Today, Russ and I had to meet with the admissions team and preschool director at the preschool we are trying to get Gavin into. It is at the Christian school affiliated with the church we have been visiting. SInce it is a covenant school, we needed to go in and tell them our testimony of our salvation experience so that they could recommend or not recommend our family for admission into the school. Let me start by saying, that is great! I am fine with the interview process and with telling them all about my excitement about coming to Christ and the impact Christ has had on my life.
What I will say that I am not too crazy about is the waiting... as we sit and wait for a decision board to decide if we are worthy or not to attend, it frustrates me. I KNOW my walk with Christ. I KNOW the power of grace and forgiveness God has given me undeservingly! I hate feeling like someone other than my Savior is judging me based on a 30 minute meeting. I will say, that my life is not wrapped in a pretty little bow perfect and unblemished. Every single day is a new day and a new struggle to make the right choices to follow my God and to seek His face. Not everyday do I give it all to God. I am not a perfect Christian, there was only one of those and because of Him, I am not perfect, but forgiven.
So, we will see...

Hmmm, I see how it could seem like they were judging your testimony but I doubt that was the real intent. At least I hope it wasn't. At Calvary they didn't make us wait but just wanted to make sure we were professing Christians and that we would join alongside them by agreeing to the covenant values of the school. If you do continue to sense the legalistic, judgment I would urge you to look elsewhere. If there is a long wait maybe it is just because they have a waiting list or something like that. Praying for God's will in Gavin's little life and that he will go to school exactly where he is meant to be! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI know, Kim...I know. I know they were not "judging" us per se, and I appreciate the screening process, but the wait for ... I guess "approval" is just a touch intimidating. I KNOW my God is in control and he will take care of us all, but it is days of my "schizophrenic" mind wondering when I try to take it back, if you know what I mean! :)
