Middle School

Well summer has flown bye, I can’t believe another school year has started. Alyssa is going into 3rd and my Hayley into 6th. It doesn’t seem like a huge move for Halyey going into middle school because she will stay at the same school. But at church she moved up to the Riptide. All summer she has been so excited about the move and going to a small group. Today I sat in a room with a handful of other middle school parents as Josh explain what to expect from the riptide. At on point he shared that next year they may talk about sex and God’s views on it and dating. We had not even pulled out of the church parking lot when my daughter started to question me. What did he mean talk about sex? What would he say? Would he do the talking even to the girls? And what about dating? You said I am never allowed to date. As I drove I thought really God is this what you have for me today. So I look forward to all the conversation that my child who I still think is five and I will be having.
