So yesterday was all you would imagine the Monday after day light savings would be. Waking up Monday morning was pretty brutal. I also knew that my teacher's assistant had been hit by a nasty illness over the weekend and so I would be flying solo yesterday. Flying solo a plane that was on fire and filled with wild animals 😆. Have a mentioned that I have a hard class? Please do not misinterpret me saying that. I hope anyone that knows me or has seen me with my class has no doubt that I love those 26 kids. We have a lot of fun and so many moments that bring tears to my eyes as I think about how far we have come, but there are really hard moments. Moments that all I can do is pray that the Lord gives me the right tools to help those kids that need extra attention. Yesterday I had a few students out because strep has been going around again, but the rest of my kiddos were dragging in and one still had his eyes closed as he tried to walk to his seat! Thankful for some awesome parents that brought me some coffee to get through my sleepy day.They were tired and thrown off and even though they were pretty well behaved it was a pretty draining day. Today was a little back to normal. I feel like we are in a the tough part of school where everyone is used to each other. They are arguing more and not being very nice to each other at times and I think we have all reached that point where we are ready for a break. 9 more school days until Spring Break, but who is counting? We have a few days off in the next few weeks for work days and P/T Conference, so we just need to hang on a little more. So maybe this is a weird prayer request, but would you pray for my little class? It's hard keeping 4/5 year olds from saying bathroom words and not offending other kids. It's hard getting 26 four year olds to play nice. It's hard convincing parents that maybe their kid isn't totally innocent when issues arise. I don't want that to sound harsh, but it is always a balance and the events in my own life seem to have me somewhat off balance these days.
Well, I have a very important prayer request. I cannot give all the details, but it goes with a prayer request I mentioned a few weeks ago. A few weeks ago Friday things went well that day and so the next step is happening tomorrow night at 6:50. Please pray for Jeremy. Pray that God will open this door. Pray that if this is not the door that we will not be crushed by the closing of it. We have been here before. It is hard to gets hopes up and then dashed, especially since we are already in a vulnerable state. I want this to work out so much, but I want what God wants more. Please bring my family before the Lord. Please pray for protection from spiritual and emotional attacks (they have increased the last week). Please pray that we never for one minute feel like God has abandoned us. We have already felt so much love from people near and far and we are truly blessed!
