I can do it!

As I roamed the classroom, I wasn't quite sure I can really help these children. I've spent a lot of time with some to get them organized or to reach them where they are academically. The outcome-- still missing things and still continued apathy.

I started wondering about my purpose in the classroom, and then I heard an inner voice whispering, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." All means all, including doing my job as a teacher as best as I can.

It's not easy, but I find comfort in knowing I am not alone. I thank God for giving me the strength to do my job every day.

Free from petty problems

"A man's steps are directed by the Lord." Proverbs 20:24 so well words it. Today I will focus on where He leads me and help out so His glory is shown through my actions and words. I might encounter frustrations with my students or co-workers, but I will keep in mind that these are temporary.
