Gas prices are outrageous here! It costs me $90 to fill up my van, and right now while LK is in PreK I have to fill my tank up once a week. That's $360/mo on gas alone. [Good thing I'm learning to coupon so I can cut grocery prices]. I know this dates me but I remember in HS when gas prices were around $1/gal. Why can't it just be like that again. Why does everything have to get so expensive?
One reason we burn through the gas is because LK's school is a 25 min drive one way, twice a day. Talk about miles on the van, and gas being used. In fact I keep having to remind myself that God provides, espcially when we obey Him. The reason he goes to the private school is because that's where we felt God was asking us to take Him. I can't explain it, because unless you have God telling YOU something directly to do it never makes as much sense to someone else (especially so when we're paying the gas).
When we were deciding what to do about LK's school we just kept praying and praying, and we were not finding peace regarding his education. For many reasons. School class sizes in local public schools, and some issues that LK has that make it difficult for him to adjust, and adapt and we didn't know how that would be handled. Not to mention the the fact that we are raising our children to be followers of Christ and that seems difficult if I send them to a public school, for 7 hours or so, a place that continually takes God out of their place, and even forbids it to an extent. [Just for the record I went to a public school, my husband went to a private school].
And so we pursued the closest private school, and were told we couldn't wait until Kindergarten if we wanted in. So that day I dropped everything, drove there and filled out the application. Now I must tell you that the day we got the call we were accepted to the school, we still didn't know how we were going to pay for it....but two days, no kidding, TWO DAYS after we were accepted God provided a very clear way for the tuition for that half of the year.
So now I keep worrying about gas prices, and I keep worrying about how we are going to pay for this...but then I ask myself WHY am I worrying? God has alwasy provided, He has always been very clear and direct with my husband and I, and has even provided in extreme and EXACT ways.....so I wouldn't put it past God to show us when we refigure our budget or when something comes up that we do have the extra, and exact amount of $360 for gas money to take our LK to school.....
....with that note maybe I should go work on our budget.....LOL
