Walls, Floors and Ceilings

Logan got in trouble at school yesterday... Not anything really big I guess... but boy did it send me into a whirl wind of panic! Thing is I realized after Judy looked at me and stated, "It's not about you." that I didn't need to be in the panic I was in. Here was Logan in trouble at school, and the first thoughts went to the trouble I had with the school for Lance and with my drinking, I didn't set such a great example as a mother... And what would they think of me now? Yeah, it wasn't about me, but I sure made it that way. All I could think about was how was I going to face the school... I popped out of gear and instantly went back to my 'old life' and my old way of thinking... How quickly I forgot what God has done for me... And first off, Logan is different than Lance.... Home life is different now than before... I am different than before... And futher more... I am not even really sure what they do think of me... and even if they think what I thought they thought of me, what does it really matter... I am not who I used to be...and truth be known, I am not even what I thought they thought I was.... Did you get all that? LOL!
So lets get back to what it is really all about... Logan... He is a normal teenager.... he has moments of not thinking (O.K. so you don't have to be a teenager for that)... yesterday was one of those moments... hanging with his buddies.... nothing to do... mind racing.... stupid ideas (I think at this point he may have thought that it may not be such a good idea and he may get into some trouble, but he dismissed it)... they decide to have some one go up in the ceiling and bang on the pipes to scare everybody... guess who volunteers... yep, Logan went through the ceiling... I had to ask the teacher 3 times... He did what?... He was where?... Are you sure it was Logan?... Yep, Logan...
He is going to have to serve detention, and it will go in his file...  But I don't even think I have to meet with the school... And if I do, I know God is with me and I am not who I was!
But I have come to this advice... For us both.... And for yourself if you need it....
When your back is against the wall, stand firmly on the floor, and what ever you do don't go through the ceiling!!
"Use every piece of God's armor  to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that  after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness." Ephesians 6:13-14
