Welcome to the end of another week!
This week marked the end of a very eclectic school year for our family. We began in September with carrying on our homeschool routine, the kiddos in Grade 3, Kindergarten and preschool. Then, after circumstances, prayer and God's leading, they entered public school in January. Well, two and a half months of public school is what we got in before the Covid shutdown and we returned to home learning. This week, they were each able to spend some time at school, saying bye to their classroom and bringing some closure to the end of an odd school year.
Changing plans isn't always easy. I've found that entering each new season of transition always requires me to be on alert, to my emotions, to the needs of my family and intentionality in adjusting our rhythms and routines.
I'm sure you've found that this year as well!
It takes a lot of energy and effort, but through every season, there is so much to learn, about ourselves, our faith and the One who holds all things in His hand.
What are some things you've learned in all the changes this year?
