Today I don't a good portion of my day in my classroom. I was lesson planning and organizing my room and getting ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow ... tomorrow is the first day of school. I am sure I'll survive it but as a teacher with only one year of experience under my belt I still feel that tight knot curled right below my stomach. You know that feeling when you're about to go down a major drop on a roller coaster... that is what I am experiencing right now.
So, I'm going to try to do the same thing I (and probably most worry worts out there) struggle with... giving it to God and not taking it back. God doesn't need for me to solve all the world's problems or even all my students' problems tomorrow. He just needs me to love them and try my best. Even that he doesn't want me to do alone. I'm suppose to do it all through Christ and let him be my strength.
So I (and you, if there is something weighing heavily on your heart or mind) need to let go and let God. Tonight as I lay down and try to let sleep claim me, I am going to come before the cross because I cannot do this without Him. I am going to pray and let go of my stress and worries about tomorrow and the rest of the year. I encourage you to do the same with anything you are holding onto - let go and let God.
