Nena's First Day At School - Camden Christian Academy

This is the 1st full week home for Nena and Edward. They have been away from me for 1 year and 2 mos. How they managed to be as wonderful as they are and as OKAY as they are is a gift to my sanity from God. My daughters resiliance is a tribute to the resiliance of the women in my family (apparently). My birth mother went through many tragedies, my sister has lived through many many tragedies, I have lived through well you get the point....TRAGEDY!!!!

Nena started a new school today. Edward went to day care at Miss Mary Ann's and mommy went to work. This will be my first full week in over a year. I ran a lot of errands today. I wonder how I can better organize my time. Let go and let GOD!!! I am quite sure given the opportunity my heavenly father could do a much better job organizing my life than I ever can.

This is truly all new to me. I have never been a parent. I was not a mother the first 7-1/2 years of Nena's life but I believe God is giving me a second chance. I am terrified. I want to do the right thing, but I also want them to love me. I am worried about Nena in school. She is truly a piece of work. She is dramatic and funny and smart and TALKATIVE. She has no boundaries (YIKES) and I just don't know what to expect of her. I am sure she is in the right place though. I can't homeschool which is what I would do if I were home, but this school seems to be the best place for a Christ centered education with a personal touch.

2008 is new beginnings for everyone in the Frye-Gallaher family. I hope Edward benefits from being raised by 2 females!!!

Praise be to God for this day. Blessings abound!
