real life fairytale: we all want to be masters
http://reallifefairytale1988.blogspot.com/2015/04/we-all-want-to-be-masters.html
Words to Live By. We all want to be masters. ANNOUNCEMENT #1: I'm not teaching next year. Literature buffs would say, "The best laid plans of mice and men." (thanks, Robert Burns). Spiritual counselors would say, "Take no thought for tomorrow" (Matthew 5:34) and "God knows the plan He has for you to bring Him glory" (Jeremiah 29:11). I think Jesus just smiled, wrapped me in His arms, and whispered, "Trust me. Take a leap of faith.". You want to know the most amazing thing about all of this? I should be p...

Words to Live By. My Jesus, Fair. Do you ever despise yourself? I mean, complete and utter disgust with something that you did or didn't do. A regret that seems to haunt your waking and sleeping moments? For me, these moments of despicable agony are often centered around spiritual failure. How could I fail my God. Have you ever been there? My Jesus, Fair. Chris Anderson and Greg Habegger. My Jesus, fair, was pierced by thorns. By thorns grown from the fall. Thus He who gave the curse was torn. The Father...

Words to Live By. Yesterday morning I intended to serenade my junior high girls' Sunday School class with my miserable excuse of chording talent. I've practiced two or three songs all summer until I felt fairly confident I could accompany the girls' singing. Nothing to terrifying:. I'll Say Yes, Lord, Yes. I Want to Do Thy Will. You know, songs we've sung as a class for months. For twenty minutes I struggled to tune my guitar. Don't let this break." It didn't. My G string did. My heart stoppe...My mother...

Words to Live By. His Eye Is on the Sparrow. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Tonight we celebrated my grandmother's life. The once empty chairs were filled with people sharing stories about Grandma Gina. In her nearly 75 years of life, my grandmother impacted so many people for Christ! Then, the service began. With shaking, sweaty h...

real life fairytale: this crazy thing called life
http://reallifefairytale1988.blogspot.com/2015/04/this-crazy-thing-called-life.html
Words to Live By. This crazy thing called life. Wow To say, "it's been a while" would be rather an understatement. Knowing that I have only a few readers (or none at all) let me do a quick summary of my life since the fall of 2013. January 2014- I directed my absolute favorite Shakespearean play, Twelfth Night. My students did a fabulous job performing. So proud of them. March 2014- started writing my own theatrical adaptation to The Wizard of Oz. Called No Place Like Home. May 2014- Senior Trip: Take 2!

Words to Live By. As a language arts teacher I am constantly encouraging my students to look for inspiration in the world around them. Of course, my pubescent students generally respond to my enthusiastic encouragements with blank stares, but, nonetheless, I encourage them to be inspired. So where does inspiration come from? As a lover of language and the arts, my immediate response is EVERYWHERE! I will never forget 9-11-01. Why did the whole room feel so sombre? America had been attacked. Today, I pray...

real life fairytale: They Said It
http://reallifefairytale1988.blogspot.com/p/they-said-it.html
Words to Live By. I love collecting quotes, don't you? The only problem is I usually write witty quotes I'd like to remember down on scrap pieces of paper. Pointless habit, don't you think? Since I love sharing things with you and because this is a place where I store my thoughts, I hope you enjoy reading everything that "they" said. These guys are famous for saying things we quote all the time! Coincedence are litte miracles where God chooses to remain anonymous. To All My Dear Children, 1687. Your atti...

Words to Live By. Personal devotions have always been a struggle for me. Each time I pull out my Bible, my mind races with excuses: I lack focus. I fail. I dont know what to study. Im tired. I become enslaved by the daunting task that seems impossible to me. And it is. How can I, a sinful, depraved being, possible hope for a vibrant, intimate relationship with God? On my own, I cant. This week I had the wonderful opportunity to guest-post on a friend's blog. Noah's blog, The Student Center. Believe it or...
