Challenges

Friends-

I am not going to lie, this year has been harder than I ever imagined. I usually, though not always, can hold back my tears until I get home. But every single day, I just sit down and weep.

My classroom is essentially a disaster. The situations is such that I cannot teach a lesson. It's not just that they are disruptive, though this is often the case. No, I have found that even when they are not talking, they really aren't listening at all. It is as if I am talking to air.

We are three weeks into the school year and I am terrified. I am terrified that I this will continue the entire year and that my children will learn absolutely nothing this year.

I feel like God is so far away. Last year, I knew that He was working in the heart's of my children and my heart every day. I just can't sense that anymore.

As you can see, I could really use prayers. Please pray that God turns our classroom around and that I can see His hands at work.

God of Heaven, be with my sweet, incredible sister. I honestly don't know what to pray except for this: we need You, we need You, we need You. at the end of the day, at the beginning and in the middle. God, give her strength when the battle seems impossible. give her Your eyes, Your ears, Your hands, Your mouth and Your heart. thank you for loving Brittany enough to put her in a place where she is uncomfortable enough to have the need for You, to depend completely on You. thank You Jesus, that You never give up.

I love you Brittany. remember God counts every tear you cry and puts it in His bottle. and He is near because He can't do that unless His hand can touch your face and wipe away those tears and keep your feet from slipping. <3 <3 <3 we don't worship our emotion, we worship a living, powerful, almighty God.

We walk by faith and not by sight... Their Father and yours is faithful to finish the work he has begun. Much love, D
