Last night I sat on Allisons bed and prayed with her. We prayed for her teachers and her classmates. I also took Allisons request for her Back to School hairstyle. We picked out the jewelry she would wear. After I tucked her in and kissed her goodnight I went to Joslyns room. Joslyn was so nervous about statrting middle school. I tried to calm her nerves by reminding her that everyone was feeling the same. I sat on Joslyns bed with her and we prayed. Joslyn and I prayed for the teachers, the students and her nervousness. I also took Joslyn request for her Back to School hair style request and helped her pick out the jewelry she would wear. I tucked her in and kissed her goodnight.
This morning Joslyn and I were up at 6am. I plugged in the curling iron, and began to curl "just the bottom part of my hair mom" Joslyn reiterated to me. At 6:45am I woke up Allison. I pulled her hair back into a ponytail with a white ribbon. I was instructed to curl her ponytail and have 2 curls hang from the sides of her face.
The weather was very bad this morning. It was raining and in the 40's. Joslyn insisted on riding the school bus with her best friend Mia. Mia called the house at about 7:10am. Joslyn and Mia made plans to meet at the corner of our street and walk to the bus stop together. I wanted to drive Joslyn to school especially since it was raining and cold. However I knew Joslyn and Mia really wanted to ride the school bus. So I sent Joslyn on her way with a kiss, "God bless you" and an umbrella.
Allison and I left the house at 7:45am. I drove Allison to school and I walked her into her classroom. Allisons 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Sizemore moved up to a 4th grade teacher and moved all her students from 3rd grade up to the 4th grade with her. So Allison knows her teacher and all her classmates. However there are a few new students and some of Allisons friends did move away over the summer.
Allison told me all about her day at school and after dinner tonight we will call Grandma on Skype and the girls can tell her all about their 1st day.
Joslyn called me after school (from one of her friends cell phone) and asked if she could go to the Teen Center with her friends. The Teen Center is right next to middle school. They have a lot of different activities for the middle school aged kids. So Joslyn will ride the shuttle bus back to our post from the teen center. I am looking forward to Joslyn coming home so I can hear all about her first day of middle school. However when Joslyn called to ask permission to go to the Teen Center she did tell me that she has every class but 1 with Isiah (a boy she likes).

I am just moved by this blog. I know when my daughter was in school I would pray over her before she went to school and for her teachers. It is very rare you find people doing this and maybe many do but you don't always hear or read about it. I pray that all of your followers when they read this that they are moved to do the same. We must cover our children and family before they go out of our doors. God bless you and your family.
