An answer to Prayer--Proverbs 22:6

(KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.Proverbs 22:6 Tonight I had my niece at the house for awhile. We have not had her over much since she stopped almost living with us and homeschooling with Tara last June. Once she started going to the Charter school and daycare situations she was sick a lot, and our schedules never seemed to mesh up, and Tara has been sick so much. Between one thing and another, it just has seemed that we have only seen her here and there for a little bit. A few sleep overs, but one or the other of the kids, or me or mom has been getting sick or over tired. Anyway, today I got to see the kids play together, and Karma work with Mom in the garden, and then she came in to show me some homework and read to me. She was so grown up and doing so well with her studies. She was helpful and polite and everything I could have wanted from her. The kids were playing well together. I prayed and cried and agonized so much before looking at other schooling options for her, and then when it actually came time to do it I questioned myself and God repeatedly. Over the past few months when she kept getting sick, I asked God "REALLY?" "This is what you wanted? This is what I was supposed to do?" But watching her today, I received my sense of peace. This is what He saw in the changes we made. This is the "All things work together for the good of those who love god". She is closer to her mother then ever, they are really having fun together a lot. And THIS school is working for her. As I felt the Lord was telling me last year, it is the right school at the right time for her. And it was right for Tara and me, too. Now Tara's health is improving, and we can start to concentrate on education and extra-curricular for her. But we had to get her health evened out first, and Karma deserved to not be held back by that for this whole year. I am so blessed by seeing Karma flourishing. Thank you, Lord. (NIV) Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
