“I sit in Your presence bathed in your peace. Desiring the changed me that ‘can run with the horsemen’. When you choose not to change my situation – change me to ride with the waves. May I develop ‘hinds’ feet’ so I can leap over walls and traverse the difficult terrains of this life. GiveContinue reading “The Change”

What You Don’t See
Many mothers woke up this morning to lots of noise and the sweet sounds of loved ones around. Laughter, hugs, surprise breakfast, phone calls, Amazon deliveries and presents. It’s mommy’s special day and it warms the heart. While we bask in the joys of the day, many sit in pain today. What you don’t seeContinue reading “What You Don’t See”
Triple Threat
Every now and then I’d hear someone say, ‘God has answered all my prayers.’ That has not been my story, but I think I understand what they’re saying.There are things we tend to prioritize in life as important. Having a good career, bills paid, a great family, kids who do ‘right’, someone to do lifeContinue reading “Triple Threat”
That Classroom
I saw this writing prompt awhile back and it made me smile. High school was a whole ‘classroom’ by itself. ‘Describe something you learned in High School’ Many of us from my high school class are still in touch. We attend birthday celebrations, weddings, funerals, and meet up just to meet. My high school wasContinue reading “That Classroom”

Writing Prompt- ‘What Topics do you like to discuss?’ I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t like to talk. We may choose our topics wisely but we love to talk. As we mature, I find my friends and I love to reminisce. Remembering our childhood sins is a great topic – like the one above.Continue reading “Talk to Me”
He Left
Yesterday one of my students came to class for the last time. He was with me for a few months but was now relocating. Truthfully, my heart hurts to see him go. He has been a light in my classroom- funny, insightful, helpful and passionate about learning. We had a ‘see-you’ later party and celebratedContinue reading “He Left”
Where I sit
This morning as I walked towards my classroom a student stopped me with an expression of pure joy. He had passed a test that was very important to him. I celebrated the moment with him and encouraged him to keep pursuing his goals. As I entered my room, I glanced at my chair. Immediately, IContinue reading “Where I sit”
Funny Feelings
I don’t always feel productive. Feelings are funny, unreliable things. They can’t be trusted. Productivity for me can best be measured by the outcomes. However, I get what is being asked. I teach in Adult Education, and I find it just as fulfilling as teaching K-12. Some days when my students have that ah-ah momentContinue reading “Funny Feelings”
I Smile
I’m sitting at my desk with a smile of gratitude on my face. Why? ‘I get paid to do what I was made to do’. What a privilege! It’s such a thing of beauty to watch the jagged edges of your life come together to form an amazing work of art. That’s something worth meditatingContinue reading “I Smile”
