Dear Journal,
I saw this coming and hoped it wouldn't, but alas--
The child, Mr. Moody, has somehow become possessed with the idea that he is going to marry me.
He deeply dislikes it when Firecracker talks to me, and in fact, stormed out of class in a hot, jealous rage today over an altercation that happened between them.
Oh. Dear.
My book doesn't have a chapter about how to handle this one!
It isn't terribly often that I wish to be married-- but at times like this it would be a blessing.
The solution will come in answer to prayer, and I am confident that my Lord has one. (Extra prayers are welcomed!)
My seniors are getting quite talkative! They are beginning to recognize their need for better speaking skills as well, (slowly but surely!) Today we watched several graduation speeches and they REALLY resonated with that, since their culminating speech for the class will be given at their graduation. You could see little light-bulbs going on in their heads. Love those moments!
Oh wow, Beth! This is quite the situation! I will pray for you. :) God has the wisdom to know how to handle it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for those prayers!! They are being answered. He has backed off and not made any more disruptions in class. I don't know if that means its over, but at least its easier to deal with. The up side is that he gets in and does his homework for me, while he's failing all the rest of his classes due to lack of motivation! lol.
DeleteHi Beth! I clicked over here from Araya's blog, and have now read every post! I can resonate with so much, as I am also relatively new to teaching (piano lessons) this year. You're reminding me that Jesus really does have a solution for all those discipline issues that seem so hard for me!
ReplyDeleteHeidi! It's a blessing to think of another going through the same learning curve. Makes it easier somehow. :) I'll be praying for your discipline issues.
