prayer for today ...

Father God, thank You for Your provision and blessing in my life. I know that You are making a way even when I don’t see a way. Help me to stand strong in You so that I may see the harvest of blessing You have prepared for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

God is Good

This weekend has been a blessing. Three days to rest and to spend time with old friends. I have been sick with a sinus infection for most of it, but goodness I am so thankful for the blessings in my life. I am grateful for my dear friends, my loving family, and the coworkers I grew to know and love at Watkins Mill. I am grateful for this warm spring weather (in the dead of winter) and for being able to stay physically active. I am grateful for losing approximately four pounds and for delicious food. I am grateful for a God who never leaves me nor forsakes me. I am grateful for my job as a teacher. I am grateful for my students, new and old. I am grateful for meeting new people. I am grateful for good music streaming over pandora.com. I am grateful for the positive memories I have of the past five years of my life. I am grateful for the lessons I have learned for the low points in my life and for the mistakes I have made. I am super thankful for my parents and my siblings. I am grateful for living in my own condo ... it's been almost eight months now. I am thankful for being single, independent, strong, and black. I am thankful for waking up to see another day.

I am thankful and grateful for all of my wonderful blessings. <3 Thank You Lord for a Relaxing weekend that has restored my health and my spirits (even though physically, I have been suffering from a nasty sinus infection and a tooth ache.) God is Good all the Time.

What do you think Teachers do?

week from hell

"When someone can walk out of your life, learn how to let them go. They are not tied to you and you deserve better." ♥


not the best week of my life ... i feel like if it has not been one thing, it's been another. closing the chapter of the american hero for once and for all.
