Thank you for your prayers! Glen was very receptive the other night. He said he wanted me to do what I chose to do. I am already seeing provisions for Home schooling curriculum and possible extra income for Glen.

 

By the way, one of the traits of a virtuous woman was rising up early to feed her family. Because I leave the house about 2 hours before Glen, I usually let him prepare his own breakfast. This past week I prepared breakfast every day. He finally asked me what was going on! I could tell it influenced our communication throughout the rest of the day!

In Him,

Aneta

Dear Sandy,

Just wanted you to know that I turned in my notice at work today. The principal was a little shocked and spoke very kind of me. He prayed with me and asked God's blessing on our decision. I also told the kids tonight. We have shared many tears, but I told them how excited I was to see God's blessings on this choice. We have already began to make a wonderful list of things we will be FREE to do next fall! One of those is attending a mission trip to Cleveland, GA. that took place after we went to school.

 

I'm writing to continue with your coveted prayers. I plan to tell my co-worker and my mom tomorrow afternoon. This will be the hardest part. I guess I haven't mentioned that I work with my mom at school! I am pulling her grandchildren away from her daily time. It is not going to be easy! Thank you again for your time with me!

Love,

Aneta Dodd

Good Morning Sandy, 

 

Thank you for your continued encouragement.

 I told my mom. She was really upset at first because she remembers the first time I stayed home. I think maybe I have given you the wrong impression of my parents. They are wonderful, loving, Christian parents.

 

However, job security and knowing where the money is coming from is very top on their list. My dad "retired" last spring, but is still working 35 hours a week because he is scared to not have the money coming in. I just knew this was going to be a hard concept for them. I asked for their prayers for Glen's leadership and for peace in our home.

 

I also told my co-worker. She cried! She said she could not imagine anyone else behind that classroom door. I promised her that I would come occasionally and do something fun with her class and that we would stay in touch. She is a wonderful person and I will miss her so much next year.

 

The kids are getting more excited. They want to tell their friends today. We named our school Geedville Christian School or GCS for short! I am getting excited to see all the possibilities!

 

Have a Blessed Day,

Aneta
