I know that God has me where He wants me. There is no doubt in my mind that His hand was at work when he called me to teach at a small private Christian school in my area. However, the past few weeks have been frustrating for me. This is my second year at the school and it has been by far the most difficult one yet. Many changes have taken place in our classroom and it's been a hard adjustment period for me. So I left school yesterday feeling frustrated, yet again. And then some thoughts hit me. What if I'm expecting too much from my students? Do I really expect them to be perfect and obey me ALL the time? Because I'm not perfect and I certainly don't always exhibit obedience myself! And then I thought, "My Father must feel this way about me! How many times does He get frustrated with me when I fail to show perfectionism and obedience?"
Needless to say, these thoughts really sobered me and caused me to think about my life. I know I have a long way to go in both my role as teacher and in my role as student, taught by my Heavenly Father, the best teacher there ever was. I desire to show as much grace, love, and forgiveness to my students as Christ has shown to me. I cannot ask for anything more.
