Today was an awesome day at school. For the first time in a long time I felt like my 8th grade bible lesson was Holy Spirit appointed. I was teaching on the letters that Paul wrote to the churches he had planted. 8th grade is currently working through 1 & 2 Thessalonians. I was challenging them to not feel condemned as they read it but rather let conviction lead them to make a change in their lives.
I think that most of them actually got it.
As I wrapped up the day with some grading I headed out to my bi-weekly counseling session. I was barely 2 blocks from the school when a silver Chrysler 300 came across the intersection. There was no stopping fast enough. I hit his passenger side. Through the 911 call, police not wanting to file a report and the overall stress of the moment I found myself feeling alone. I had prayed through the whole thing but more that none of my students would come out to see me there crying or my principal of my school. God gave me such grace to not be angry or irrational but rather to just take the task and get through it. The devil is trying to take me out. Just gotta keep pressing forward. Even if I don't complete the race before it ends, I know that my team wins and that's more than enough motivation to keep pressing on.
