When I shared some information with a Teacher Friend
She began to panic
I was actually about to panic as well
Until I remembered that the info I was shared
Had been shared before
Last year
The year before that
and the year before that
I had to remind my friend
That what is and what's to come
Ain't nothing new
I had to remind my friend that we had heard the stories before
The requests
The rumblings
The rumors
Ain't nothing new
I also reminded my friend that the Same God who got us through the last school year
The school year before that
and the school year before that
Will be a very present help when we call upon Him this school year
There is no cry, no prayer, no worry
That God has not heard from a teacher
The upcoming local and state assessments
The teacher evaluations
The portfolio preparation
The schedule of school events and field trips squeezed in between mid-March and June
How are we going to manage it all?
How are we going to make it?
I can hear God say in my ear:
"Relax...I've got you"
"This ain't nothing new"
