I spend soooo much time stressing and thinking about work and my students about things I have absolutely no control over. Answering the questions at the end of the chapter was very therapeutic for me. After writing down my stressors I felt released! I am making slow progress, but any progress is good!Jessileighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912575199487777624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-77098720737796753872013-04-11T16:24:21.420-07:002013-04-11T16:24:21.420-07:00Stella, what is it about we teachers?

I think that Tracie was so right when she said it was about control and staying in the area where we do have control and to trust that all will be well in the other areas. While I'm at a different stage with my children, I can also totally relate to wanting to savour the time with my children - there are so many special times that we can never have back... why would we want to waste that?<br />I'm really looking forward to learning with you!pippasmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386184818117314750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-31757149674256044172013-04-11T16:20:51.092-07:002013-04-11T16:20:51.092-07:00I too am a teacher.

I know first hand the stress of which you speak. <br /><br />I love the line in your blog where you said, "I want to ENJOY my life and not take years off myself with worry." My son just started college this year and my daughter is a junior in high school. I want so badly to slow down and enjoy the time I can with both of them. I realize that it won't be long before they head out into the world to face their own personal stresses. I would like to be a role model for them to focus on the blessings of God and lean on HIM in their times of need. I am hoping that this Bible study helps me to do that.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196135946636558061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637299678197896762.post-11976619241580446342013-04-11T07:12:40.021-07:002013-04-11T07:12:40.021-07:00Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us! ...Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us!
