Some time this month one of my students made a comment to me that once more reaffirmed in my heart why I teach. ‘Leah’ as I’ll call her is an older teen with limited English language skills. We have fun communicating as she learns the language while trying to master other academic subjects too. WithContinue reading “The Way You Make Me Feel”

Why Bother?
Have you ever made a decision to go deep? To make a turnaround – do the right thing? To ‘seek God’ in a new way- to feed your spirit in a fresh way? We aim to do a heart adjustment, only find that things around us start ‘ breaking’ – falling to pieces. The groundContinue reading “Why Bother?”
I Saw Her
A few weeks ago, on my way to a birthday party, a friend of mine called. She asked if we could ride together – we agreed to meet at a convenient point on the route. Truthfully, I was extremely tired and had already planned in my mind that she would drive and I would parkContinue reading “I Saw Her”
One Came Along
This month, October, we celebrated the national heroes in our island nation. The place where I took my first breath. Where my values and strength of character began to take formation. These heroes are those who sacrificed and paved the way for generations like mine. Those whose blood, sweat and tears do not go unnoticed.Continue reading “One Came Along”
I Call Him Father
What we call people is most likely hinged to our connection or relationship with them. I often read or listen to people referring to God in different ways. It is quite possible that we also speak of Him based on how we relate to Him. Because of what I’ve discovered and experienced with God, IContinue reading “I Call Him Father”
Troubled One

It’s good to know there’s One who is never surprised. If we trust Him – His plans are perfect. Trust this: For I knowContinue reading “Troubled One”
Lately
Lately I’ve been missing and I know it. Writing hasn’t been taking up much space at my table these days. To be transparent, I’ve been struggling just to read posts from even some of my of my favorite bloggers. I need time to walk through and navigate this season in a healthy way. Reading andContinue reading “Lately”
Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}
As we have now laid to rest these two amazing souls – their legacy lives on. This past week was not easy as we celebrated the life of a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother sister, friend, aunt, counselor, and confidant. Writing has been hard for me these past two months. Everything here remains true. So, onceContinue reading “Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}”
Stretched
This school year I accepted a challenge to work with some students whose English skills are much lower than my usual group. It wasn’t what I thought it would be and I find myself being stretched. The class has students from different language backgrounds which poses a challenge all by itself. This is not myContinue reading “Stretched”
Front Seat
One of the most beautiful things about being a teacher is getting front row seats to the lives of your students. So often we get to watch this interesting cycle of life continue. We watch them flourish as they blossom into amazing humans. They then are blessed to pour into someone else and the cycleContinue reading “Front Seat”
