22:10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out; Yea, strife and ignominy will cease.
Wow, what a way to end a week.....I love these kids, but they can surely be a handful. I pray that more prayers are coming our way. We have had fights over rumors, threats, and all kinds of ugliness and we need to establish a sense of pride and unity in our school. We are multicultural, but we do not seem to have much of a race problem, but we do have alliances with kids who thing they are gangsters and this silliness needs to stop. The creepy part of it all is that these students parents will defend their wrongdoing to keep them out of trouble when they should let the child suffer the natural consequense for their actions. I beleive that natural consequence is the best teacher.
I have extra children living in my home and one of them is not being very nice where I am concerned. He doesn't like the rules at his house so he has moved in with us and now he has decided he doesn't like the rules in our house so he has been talking smack about me at school and at home (the school I work in). I don't think he does it to my husband, but they all know that I am the one who enforces the rules. I feel that consistency is important, learning to take care of responsibilities is important, and I think he just feel that I am being mean and unreasonable. All they do (4 of them) is share folding laundry, (I wash all of it), load the dishes in the dishwasher, wiping down the kitchen counters, and picking up their room and their bathroom (and I am not picky) and the one is acting as if I am forcing him into hard labor. He turned 18 last month and has never had a job, which I told him was required, and he has made little effort. I think he is going to have to move. I hate to do that, but I am not going to tolerate his disrespect any longer.
I know God will lead me to do what is right, and this kid has a family so it's not like he would be out on the streets, he just doesn't like their rules either, which are probably similar to mine. He has also told lies to them about us and I need to confront this head on, with the support of my family. Please pray for direction for me.
At school, I am stressed. I love what I do but I am getting behind on my paperwork since I have been dealing with discipline problems all week. I have an amazingly supportive family which helps a lot, so I am very greatful. I just need to hang in there and continue to do what I know is right.
If you are also needing prayer, please let me know so I can pray for you as well.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 |
