When my heart breaks for my kids, when I'm up to my eyeballs in planning, when I am unsure about my future, when I miss my friends, when life isn't exactly "just so" - I realize life will never be orderly, that I am blessed to have friends to miss, that the world is at my feet and my future is in His hands, that I have an amazing opportunity to learn more about planning and teaching, and that I although I can't fix my kids' problems, I can give them a safe haven, I can give them prayers, and I can give them love. I can even use commas in excess if I want to even though I'm an English teacher.
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
-David Crowder Band, "How He Loves Us"
