Dusting off

When everything you do goes wrong, somehow....
When everything the experts tell you to do still doesn't work....
When you wonder if you're here to teach, or just to make sure children behave....

After you've gone home, dug a deep hole in the Psalms and curled up in there for awhile....
After you've decompressed in the bathtub (with ice cream)....
....and had a good cry....

You get up and ask for the strength to do this just one more day, knowing that it's in your own weakness that your Father makes you strong.

oh, Gina, you were blessed with such good teaching skills and I can't help but believe that you are making a difference in "your" kids' lives, even tho there are those days when it doesn't feel like it at all. I, for one, remain very proud of you!
