Blessings

A few years ago, I lost something very dear to me. My school Cornerstone Christian Academy which I had gone to from 4th-7th grade. My dad was the principal and my teacher and I love it. I know that some kids would dread having their parents as teachers, but I didn't mind at all. He was the best teacher I ever had. Sadly, in 2008, the school had to close. It was very hard to let go, but I knew that God must have had a plan. 8th grade came and I was at a public school. I didn't like it. At first I thought it would be cool to be able to wear whatever I wanted and to have such a big school, but it soon came clear to me that it wasn't worth it. I wanted out. I was bullied at the beginning by one girl and it was tough, but it soon blew over. I prayed that God would give my opportunities to be a witness to others but I still didn't want to be there. The few friends that I had, noticed how I didn't swear or act like other kids. I told them why-I'm a Christian. After that year, i prepared for the high school. I was accepted into the dance squad, which was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to. Then, about 2 days before school started, my dad told me that he had gotten a call from the Christian school that he had gotten a job at, and that they would make it financially possible for me to come. I was shocked. He told me that if I wanted to go, I would have to go on a trip with school's high school the net day. It was very short notice but I was happy to have such a great opportunity. I was kind of upset to have to give up the dance squad, but now that I look back at it, it was a small price to pay for such an amazing school. I thank God for my new school. God has showed me over these past few years that when He closes one door, He opens another. I just had to trust and rely on Him.
