conflict

My heart is so torn.  Before we would have ever sent our son to the Honor Academy we of course did much research.  I talked to many people who have students there.  I talked to many students who are there.  I talked to leadership at the Honor Academy and I did many many online searches and read the good and the bad about the Honor Academy.  The students and parents of students that I spoke with had nothing but good to tell me about the Honor Academy.  Some of what I read online was another story.  This terrified me. So as a family we relied on the speaker of truth.  The Holy Spirit.  God made it very very clear to us as a family that The Honor Academy was where Ben was to be.   We prayed for clarity and it was given.  We prayed for financial provision and it was and is continuing to be given.  We now as a family pray for healing of wounded hearts, forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation.  It truly grieves my heart that young people have been hurt and it truly grieves my heart that a ministry is being so caught up in the mess of people's mistakes of the past.  So as my mother-in-law used to say..."I go back to the corner to pray".
