Prayer

First I have to share the exciting news that my cousin just had her baby yesterday (2/17) at 2:17am. Tatum weighed 7lb 8 oz and was 20 inches long. She is so cute, I can't wait to hold her.
Second, today's post is me asking for prayer. I have been struggling a little more this semester with teaching. Students are starting to not turn things in and are very on edge. For me none of the things they do make sense because when I was in school I wanted to turn my work in and make good grades, but they don't seem to want to do that and it really frustrates me. So pray that God gives me patients with these students and that I will not give up on them because I don't want to ever give up on a student. They all need someone to believe in them. They have also been on edge a little more lately. They are starting to act up and talk back, which if you grew up in the Boucher house talking back was something that landed you in your room with a tender behind. They just don't have the respect for others or themselves that they need to have. One other thing that has been hard for me lately too is living 5 hours from home. I am super close to my family (especially my mom who has been my best friend since Jr. High) and not getting to see them has really been wearing on me. However, I feel like God is also teaching me to depend on him a little more since I know in my rough times I usually turn to my family. So just pray for that strength and for me as my relationship continues to strengthen with Christ. I just needed to ask for some help and the church is where you go for that so please pray. And if I can ever pray for you in any way please let me know. Remember "9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
