Good Morning My Love

 I love that you are addressing trauma in the neighborhood and around the state. How traumatic it must be for children to now think when I step outside my school I could be shot. When I'm in school I could be shot. When I'm in my own home, I could be shot. Sitting in a car. Shot. Walking down the street. Shot. 

This is too much for them to handle.

"When a child of God is under attack we have to fight with the word."

Phipippians 3:10

Matthew 16:24

"You have to have the word in you to come through sufferings"

Those are quotes you said. I'm going through my old bible study notes to renew my strength daily. That would be a good book to have. Your bible study teachings. We are worried in Aurora about school shooters, employees have to worry about someone being disgruntled and shooting up the place. You know we have active shooter videos at work on what to do if something like that were to happen. Its trauma everywhere, but the schools seem to be a big target along with young children. 

We fight with counseling and reassurances that they are safe, we fight with police catching the bad guys and charging them  for their crimes. We fight with the armor of God. What we don't do is not fight. Not care, not think there is nothing to be done.

Keep you head up and know that you are an overcomer. You may not win the war, but you can and will  win a battle. Stay sharp and close. Keep reminding your self that you are needed and wanted. Without you none of this would be happening, I'm going to Champaign tomorrow so I'm going to the 5pm today. I know I will miss you but I will at least be in your building. Much love to you my dear. Hopefully you haven't replaced me with someone else. Do better today than you did yesterday. I love you.
