Thanks so much Megan, you are so right – they might be kids but they can smell BS a mile away

Hey Jenni, I always enjoy reading your posts!! It sounds like you’ll do great with those kiddos!! One thing I’ve learned from working with middle and high schoolers is they can smell bs, so as long as you’re real with them then you’re good to go. They go through so much at that age and always have adults talking AT them that I find if they feel they can relate to you then they tune in a whole lot more. You’ll do great, no worries!!

I hear all these sappy stories how God the Father is pained to see us struggle, fall, scrape our knees and does so because of who He is forging us to be. It’s not the kind of thing I want to hear when I’m in the heat of it. I say to myself, “Thank you for your scripture reference friends, but right now I just need some ont cry with me.” And then I see you, and it pains me to see you struggle, fall, scape your kness and I pray. “Oh, Lord are you sure, it seems like too much for too long.” That’s when I feel Him squeeze my hand, cry with me and says to me, “I know it’s heartbreaking to see her go through this pain now. But I promise you will be so proud of who will emerge.” So today, I can say, “Thank you God for crying with me when shes’s in pain because You KNEW the treasures and a gem would emerge from her heart.” And that my dear one is YOU. Wow! What a blessed, blessed Mom I am to have YOU to bolding go, tackle life and continue to become the wonderful, insightful, compassionate, generous, brave Jenni. And the best part is that belong to ME
