Like really, I don't. I have somewhere between 200-300 pages of student writing to grade (HOW DID I DO THAT TO MYSELF) and 700-800 images to process when I get home, and students to give the stink eye to all day (it's reading day. They get to read all class period. YOU'RE WELCOME, KIDS. Seriously. Best day ever.). But I have to say this.
The LORD is faithful.
I had the most terrible day, professionally, on Monday. I completely broke down and lost it. Not in front of kids, but I'm not sure that really matters. Anyways. I terrified myself by how broken I felt.
I learned a few things out of this week:
1) I have the unquestionable blessing of having Godly administration who build me up both professionally and spiritually.
2) I DO NOT HAVE TO BE STRONG EVERY DAY. Or any day. Because I do not have enough. Ever. Period.
3) The Lord is my strength, and the second, the SECOND I give myself and my students to Him, I can feel his laughter and amusement at my selfish, self-destructive pride. And He gives me peace.
It has been the most terribly awful wonderful eye-opening perfect week.
Bonus: Jenny graduates in 24 hours. That girl will move mountains.
k love you bye.
