It’s been a wild couple of weeks. When you think your settled in your job and love what you’re doing. You get changed into a different classroom where you know none of the children. It’s like starting out at the beginning of the new year. New kids and a teacher you’ve never worked with before. Even though the change was hard for the children at first when you love on them and help them they love having you in their class.
There is a person in my school who is hard to get to know. In fact I often hear her tell me that she does things because of her trauma. That stood out to me and I thought about it. I have experienced massive trauma in my life and I’m not minimizing her trauma at all. Not one person who doesn’t know me, would ever know that I even had trauma in my life. I never have ever said oh this is because of my trauma. Maybe it’s because I’ve worked through mine a lot.
Yes I have had trauma in my life but it never defines who I am or what I do in my life. I have chosen to live my life and my trauma made me stronger and who I am today. My heart is massive for people especially those who are hurting.
What trauma has shown me is we know it changes you but the gift God has given me is to see others that have struggles and it sometimes comes out in your daily lives. I have compassion and understanding. I wasn’t always like that in fact this woman reminds me of how I was before I was healed. It just stood out to me what she said. I’ve been praying this woman finds her own peace and hope. ❤️
