I feel as though events in this school week have been slowly chipping away at me. I know that worrying about my children doesn't add anything to their lives or mine, but I am feeling so broken-hearted for them. I cried twice tonight because I just kept thinking about how my students think that they way they live will bring them respect, make them an individual, make them feel alive.
They just don't know how precious they are.
The God of the universe imagined them, dreamed them up before they even existed. He made them in His image and He gave them gifts and abilities that make them different from anyone else. He loved them so much that He traded His son's life for theirs.
It seems as though there is nothing that could break through the darkness that surrounds them so that they could know that.
And yet John 1:5 tells us "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
I need God to change my so easily defeated heart to trust in His light and purpose.

Em you can only worry about things in life you can change - people are not one of those things. Its Gods work. He says he wants it, and that he will do it according to his will. You have to trust him in that
