Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

It's been a very hard year.Past prayer request. A year that blindsided me. I didn't know what to do. I considered sending the kids to school because I felt my struggle to do the best I could was not enough.
Well, this past week, in spite of being in total crisis mode all year, the kids received their state test scores. Kim and Luke both scored at the 99th percentile and Gracie, who basically schooled herself for 6th grade, myself just adding to her schooling when I could manage, scored at the 85th percentile.

My therapist, whom has been pushing(very hard) for me to send the kids to school for the past 6 months, was quieted today. She admits, that we certainly did something right and we made the right choice. Hooray for us!! (And hooray especially for my husband who insisted that I could do this.)

Praise be to God and thanks for all the prayers...I now know I can do all things with God who strengthens me.

What blessed confirmation, Joann! May the Lord continue to keep you and your family in the Palm of His Hand! You can indeed do all things with Him! We've been through many a crisis year, and I am always so grateful for those times we were able to stay the course. Continuing to keep you all in prayer!
