Pura Vida: February 2011
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. Whoa, where did 2010 go? Since it's been a good 10 months since I last blogged, and a lot has gone on in said months, I decided to do a quick little re-cap. I coached HS volleyball and 8th grade bball at Grace Prep. Great kids, fun families, and awesome co-workers! Basically, I love it. I also started teaching Spanish to home school kids, which is easy. I have amazing students :). I'm praying that we have enough kids in each age group to make a league. we'll see Saturday!

Pura Vida: January 2009
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. I think this says something about my desires. I prefer to take the easy way where I'll be comfortable and somewhat know what to expect. I'm trying to keep my mind open to the idea of working at a school other than Martin (my old high school), and I'm praying for clear direction. I'm trying to think of these job possiblilities as a test of my patience and my motives. Monday, January 19, 2009. Pray for strenght, energy and a speedy recovery. Not a good time for a cold. Wednesda...

Pura Vida: November 2009
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. What is something that God has been doing in your life? This is the question a friend asked me the other night. The next night I finished my BSF lesson using the same answer. At fellowship night with my BSF group tonight the discussion turned to the exact thing I had answered twice already. After all that, I figured I should share. Of the world: Find the right person. Fall in love. Be completed by that person. Repeat (because that person can not fully satisfy). I graduated from...

Pura Vida: February 2010
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Have to share this great prayer from Valley of Vision. O Lord of grace,. The world is before me this day,. And I am weak and fearful,. But I look to thee for strength;. If I venture forth alone I stumble and fall,. But on the beloved's arms I am firm as the eternal hills;. If left to the treachery of my heart I shall shame thy name,. But if enlightened, guided upheld by thy Spirit,. I shall bring thee glory. Be thou my arm to support,. My strength to stand, my light to see,.

Pura Vida: Peace on Earth... and in my soul
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2009/12/peace-on-earth-and-in-my-soul.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. Peace on Earth. and in my soul. Christ was born to bring peace. That's what this season is about. Overwhelming, calming peace. So what do I do now? How do I take this reminder and make it a belief? Something that I have such strong faith in that it never again becomes a struggle. Prayer and time spent with God is always the answer. Meditating on God's word and not waiting for the next special church service that awakens my heart and soul again to God's comforting words. I gradua...

Pura Vida: April 2009
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 4, 2009. Trying to have a creative outlet. Send your peace over me. Like David in the face of Goliath. When I feel too small, too weak. Remind me who led me here. Your peace surpasses all understanding. But I don't have to fathom it to feel it. My giant tells me I can't. Then you remind me who can. My faith, my prayers, they don't move mountains. But at your voice they jump into the sea. With you all things are possible. My sling shot like a mighty sword. You are peace, Jehovah-Shalom.

Pura Vida: May 2009
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. I am so blessed! I friend in Louisiana told me that God was truely blessing me for my devotion to Him. I hadn't stopped to think about how blessed I am and thank God for allowing these great things to happen in my life. I'm a little slow getting this into my blog). The dealer said it was totally God. Why hadn't I thought of that? Needless to say I bought it:). I leave with a quote from my BSF lecture:. I'm living out today, learning from my past and looking forward to tomorrow:).

Pura Vida: fog clears in the Light
http://ksmith04.blogspot.com/2010/04/fog-clears-in-light.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Fog clears in the Light. Lying awake there's no peace in my bed. Judgmental voices still linger in my head. Resounding confidence and joy without fear. Are replaced with thoughts that bring me to tears. What if I was wrong? The world makes me doubt. But that is what happens when God is left out. Stirring and wrestling my soul tries to make sense. Of the burning desire that pushed me over the fence. What I know is my Love has not sent me astray. Rather I must depend on my Father.
