“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18 NIV). ... In fact, it is in your pain that God is closest to you, whether you realize it or not. The Bible says in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (NIV).
Today was a tough day. I found out I had over stepped my boundaries with a student. First he was unmedicated this year because the parents had decided to stop his mediciation.
I fought for it but they refused to give it to him.
Then he had some problems controlling himself and also some fights with another student and often came in mad after having trouble getting along with his siblings.
He did not have shoes for gym so I provided for him.
He did not have breakfast so I provided for him.
He was hit by both parents so I talked to his sister and she told the dad.
I got in trouble for doing these things. I know I overstepped my bounds but mostly it was out of ignorance and compassion for the kid.
I feel for this child, his family and even his abusers and neglectors. But I also want that my job is protected.
The more I process it and think about it I am sad, mad and frustrated because my husband just wants to hurt people and I know that will backfire.
Thanks Lord for being close to me during this time and do what you need to do.
