I have been so thankful for all the years we had together, as a family, in that particular way. We had many successes and also many bumps along the way. It was such a blessing until it wasn't anymore. Our family needed to close up shop and pursue other avenues of education. In this episode, I am NOT preaching school choice -- that choice is a specific privilege for each family. Rather, I do share that what God has shown me, how he has consoled me, and the ways he has helped me grow in faith as I obediently let go of my own ideals and expectations. Please consider financially supporting the podcast Call to Action -  Ask God what expectations you have allowed other people (unknowingly) to put on you and are now painfully holding onto those impossibilities. Scripture -  "When I thought, \u201cMy foot is slipping,\u201d     your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many,     your consolations cheer my soul. " -Psalm 94:18-19 Saint Quote -  "Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience." - St. Theresa Calcutta ","author_name":"Thriving in the Trenches a Catholic Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/thrivinginthetrenches.com","html":"
