Sometimes I feel like I live in a different world...
We've had a series of incidents with middle school kids in the city. One 13 year old was shot while getting off the school bus. And a 15 year old couple was shot and killed just days apart. it is heart breaking thinking about what their friends and families are going through. It is also saddening knowing that this pain and sorrow is a reality for many of my students.
The recent events affecting school age kids have also forced us to have an increased awareness and heightened sense of security. We have practiced lockdown procedures multiple times in the past week. It is while I'm hiding in the closet or behind playground equipment with my students that I yearn for jesus to return. I am thankful and praise God that it has been just practice for us so far and I pray that God continues to protect us.
"The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe."
Proverbs 29:25 (ESV)
