I still can’t believe I’m called back to Ecclesiastes 1:7…. “God does not give us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-discipline.” I even removed it from the wall paper on my phone, thinking I no longer needed to read it a hundred times a day – and I . . . → Read More: Needs Nothing The Herculean task I’m speaking of is going to Bikram teacher training. First, you need about 20K to attend. That, right there is a Herculean task all it’s own for most of us. Then you have to leave your home and family and practically relocate to a hotel in LA for 9 weeks. Money and . . . → Read More: A Herculean Task I’m reading such a great book that I have to give my review of it before I’m even finished. It’s called “Let It Go” by T.D. Jakes. Many have written to me about my posts indicating they are facing some of the same struggles, so I just have to share this book with you. . . . → Read More: Let It Go A cell holds things. Prisoners, organisms, photo electric energy…. The word “excellence” holds the word “cell”. Each Wednesday a creative writing blogger I follow sends out “word-in-a-word” exercises to challenge us and stimulate creative thinking. . They are stimulating and I usually have fun playing around with them, but this one today hit me . . . → Read More: ExCELLence I still do it. Get up every morning and try to pray my way to a perfect day. Pray my way to a life completely free of struggle, need, and the anxiety it produces. Does it ever work? No. Will it ever work?

When I was teaching I never raised my voice in the classroom unless I did it with intention. It was always preplanned and what I was going to say was well thought out. It comes from a place of love and results in teaching the children something valuable. A teacher raising her voice as an . . . → Read More: With Intention Even on Easter, when God has his own big thing to celebrate today, he continues to care enough about my meager life and place yet another piece of his current theme for my days in my path. So far he's spoken to me on the topic of not giving up through books, music, meditation, and . . . → Read More: Even On Easter My Lucado words of wisdom this morning were: “The God of surprises strikes again. It’s as if he said, “They can’t wait any longer. They came this far to see me; I’m going to drop in on them.” God does that for the faithful. Just when the womb gets too old for babies, Sari gets . . . → Read More: He Still Moves Stones I learned something very important today. I learned the difference between not giving up and not giving up. No, they are not the same. One comes from fear and one comes from love. If you’re not giving up out of fear it: Always feels bad Motivates grasping Seizes control Insists on certainty Needs everything . . . → Read More: Fear or Love? Well, that just about covers it all, doesn’t it? After writing that title I had to laugh at the amazing numbers of categories I had to check for this blog. The combination is a bit weird, but who am I to question when the universe moves and speaks? Sometimes I’m sent a variety of . . . → Read More: Jason Mraz, Bikram, & Mockingjay |
