Beautiful Mess: Seeking Jesus, Finding Beautiful WISDOM
Melanie and Christy are joined with friend and special guest Jenn Powell. They have a candid conversation around the hot topic of how to seek the wisdom of Jesus in the hard decision about schooling your child(ren). We get it—it’s hard! It feels weighty and important, and as moms we want to make the very best choice possible. Our goal isn’t to give you an answer, but to offer some helpful encouragement as you process what might be right for you and your family. Note: we merely touch on the various school options, as well as the depth of emotion and challenge that exists in making a decision about school.
We encourage you to have your own candid conversations with friends about school choices—How can you best learn from one another? How can you be supporters and cheerleaders for one another, even if your choices are different? How can we spur one another on in looking toward the perfect wisdom of Jesus as we grow in discernment?
And, If you are in the middle of considering a decision for your child(ren), here’s a couple of steps you can take:
(1) Gather some wise voices around you and learn about what made them choose their specific path. What do they love about their choice? What’s a unique challenge they’ve experienced with their choice? How has the Lord guided them in their decision?
(2) Ask a small group of friends to pray with and for you as you seek wisdom. Think about inviting them to help you process these questions (based on the doors of discernment by Fr. Mike Schmidtz):
Special resource to help further your processing: The School Choice Workbook by Risen Motherhood. It will help you think biblically and prayerfully converse about school options.
