I Found Out

I call this my weekend musings. The older I get the more I wonder why no one cautioned me or told me about some things in life. Or, maybe they did but I paid no attention at the time.

Sad Eyes

I love this picture. I look so happy and at peace, don’t I? The irony is that this picture was taken during one of the saddest, darkest seasons of my life.

You are omniscient – You always know what lies ahead. ” Some of us are angry at God or may be disappointed with HimContinue reading “Why Didn’t You…?”

Girl Like Me- Confession

I am perfectly flawed. This is my mid-week confession. I don’t do ‘waiting’ very well. At times it smells like ungratefulness mixed with discontent. One moment I think I’ve mastered the art of complete trust in God and in the process. The next – I’m a mess. Maybe you’re a ‘girl like me’ [or aContinue reading “Girl Like Me- Confession”

A Small Cloud

This week I made a joke with one of my students. She didn’t like it and proceeded to tell me so. I apologized. She then left my class. Not one of my finest moments. As I reflected on my response, I smiled. There was a time when I would have been moved from my placeContinue reading “A Small Cloud”
