Every once in a while, a student will say, "I've never told anyone this but.." and they proceed to tell me a story that must be painful to tell because it hurts just to hear it. Right in my gut.
Every time I pray, "Lord help me to do the right thing right now. Help me to say something that will be even a tiny bit helpful. Help me to be a blessing in this student's life."
I want to fix it. I want to erase the memories they speak of. I can't.
I can listen. I can try to understand. I can say encouraging words. I can try to make meaning out of the pain. And hope that's enough for now.
