Let’s face it. Our jobs are hard. Emotionally hard. Most of us work with students with low-socioeconomic status, broken families, and problems we have never experienced. Thinking about what our students do after they leave the safe walls of our school is troubling. Do they have a hot meal? Are they getting proper hygiene? What if they don’t even have a bed to sleep on? Ugh. These thoughts always cross my mind. This keeps me up at night.
Constantly thinking that I’m not good enough. I don’t have enough experience or expertise in a certain area. I didn’t take that stack of paperwork home so now I am overwhelmed and frazzled. My day is crazy busy, as I’m sure yours is too. This keeps me up at night.
Am I doing enough? Am I enough? Am I really trying my best? This keeps me up at night.
I am reminded by these bible verses that I Am Enough.
Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Have a wonderful and peaceful week!!
Love this reminder, Lacee. Good post!
