October Daze

So I recently noted that I have not posted since August 1st, and if you saw my blue calender you would understand why. I am enjoying working for the school I am working for, I am learning how to be a yearbook teacher instead of a yearbook doer. The church has been good, just trying to adjust to being involved only in the youth--- and not having anyone around my age. I am juggling pretty well. I got really stressed out when I did not get to be home much at the end of September/ the first few weeks of October. Things are finally starting to settle down/ in. I am finding home in my classroom and in our youth room.

I was told by a co- worker about a week ago, " I wonder where you will be a year from now?" and I jokingly said, " Painting another Noahs Ark mural." She said she was expecting me to fly out of the pre-school into bigger and better things. The whole time I am thinking she is trying to kick me out and she doesnt know what God has planned ( and neither do I). I have tried to stop guessing what God is doing and going to do, He is the GREAT SURPRISER! <3 I am praying for understanding with professors, clarification through my growth as a communicator, and love as I mess up : )

My new goal is to use the Lords Prayer as a basis for a prayer journal. Writing and doodling brings peace in stressful thought processes, and in hopes to better give it all to Him, I am going to try to notate it all.

Until the Next Surprise : )

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

REVIEW: Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher {transparency of blogger} I have worked for preschools and coaching facilities and as a babysitter for most of my life. Sometimes you have an extra coloring sheet laying around while the kids are babysitting ( and sometimes it was on purpose) so you have to sit down with the kids and use the best crayons or color pencils available to color the extra page. Okay, okay, I love to color. There is something therapeutic to coloring.  { review Gratitude} I love all things girly, so the fact that this book came with a flowery firm cover- I was giddy. Then you open up to devotion surrounded with black and white images crying to be colored- I was over the moon. After I read the devotional there is room to journal through my thoughts, taking coloring breaks. I highly reccomend this book for all ages and would b...

love is patient and kind

There is a point in your life when you have to accept that your plan for your family( brothers, sisters, moms and dads) and friends is not your own. I grew up in a family where if I had not accepted their changes, I would not have family and would have grown up sad and alone. I grew up in a family where they did not attend church, so they knew that I was not happy about their changes but I still loved them and prayed for them endlessly. I do not have to agree with people or be uplifted by someone to show them Gods love though loving them. God loves us even when we endlessly try to walk away by sinning. These people may not be doing what God wanted for them but it is not our place to throw it in their faces, once we tell them- we pray for them and keep loving them.
