Regret.
Today, I sent a child to the principal, and I am second guessing myself. He has such a beautiful spirit, but he just would not do his work today. After several warnings, he still sat at his desk with his books closed. I knew his mother, who died of cancer a few years back, and my heart is full for him. I find myself wondering if I am harder on him because I knew his mother. His father is kind of a mess, and I want so badly for this child to succeed. I don’t want to break that beautiful spirit, but I also don’t want him to sell himself short.
I may find him in the morning and talk with him- one on one. Again, my heart is full for him. I don’t know why this is going on the blog. It is just the central focus of my thoughts tonight. I want to be a life-giver to him. I need God to show me how to do that.
