Long Time Coming

It seems impossible that I'm still wrestling with the issues of my friend who always seems to be teetering on the precipice of the world of the married. I don't know how many times in the course of the past few months she's had to utter the words divorce. I still don't feel like there is closure in her life; therefore as her friend, I listen to her struggle...over and over. What happens when a really unhealthy person clings to what he knows is a good thing, yet makes his wife's life nearly unbearable. This is when it is hard to see God's hand. I know that his timing and provision is perfect, and I know that his big picture is so much larger than I could ever imagine. It's just hard to see what good can grow from a still broken marriage that only one person is willing to try to fix.

On a personal note, as I look over the blog entries of May of 2007 when I did not get a job as an assistant principal, one year five months later, I have been an assistant principal since July 1. I absolutely love what I do. It is challenging and frustrating and fun and maddening and joyful all at the same time. I love getting up and going to school in the morning, even if I set my alarm for 5 a.m. I feel like I am making a difference in education. I am learning many new things everday.
