Your time with me to change my life, I have had too with students. Some scary moments that I didn't know if I could be faithful but I trusted and amazing things, miracles really, transpired before my eyes. I will be forever grateful to God for you doing the hard work!!

I still try to hide it often. But I feel all the good things---love, joy, hope---and all of what we call 'bad' things----sorrow, discouragement, and hurt, in immense degrees. I finally decided maybe God hasn't removed that trait from me because I might have gotten it from him.WhatThisGirlLearnshttp://whatthisgirllearns.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14429087.post-52935536872059838082013-12-18T23:34:10.454-06:002013-12-18T23:34:10.454-06:00"Because Iām stuck in circumstances beyond my..."Because Iām stuck in circumstances beyond my control.

Bravo for you in honoring the validity of your own answers and the journey you've had to experience to find them. And bravo for giving this child in your care the gift of discovering his own strength.
