So, my 16 year old son got suspended from school for more then six weeks.
I won't bother you with the details of why. However, I have learned more about the school district and policy then I ever wanted to know. This isn't exactly what I'd planned to do with the month of October, however, here we are, in meetings with teachers, principals, and administrators. This has more or less taken over my life and turned my son's life upside down.After this happened, we made a family wide decision not to tell my parents. Everyone, (mostly my sister), felt it might be too upsetting for them. However, ultimately, almost three weeks into this drama, guilt took over and I called the folks and confessed, Caleb has been kicked out of school. Now bear in mind my parents are almost eighty years old. They've had worse news. They were not nearly as traumatized as the rest of us. My mother and I talked about it for more then an hour. However, the only thing my dad had to say was this."Lisa, don't get too caught up in the 'why's'. You don't always know. In fact, most of the time when things go wrong the reason is hard to find ~ but it always comes. The day always comes when you look back on things and understand how God was working behind the scenes to turn things to your benefit."Alrighty then…As simple as that statement was I kicked myself for not calling sooner. I needed to be reminded that despite the fact that some of the teachers seem to be against us, the principal seems to be against us, and the school administration seems to be against us, God is still on our side. God is working behind the scenes to see to it that my son comes out of this ahead and I come out of it without an ulcer.Deep breath – wouldn't it have been easier to remember that from the start?So, I don't know the why's.
I don't know the how's.I don't have to. It's not my job to know. All I have to know is this.
All is well. God is working behind the scenes to turn things to my benefit.He's working behind the scenes for you too.Lisa Hayes is a mind, body, soul, practitioner who views the person as a whole -
