I can't imagine how this must feel, but know that one day I will since I can imagine that we will be in a similar situation. <BR/><BR/>Both are great schools though, I went to the state one and Brett to the private one. Not that this matters......her dreams are her dreams.<BR/><BR/>Praying for you mommy heart, and Amanda's dream.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466171009393977243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223042462457288249.post-91176605520655733932009-03-26T18:43:00.000-07:002009-03-26T18:43:00.000-07:00I have an idea.

Thousands of dollars go unclaimed because no one ever applies for the money. Get creative, outside the box, and outside government (oh wait, maybe they'll give her a bailout plan! Ugh..sorry). Praying for a way to be made and that door to be opened.Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640506837259918157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223042462457288249.post-72566990660411821032009-03-26T15:49:00.000-07:002009-03-26T15:49:00.000-07:00Good points from each of you...lots of things to p...Good points from each of you...lots of things to ponder...I hurt, though - this is my girl, you know?Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227034284591128601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223042462457288249.post-1984140576172767632009-03-26T15:31:00.000-07:002009-03-26T15:31:00.000-07:00Maybe God IS blessing her.

Maybe he is stretching Amanda in new ways; if it is state school, what seed does He know she can spread for others that need to hear her words of wisdom, or care, or being. If it is the private school, maybe she'll be stretched to include work to her college schedule. I do not have the answers, just support that God is not shutting a door, he is opening one that you have yet to find. I know it is tough - Hugs to you and your sweetie.Elle Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506931705691712594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223042462457288249.post-13283216867645640512009-03-26T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-26T13:29:00.000-07:00Man, Jodi...sorry to hear about this situation.It ...Man, Jodi...sorry to hear about this situation.<BR/><BR/>It kinda reminds me of my college selection...I totally ended up somewhere different then I thought.<BR/><BR/>The thought that keeps coming to mind as I read your post was that as amazing as you all felt life would be for her at her "college of choice"...God has something even bigger and better in store for her. Maybe it's disguised in a state school and that isn't the original vision...but there is a bigger plan at work. <BR/><BR/>Again...not trying to belittle anything or minimize your feelins and frustrations, just remember though that God hasn't foresaken her or decided not to bless her...he is just painting a picture that looks different then the one you were painting.Organized Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096792135498383704noreply@blogger.com
