last week was a hard monday morning. monday mornings are hard in general, but this one was particularly difficult. upon arriving at school they did an all-call for faculty and staff. it's never good news when everyone is requested to meet in the library before school. we expected bad news, but not that bad. last monday, we lost a dear mentor, teacher and friend. our vice principal, dennis bacon, passed away.
this week was just a rough one. every day was filled with another disappointment. not necessarily my own, but a disappointment nonetheless. death, struggles with infertility, family problems, illnesses, heartbreak. for some reason this week it was so apparent.
and yet, the happiness was so apparent too. the peace, the hope, the faith, the love. maybe that's just the way this road of life goes.
"be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last."
[hymn 124]
