Wow, this morning I really saw His Light shine. I started the day taking my class up to the roof where we yelled out all of our memory verses. We then had our devotion. We are reading from Mark, to be exact it was Mark 9:14-32. We then spent some time in prayer by ourselves, and then prayed together. I must add that the sun was out strong and clear at this point of the day. That is because the SONLIGHT, was sure shining on and from us this morning.
I felt like I could take on anything. However, within an hour the enemy had robbed, not me but my 4 precious 4th Graders of their joy and light. Which then was taken from me. It was such a battle to get any bit of hope back for them and myself the rest of the day. We also had distraction after distraction. Praise God though, it was only by His Grace that we accomplished anything. We stopped a number of times to pray, and say 'get behind me'. My class is pretty darn aware of things themselves and just another confirmation of what is in my heart.
And to top things off, I saw discouragement from others and even got to see evidence of how strong the enemy is attacking. I want to add that I am not the only one, but there are a handful of us who are feeling the exact same way.
Before I left school I got a chance to talk to another teacher, they were feeling downhearted as well. In our conversation I responded to something they said with the fact that sometimes God had to destroy something in order to build it up for His glory. They asked if I was afraid. My response was 'No, do you remember what happened to Rahab? I know who I belong to and who I am in Him. If the walls come down I know the foundation around me will be standing just like Rahab's.
I ended tonight with Hope. Because I laughed with another and asked 'is that all you got?'
