Here is a picture of my little monkey aka Sam eating a banana this morning. No he does not have a hand deformity, LOL he is just so excited that we let him hold it by himself:)
- I'm stuck on the computer today filling out several kinds of paperwork. One is a grant for Shad to go back to his Christan school that he has gone to since kindergarten. There is some type of fund in Florida called Step Up For Students that will give lower income families a grant if they meet certain requirements. Shad has always had a grant but since he didn't use it this past school year (since the accident happened and we never made it home and then did home school) I was not sure he would still qualify....but he does! Problem is all the paperwork is due by Friday and their system keeps knocking me off of it! I've been on the phone twice with "more than 10 callers ahead of you" this is crazy!
I'm also doing paperwork for insurance.....it stinks....
And should be doing some paperwork for the church......
UGH! And I really just want to go read my new book from the library!
ORPHAN MINISTRY UPDATE

On June 1st we will start with another orphan focus.....this one will be a surprise to you....it's a BIG deal to us and we will be thrilled to unveil who it is and our relationship to that child on June 1st!!!!!!
Dear Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I last wrote a comment. I check your blog every evening and then I read about your yesterday. (That because of the difference in the time.) There is a Bibelverse that keeps coming back to my mind: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;his love endures forever.
That is a word for you from me, here far away in Finland!
Blessings, Inger
Love that verse!
DeleteThank you for reading my blog and praying for Selah. It amazes me that someone so far away cares for us!!!!! how did you ever hear of our family?????
Hi! We also live in FL and our little guy has a McKay Scholarship to go to a private school. Our much older boy also used this grant. Maybe Shad could get this? It's VERY easy - all you need to qualify is to be in a FL public school for a year, and have an IEP. And the private school has to be a McKay accepting school. Have you tried this yet?
ReplyDeleteShad doesn't have an IEP, he is only blind in one eye. If he had ever gone to public school he might qualify for an IEP for gifted but I'm not sure. We have used the Step Up For Students for him. Our Christian school does take the McKay too.
