I am a second grade teacher at a public school in Tennessee. I absolutely love my calling, love my kiddos, love my fellow teachers. Yes, it can be stressful. Yes, it can take a lot out of you. But when people ask me if it's all worth it, most of the time, I can answer with a resounding "Yes! It's so worth it!"
But...there are always "those days". You know, those days when you wake up twenty minutes late, the line for the copy machine is a mile long, you have a million emails to answer, "insert terrible event here". And if you are a teacher, or know a teacher, winter in the South is the worst. We all, students and teachers alike, just need one snow day, but the weather won't cooperate. Well, today was one of those days.
Like many internet-oholics, I like to peruse Pinterest for great ideas in the classroom, delicious recipes to try, and to waste time in general. I have a board where I collect images showing my favorite verses of scripture called "My Faith". On particularly stressful days, looking through this board helps me put things into perspective. This evening, I found a prayer that I had pinned, just knowing that I would need this reminder one day.
Boy, am I #grateful that I did! I really needed this today!
I am so #grateful that God understands me and still loves me, even when I act like a grumpy, negative curmudgeon.
And I'm #grateful for the genius who created Pinterest. 😊
