Yesterday we got news that my daughter will not be able to go to the school of our choice.  I was frustrated, irritated and sad.  And the first thing I did was go reach for food in the kitchen.  After I pulled the food out I stopped myself and thought - WHAT AM I DOING?  I put the food back and I just felt.  I was frustrated all afternoon and still am this morning.  This morning I am mostly sad, though. Sad that my plans are not going to work out.  My plan for her to go to this school from kindergarten to 12th grade.  My plan for her and her brother to be at the same school so we don't have to trek between two schools.  My plan for her to go to school with her BFF.

But I have to ultimately trust God.  He has a plan.  (Usually a better one!)  We prayed about her going to this school and his answer at this time is no.  When my son was applying to this school we prayed about it and he got in so easily.  With my daughter it has been hard to get her in.  So God must have a different plan for her, and I have to trust that.
