Teaching Through the Tough Times

Book excerpt: I remember a few years ago when I was complaining about my students to a coworker, who happened to be an ordained minister. As we parted ways, he said, 'I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.' I said, 'Yeah, well, Jesus never had to contend with this place.' Five years later, Emily Harrison knew the truth of her friend's words, understanding that while her job as an educator presented seemingly impossible situations, it was truly offering opportunities to pray and invite God to work in miraculous ways.
