The Goings-on

I can't believe that is July already! The summer is now half-way over and what do I have to show for it? The Baldi's have been pretty busy with ball season and all. Now, ball season is over and things can start settling down.

The Baldi household has entered a new season. We have recently resigned the Youth Group at our church and although it was a bittersweet separation, we are beyond relieved to be out from under that responsibility. (Apparently, so are many others.) We truly had a heart for the youth that we worked with and looked forward to what the future held for the youth of WMAC. Unfortunately, as with any "break-up", feelings have been hurt. We had full intention of notifiying the children ourselves of our decision, but that task was taken out of our hands while we were on vacation. So, understandably so, there are some who feel betrayed because we were not the ones who let them know. We wish the youth the best in the future and continue to pray that the right decisions will be made regarding their leadership.

As part of this new season we have entered, we are exploring many options. Life sometimes comes at you at full force and you aren't ready for what lies ahead. Our job is to just handle it the way God would have us handle it. This is especially hard. No one ever expects those closest to you would hurt you. Right now, we are praying about certain situations that have happened lately and seeking the Will of God on how to handle them. Sometimes distancing yourselves from the situations is the best solution. That is probably the way this is going to be handled. We need to go somewhere and lick our wounds for awhile.

Please pray for us as we are entering this new season. We have three children whose souls depend on us to make the right choices. It is not just us anymore. We have to keep our children in mind and keep them from being hurt the way that we have been. We are well aware that the changing of seasons is not always the easiest thing to go through, but I know that we will make it through.
