Month: February 2009

I’m sure we are all ready for spring  It is great that we don’t have to live with eternal winter.  But that can also be said about life in general.  We go through the rough times, but “spring” is coming.  Often we can not see it in the distance, but we hold on to the promises from God and we will see the “spring”.
So we struggle through the winter of our trials.  My prayers are with each of you.  May you have a great week.

It is Monday again, and yes I missed a week.  I have been very busy implementing the new reading program.  The students seem to be enjoying it, and that is half the battle.

I chose this poster because sometimes it so easy to get caught up with the idea that we need something to make us happy.  I see this with my students especially, but adults are not immune!  I sometimes start dreaming about what could be, if I just had the money to buy it.  I really need to spend more time using what I already have.

This last week I added a library to my classroom.  I thought there was no chance unless I got more room, but with a little creativity, I now have a library are that the students love.

I also find that if I will just turn my “problems” over to Christ, the solutions are ingenious.  So this week I plan, with Christ’s help, to create many bouquets of happiness.  I hope it’s contagious!

It seems hard to believe it is February.  I shouldn’t rub it in to those not living here on the Central Coast, but our weather is fabulous.  It makes school so much more pleasant when the students can enjoy the out of doors.

I have always enjoyed Psalms.  It is comforting to know that God loves us so much.  I just need to make sure that I remember to let God be my shield instead of trying to be his.  Sounds crazy, but I think we all do that at times.  We want explanations to everything so that our God will be logical, instead of letting Him take care of things.

I showed my students a video about the greatness of God.  They were showing the sizes of some of the stars that God has breathed into existence.  Makes you stop and think about how great He is.  I think maybe I had just better wear the feathers and let God take care of the rest.
