Well, my life right now is interesting. This experiment I have been doing on myself is what I thought it would be. HARD! And I am making things harder on myself than they need to be. I got a call from one of the Relief Society instructors in my ward and she asked me to teach on Sunday. "Welcome sisters, to the Allison show. One Sunday full of my musings." It is my fault. I should have said no, but I didn't want to. Humph!
Enough of that, I will let you know how it all goes. I am sure things are going to work out with that part of my life. It is also going to be fun. I really do enjoy being up front and teaching and speaking. So, it will just be another opportunity for me to do it.
Anyway, things with school aren't going well. I found out that some of the kids in my class are doing something that could get me fired if they really wanted to. And it is kind of disheartening/frustrating. I went to the temple yesterday just to get my mind clear and some perspective. And let's just say I got it. The first thing that keeps running through my mind is that some of these boys that are causing the problems are in "leadership" positions in the school. I told our intern principal that I think if they can't be positive leaders in the classroom they have no right to be leaders in the school. And he agreed. The next thing: I was thinking about scriptures and trying to get some inspiration about what I should do and a scripture popped into my head. "Be strong and of good courage, fear not nor be afraid of them. For the Lord thy God he it is that is with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee." (Deut. 31:6) This scripture has been one of my favorites since high school. And as I thought it yesterday I knew I needed to read it. So, I did. When I read it I knew that no matter what. I am where I supposed to be, and doing the things I am supposed to be doing. I will be supported by the Lord and be able to face these things in my life. I just need to "be strong and of good courage." Today was a much better day, at least in the way I handled things. I just need to remember that I can do it and I can handle it.
Tomorrow we have a field trip and Monday there won't be kids at school. And Tuesday these boys are going to be taken care of. We'll see what happens.

I don't like talking in church that much. Good luck with that and your lesson.
