Well, we are here in Little Rock getting settled and transitioning from small town Denton to medium-size town Little Rock, and preparing to move to big-city Atlanta. It has been great for our family. We are all transitioning well, but we wanted to share a little about our journey with Trinity. Dhati and I made the decision to send Trinity to public school. At first, I was very weary. The first week of school, Trinity came home tracing letters that she has known for a couple of years, BUT she was loving every minute of it! Such a so
cial bug. About 2 weeks into her being in school, we were given the opportunity to go to an academy for FREE, (a true blessing). This place had a higher academic record and more bells and whistles, but neither of us felt peace about sending her there. We felt God urging us to keep her at her current school. Now, I think we know why. She is really loving school, has a genuine love for learning and for her peers. She has shared Christ with one little girl whom we are praying for! According to Trinity's teacher, she has really been a light and has exemplified a godly example! What a blessing that we do not know we would have been able to recreate at home. She has excelled in school and has gained the confidence she needed to move to the next step. She is reading now, and writing her own thoughts on paper in her 'diary.' She comes home telling us of how she had to forgive the way Christ forgives, that she choose to respond with kind words when someone hurt her feelings. She is really getting to put her faith into action--at 5 years old. We are thrilled for her and cannot be more excited about the little girl that God is developing her into. One thing we have learned in regard to new city with school-age kids--it is best to register your children in January with the school district in order to get into certain schools. (There are waiting lists and overcrowded schools) Something to keep in mind if you don't want to drive further than necessary to get your little ones to school. Please continue to pray for Trinity and for our parenting of her as we cannot be dependent on our own wisdom. More to follow on the other Lewis'.
