Thankful God knows what we need

 I can't believe school is already done for the year. My little girl is done with kindergarten & will start school with an actual number. Who would have thought 1st grade would sneak up on us so quickly. We had a rough start to kindergarten, well that's actually a lie. I had a rough start to kindergarten. I put in some requests for Serenity's teacher & was so upset when none of the people I had wanted were chosen to be her teacher. Like really upset. Like I cried & I cried & I cried. It took me probably a full month & a lot of talking to God to finally understand He put her where He wanted her and for that I'm so thankful.  We always think we know what's best for our lives & for our children but our Father is the only one who really knows. I was making my pick solely on who I wanted just because I wanted them. No other reason than that. I wasn't thinking about the type of classmates she could have, the type of influence she would have the opportunity to be, the kind of non school related things her teacher could teach her I was just thinking boohoo this isn't what I wanted. I'm glad that God knows what we need when we don't. We have had an amazing year with an amazing teacher. Her & Serenity fit so well together. She pushed Serenity where she needed it & encouraged her & praised her as well. This school year has been amazing & I feel Serenity wouldn't be the little girl she is at this very moment if it wasn't for Mrs. Butler. We love her & are so thankful for a great year with her.
