So the other day I was teaching....
My students wanted to know what was next, and why we had to do so much work today, and when it was going to end, and why they had to learn math, and why they had to do spelling, and on and on and on. I am sure many of you can empathize with them.
I was getting so frusterated becuase i thought: "just trust me, i know what you need to have done and when and why, if you trust me that i know (becuase i have the teachers manual) then you could worry so much less and your work would be done and you would be rewareded with knowledge."
I think this is possibly a common plight for teachers. A few days later i was driving back from dance thinking about how i wish i knew if i was making the right desision and how it was going to effect my furture, and if i can truly handle living out in the middle of nowhere by myslef... again. Then i realized that i was excatly the same as my students. I ask God "WHere will i go next? How long do i have to be in this position? Am i putting my 'life' on hold to be here? Will i ever have a family of my own?"
Only to hear God say: "If you trust me you will see the answers to all of that and more and have the reward of heaven. I have the manual to your life, don't forget. All you have to do is trust me"
Suddenly i had a lot more grace towards my students. Thank goodness God's grace far surpasses mine for my students. Just something to think about.
