Change

It is so cool how God uses other people to bless you. I have this one student who is in a gang here in Levelland. He acts all tough and has been in and out of ISS this year. Usually one of those kids that teachers give up on and let them just sit in the back of the classroom and do nothing just so they don't distract the other students. Well I was grading papers last night and not only is this student not missing any papers for the first time this year but he made three 100s out of the four papers I graded. How cool is that. It is a total 180 for this kid. He is trying everyday in class and when we do notes he now answers the questions along with everyone else. He has so much potential just is running with the wrong crowd. The coolest part of the whole thing is that with the grade he is probably going to end up making for this six weeks he will end up passing for the semester. And he was one I was afraid I might have again next year(not that he would be bad to have in class I just want to see each of my students succeed) It is stories like his that gives me hope for the other students in my class room. Also it is really cool to see how he has already started to change into this kid who wants something more for himself and is now working out to get that. So I want to ask that you pray for each of my students that are struggling with direction in their lives that they will want something more, something great out of life and will not let others take those dreams from them. Praise God for the one and hope for many more!!!
