He continued to tap repeadetly on her desk, then shoulder, then moving in pass her comfort zone on her body; as she moved and verbally tried to get him to stop, he would rewrap himself around her for more taunting. Her brown eyes looked toward the teacher and asked again if she could go to the bathroom, for she just wanted a break. In her long dress and professional format, the teacher said, "no". Again the student rebuttled with her plea of being moved to a new desk and gently stated the reason. Non-professionally, the teacher scolded the child and told her in her tone and audibly to, deal with it.
Bro. Todd posted a blog about people not being our enemies...it is so true!
http://www.mychurch.org/blog/246961/People-Are-Not-Your-Enemy
People will come on even a Christian web site and do things to hurt us, sometimes it is unknowing...sometimes it may be due to anger, depression, fear, pain, wanting some control in their lives, a recent death. Maybe life has just handed them one problem after another and they can not tolerate problems for whatever reason....maybe they have just been worn out from life.
May we always handle everything and every person in love, agape love. Boundaries are necessary and should be implemented; however any contact by either party that is hostile or mean is not a God thing.
We are all growing, I am the chief of sinners, may I never approach anything with a plank in my eye, only by humble Holy Spirit guidance do I try to walk...thank you Father for the strength today to 'handle' the situation this morning.
10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 10:4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are `these': fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 5:21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
6:13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
10:24 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting `one another'; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.
1:7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Oh Cheryl....I am praying for that precious girl. I know all too well about bullies in school and the un-professional teachers. The very reason I homeschool my boys! When administration won't step up...then I, as a parent have to.
Yes Mike...they are.......STINKY! |

| Bullies are the ones who are really insecure and full of fear. I have talked with my granddaughter over and over about this......I explained to her if she doesn't give them their fulfillment in showing fear of them, they move on to someone else....the more she feeds them, they stay. |

| For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (physical) in nature but are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds. When we are bullied whether it is physical or spiritual, emotional, sexual, verbal etc... just remember to pray and call on the Lord for protection. From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord. Scripture encourages us to not let us be overcome with evil, but to overcome it with good. It is hard when we are pressed on every side, but we must remember that God is always with us, and make a way for us. Ask for wisdom Jas 1:5 God will tell us the how to s and what not to s . Be strong in the Lord Cheryl and you daughter too. |

A lot of times boys that hit girls at least in grade school, is because they have a crush on them.
it doesn't aways apply, there are lot of bully's in the world... people who love to inflicted pain on people. but As brother Todd said the day before in his blog. we aren't fighting flesh and blood.
We need to pray for our enemies, and put our trust in God... I will keep praying for your daughter... but remember she is stronger then you think; she is a part of you, and you are a good role model. I read this blog on Greg Laurie site . the name of it is to be thankful in everything.
http://www.mychurch.org/blog/246684/Thankful-in-Everything it's a story about Corrie Ten Boom
when she was in the concentration camp... and her sister told to give thanks for the lice they had.. I guess they where loaded... anyway the guards would not go in there because of it, and therefore they were able to keep their bibles.... Maybe through this bullying... your daughter is going to show this boy Gods glory.... we hate for our children to be hurt in anyway,.. but the fact is they will be hurt, and if we give them to God, and trust Him... they will be alright, by the grace of God and His mercy. you're an awesome mother Cheryl trust God and trust that.... God bless.
and I will be praying for this matter to end ... great Post |

| The demons are always bullying us and we bully ourselves sometimes. We need to rebuke the things of the devil and walk in the way of God (I need to do this). |

Great Post! (I challenge you on the cheif of sinners though LOL)
I will say that I spent many years married to a "bully" and it almost cost me my life on several occasions - Bully's take on many forms and can cause a lot of damage physically and mentally but God's MERCY, GRACE, STREANGTH, and NEVER ENDING LOVE for us has already won any battle we may face- there is no limit to what God can do! His power is stronger than any bully in this realm on earth and beyond! If you are covered with blood on the inside or the outside- Jesus has blood with power that is already poured. In that alone we get to stand up in praise and fall in humbleness for we are truly blessed to serve such a mighty King! |

| I have been bullied myself to many times before and this one spoke so true to my heart that I cried a bit. I guess that we shall see if there can be a light shining down unto this world or not. I hate bullies, but at the same time feel sorry for them at the same time for they don't have nothing better to do but to bully others, yeesh. |

So true lady, most of them are hurting or life has been unfair to them also. Even though it is not okay to do these things we can love abundantly through the agape love Christ has given to us. |
