim is planning on
returning this week to begin to rebuild his consulting/counselling business
that he stepped away from at the beginning of the year. We have been
supported and sustained by loving friends and family financially through this journey.
We are sooo grateful! We have not had to sell our home in the midst
of it all to pay bills or try to keep working when our heart was with Jordan. This
is our step of faith, believing that Jordan will be able to attend school and
not require both of our full-time attention.
Today
has been a day of prayer. Jordan has gone from groggy to violent nausea
all day long. We were so looking forward to a marshmallow roast on the
beach since the campfire ban was lifted. Or a car trip. Or a boat
ride. Anything fun!
But instead, we get more practice at praying and remaining and believing and commanding - Jordan included. We are so proud of him. I would be whining and complaining and looking for sympathy. He thanks us, tells us he loves us and encourages us to take breaks. Tonight he changed the bicycle horn protocol: one or two squeezes means ‘Please come’, lots of squeezes means ‘Hurry and pray out loud while you come so I can hear’. :-)
