I was called into the office once as a 20-somethin

I was called into the office once as a 20-something special education teacher.⁣
⁣
Disrespectful conduct in the general education classroom with a co-teacher.⁣
⁣
You see, this teacher and I had been teaching together for a while by this point. We were very different, but we made it work . . . until that day.⁣
⁣
That day, this teacher couldn't get past the fact that one of our students had come unprepared. Likely just a bad day, for both teacher and student, but I watched as the 7th grader was publicly embarrassed for not having a required item for class.⁣
⁣
I watched his face. I listened to the criticism. I watched the fists clench.⁣
⁣
I stepped in.⁣
⁣
I positioned myself between the teacher and the student . . . and I handed the student the required item while staring directly into the eyes of the teacher.⁣
⁣
"Back off," my eyes said.⁣
⁣
It worked. But I had made a spectacle in front of students. Well-deserved write-up. I understood.⁣
⁣
That teacher didn't know what I knew.⁣
⁣
That teacher didn't know how many times I had already called Child Protective Services. That teacher didn't know how hard that kid had to fight . . . that he came to my room each morning to wash up . . . that his clean clothes came from my washer . . . that his school supplies were all donated . . . that he couldn't sleep at night because he never knew when he would be awakened by screams . . . that the cupboards with food in his home were padlocked . . .⁣
⁣
That teacher didn't know.⁣
⁣
I stepped in because that kid needed grace.⁣
⁣
Worth the write-up . . . probably should have framed it.⁣
⁣
So as we get back to school, no matter who you are or what your role is with others, remember there is much you don't know.⁣
⁣
About students. About teachers.⁣
⁣
Give grace.⁣
⁣
Happy back-to-school. Thank you, teachers.⁣

I mean... 😜

It's about that time.

It's about that time.

A mama tries so hard not to blink.⁣
⁣
A mama tries so hard not to blink, because she knows just exactly what that blink means . . .⁣
⁣
. . . just a blink.⁣
. . . just a mere breath.⁣
. . . just another beat of her bursting heart.⁣
⁣
But, to a mama, a blink is so much more . . .⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and nights of nursing turn into days of chasing.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and wobbly legs become strong and steady.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and a boisterous home slowly becomes quieter.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and being so incredibly needed gradually fades.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and getting a driver’s license turns into driving away to college.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and playing dress-up becomes the “real” thing on a wedding day.⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and she now fully understands the phrase,⁣
“the days are long, but the years are short.”⁣
⁣
She blinks . . .⁣
. . . and she realizes that never has God created⁣
an experience both so very fleeting and so very enduring than that of motherhood.⁣
⁣
A mama knows she has to blink . . .⁣
. . . she just wishes she didn't have to blink quite so often—because deep within her slowly-breaking heart, she knows—those blinks are just so beautifully bittersweet.⁣
