This season of my life has been really trying. I feel really lost, and not on top of things.
The new kids that I have are really a bunch of broken people. I think beyond their "problematic" behaviour, I'm recognising that this is a fallen world, and that these kids behave the way they do because of our fallen nature.
Lord, help me to have a big heart to accommodate them. To love them in a way that will reflect the way you love them. Give me the wisdom to know when to discipline them and how to discipline them. Education is more than just producing the grades. It's about helping them to learn and become better people as a result.
The fact that he is away, on a trip with the rest of them, keeps popping up at the back of my mind. I'm trying hard to not think about it, even though I keep hearing about them in chatgroups, in private conservations.
God, I've said it before. I'm going to say it again. I trust you. I trust you and I trust you.
Tomorrow is THE day. I don't know how they have done, only God knows. I found myself praying for the fact that my classes wouldn't be at the bottom, but then I realise what little faith I have. Haha.
Lord, open the heavens. I know Your favour is upon me. Thank You so much for everything.
