Me too!
Hyundai puts it well. Mischief loves company. And so do I.
As I sit down this morning to start working on lesson plans in a new town, a new house, a new community, for a new school, with a new age group. I don't know what I'm doing. If I could, I'd purchase a mentor or professor to remind me what I've learned in college the past 6 years. Am I competent? Will I succeed? Will this loneliness go away? Will this place ever feel like home? Will I find someone who will join my mischief? These questions scroll around my brain all day.
Not sure if it's coincidence or an answer to prayer, but the chapter I read this morning in 2 Corinthians said:
"Satan has done a good job of pushing you down. He will push you to your knees. And then you'll beg God to remove the pain and grief, but this is what He says:
'My grace is enough;
it's all you need
My strength fills you
when you are weak.'
What a gift. Now you are strong because you are weak. So take it all with good cheer. These things that cut you down - abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. Let Christ take over! Trust Him! The weaker you get, the stronger you become."
When I opened my computer there was a new blog post on Emily Wierenga's Blog and what I read spoke to me again. What a blessing. I'm not alone. There's a whole community of people shouting, Me Too! If only trusting were as simple as breathing.
