Working in the Reroute room may not always be the most popular job, but I have found it rewarding and encouraging in my own life. For a few days in the past week, I have dealt with a couple students who seem to have a reoccurring issue. When they get upset or flustered about something, they tend to get angry. Many times we talk through their anger and brainstorm ways that they can deal with their anger in a way that doesn’t disrespect or distract others.
I enjoy working in Reroute because you can track the progress of a child and their growth. I am daily praying for these students because I know that their anger may not always be rooted from what happens at the ILC. Their anger may stem from other sources that they may have not let go of. Recently, I was discussing anger with one student. I asked her, “Does being angry help the situation? Does it make you feel better?” She knew that it didn’t.
More and more I am aware of the spiritual warfare we are in. Our human nature and the human nature of these students is to be angry and hold grudges. But because God forgave us and has accepted us for who we are, we can let go of our anger and learn to forgive others. I continue to pray and ask you to join me, that God will continue to soften the hearts of these students. Pray that they will learn how to give their fears, worries and anger over to God, and that they will learn how to love and forgive others the same way God did for them.
