Searching?

Yesterday was not the typical day I normally have - it started out alright, but by 9:30 was definitely headed toward being very rough!!!  It was a Monday and Jim got Logan off to school - usually he gets him up to shower and then I get up to make sure he's "out the door".  Logan has been attending the Skills Center in Spokane and loves it!  He's in the construction crew and they are actually working on an old home up there - trying to fix it up and make it liveable for a family.  Anyway, he has been carrying a knife to school in his coat pocket since he began the program last November.  He uses it at school, has never been asked not to take it to Spokane, and says that its used for opening concrete bags, cutting sheetrock, etc.  Yesterday I was given the call from Mr. Roettger - Logan was in the office with his knife.  He hadn't had it out of his pocket, but guess an adult or student saw it and turned him in.  He hadn't threatened or even intended to harm anyone.  A very hard day!!!!  Logan was given a "emergency expulsion" and came home.  There is a "hearing" tomorrow afternoon and I'm praying it goes well.  Mr. Roettger was only doing what he had to do, but it was hard on Logan.  He is feeling like he is 18 and an adult (we all know that doesn't happen at 18) and that the school didn't need to involve me in the process.  Needless to say, this week hasn't gone well!  Logan worked yesterday in the pouring rain with Monty & Justin and today is doing construction on the new addition at the church with Eric & Denny.  I am hoping by doing some "community service" while he is home will show good intent on his behalf and they will be less harsh on him tomorrow.  It's hard having a child in "trouble" and the possibility of not graduating!!  He's a good kid - just a poor choice on his behalf.  I'm searching for the "good" of all this - I know God has a purpose in it, just difficult to see right now.  Blessings to Logan and to all!
