Sprinkle a little cinnamon in the coffee grounds.

thankful
This is one of many notes from my professors...
Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information about yourself and your new-found teaching style! Think of how much you have learned about yourself throughout this process; it is amazing to see so much growth within yourself. I hope you feel empowered to get out there and make a huge difference in childrens' lives by working hard and dedicating yourself to one of the most important professions there is:) I sincerely appreciated working with you over the past 16 weeks and I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season! It was a pleasure working with you:)

That's All Folks!!!!!!!
So--A friend wanted me to say this but all I was doing, was laughing my fool head off. And then she wanted to scream, yet I was just hoping she wouldn't do it in the Church sanctuary. Whew! It all worked out and the few words I heard a million times 'His Grace Is Enough' is true in all circumstances of life.

18 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!
What has the last 18 months brought? Check out the photos:
The last 18 months have been spent doing this:
The Last 3 Months have been spent doing this:
And Today I am doing this:
And in 23 Days, I'll be doing this:
There are not enough words to thank my family for their wonderful support both financially during this time of no income for 3 months. And a huge thankfulness and gratitude for their everlasting support during the time of writing papers weekly, and the stress that goes with school. I am more than grateful for those who have been the light in my life while working on my Master's. I think I could only dream of this day. I am humbled by the love and support of my friends.

The journey
March 2010
(Taken from the blog in Feb.16, 2010. )---Why is it that we always want what we do not have. There is always something as in money, marital status, in our families, friends, anything can make the jealousy strong. I want to love my life, I want to see it as a gift. Sometimes we don't see what lies beneath the snow. There are things unseen because God has a greater plan. We need to trust where we are in life now, and give God the glory. He knows it all---God is at work, we cannot see what He is always doing or His purposes. God's ways may not make sense to me. I'm am praying that I'll have a God-centered life.
---I feel like these changes are hard and I'm not strong enough. I'm scared God. I need to be strong. I need to have more faith. I need to hold on tight, because life is moving faster than I can handle right now. All I can do right now is cry. I feel like I don't know where to turn. The future looks unkown. I've been fighting you God and I no longer want a battle. Hold my hand tight cause I need the strength to keep going.
From Him are all things. He is the source of our existence. To resent or resist my circumstances is to resent God himself. Sometimes my circumstances are not always the best, but I will endure and continue to trust and see his blessings. A true woman lives a God-centred life---for His glory; God centered purpose. A true woman trusts God. He has a plan and His plan will not be voided. A true woman says yes Lord. I wan to live my life intentionally with a purpose to give God all glory.
Today:
Though my class proved to be more than a challenge,I have learned many valuable lessons to teaching. The future holds a whole new journey, and one that I hope that I will live out with greater faith. There are no permanent plans for a teaching job. The APT test will be taken in Feb. and that will tell what the future holds. I'll move when the Spirit leads, and have no expectations of where this goal of a teaching certificate will lead.
