My blog today will be short and sweet, hopefully.
Once again, certain people in my life bring more drama then I know what to do with and I'm tired of it. Literally. I was so emotionally drained by the time I laid my head on my pillow last night, I don't remember "pillow" talk time with my husband. How grateful I am to have a husband like I do! Who goes before the Lord on my behalf when I can't even speak another word. For three days straight I have had such peaceful rest. It has been bliss, considering what my days have been like. Thank you, Lord.
Yesterday in my first period class, I literally was overcome with tears and emotion that, at one point, I could not even teach. I had another teacher cover my class so that I could run to the bathroom. My poor kids were looking at me clueless and helpless. They kept asking, "Mrs. Sheneman are you ok?" "Are you sad because you are selling Nala?" Kids are absolutely a blessing from the Lord even after they enter 6th grade! ;) On a side note, our memory verse for this week is James 1:1-2 "...consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. 3) because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4) Perserverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Another one of God's daily provisions for my life! Oh, how grateful I am to have Him as my constant.
In the midst of all this "stuff," I'm choosing to find rest. I pray that in the midst of this day, in your situation, and in your trial that you would also find rest.
Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
Matthew 11:28, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
