Just because things are new does not mean they are bad it just means it has been a lot to adjust to.
I have lived in my new city for about a year and I have been working at my new job for about three months. So as you can tell my life has been full of changes.
I want to take a moment to discuss the things I am learning. I work with students now, specifically of the ages of 6 to 9 years old. I often tell them that I want to be a life long learner and so to prove that I am changing this blog to be the things I learn with the hopes that other people can learn from me.
The name of the blog is "Each day is a new day: Grace with accountability". Well these are two phrases I am learning to live by.
I went to a Trauma informed care session at a Professional development day and the speaker said this phrase "Each day is a new day". I have taken that to heart with my interactions with my students. Honestly, I should take this mind set with all the people in my life. It is realizing that the things done yesterday are forgiven and today is a new day. Jesus himself, talks about this concept about not letting the sun set when you are angry. I also just think that the way Jesus would want us to love those around us would be to give them the grace and love each new day regardless of their actions towards us yesterday.
The second part is something I learned from job training. Grace with accountability. What does this mean? This is one I am still processing and running through my mind. I want to give each student grace but also hold them accountable to their actions and the way they treat other people.
This adventure is different and new but I never say no to a good adventure.
