Father God I come to you in the name of Jesus, I confess that intimidation has caused me to stumble. I ask you to forgive me for thinking of myself as inferior, for I am created in your image and I am your workmanship.
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Father God I come back to you. I love you.
Good Morning Lord. All blessing and glory belong to you. I love you, love you, love you. I come back to you Lord. I seek you first God.
The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit-a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you says, the Lord your Redeemer. Isaiah 54:6-8
Lord I seek your voice. I want to hear from you. I want to spend time with you. I want to be in relationship with you. I will take time to learn to hear your voice Lord.
Thank you for yesterday, today and tomorrow. I build on the events of yesterday. I look forward to what will come today and I am excited about my tomorrow. I want to eliminate any walls that separate me from a healthy relationship with you. I have to be like a child and take a risk. A leap of faith with my trust. I want God's love and grace.
I want you to be blessed today and be a blessing to someone special.
Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. I am blessed and Highly favored. I will forever give you praise and honor and glory. Thank you for loving me and I do love you. You are the song in my heart Lord. You are the joy that I speak of when I talk about joy and peace. The apple of my eye. The pep in my step. The reason for me to get up in the morning. I have to please God today. Jesus died for me and The Father sent him to do just that. Thank you Father God for allowing me to serve you. Thank you for your blessings.
My school day was good. There are the usual concerns on a first day but all in all the school is a much better fit than the other ones. I do have a boy who was just released from jail the day before and he has a bullet in his leg which makes it difficult for him to sit and stand for long periods, but other than that all is well. All is well. Just busy busy busy. So much to learn, so much to organize, so many routines to set up for the classroom. Let the students help, get them involved, get to know their names. Get to know and love them. About 60-70 percent are just fine so far, its the other 40-30 percent. I have about 6-8 out of my 34 so far, that are going to be a problem. It doesn't matter. They all will begin to show their individual style soon enough. Some do it earlier than others.Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone special.
Good Morning Lord. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I have been up for an hour now. Going over stuff for today. Father God, grant me peace of mind to be patient and not make rash judgments. Not jump to conclusions, and to be assertive enough. Don't smile 'til December. Guide me as I make my plans. Encourage me to encourage them. God help me to understand who you are and help me to grow with that understanding. Help me to know how you work in this world. Draw me near. Keep me close, never leave me Lord.
I listened to Sunday's service again, this time without a squirming, squiggly baby. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. Love God, love myself, love you. Let me get that order straight. Let me love me. It almost seems selfish, but if I don't love me I wont be any good for anyone else. Practice loving me. I love me, I love me, I love me.
Well tomorrow is the first day of school,,,,again. I am nervous, again.
New children, new school, new everything.
There's so much to do, and so little time. I can never sleep the night before something big. I'm like this the night before church too.
Well good night.
Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
----from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
I looked this up today, I found it again. It continues to challenge me.
Your sermon challenged me.
Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
When you move up to a new level, you have so much more responsibility. I have been so busy, but I thank God that I have a job to be busy about. I was praying so hard about that fact, God needed to bless me with a position this fall that would be a reflection of me. What did he do, give me a science position. I love science. I am so pleased and excited about this position that I am totally engrossed in the entire process of a upper grade science teacher. Thank you God and I truly just want you to know that I am grateful.,I missed you but I was so busy that by the time I made it home I was totally exhausted. I didn't have Internet for two days also this week. We had an animal that bit through the wire out back. I also have to rent the two apartments and I have thirteen people who responded. I have tow good possibilities. I have so much to do and not a spare moment. I need an assistant to write my entries. Someone to respond to you as you have someone to respond to me when I try to contact you. An assistant is so handy.They are able t o handle people and still give them the feeling of being in touch with the real thing, This has been such a strenuous week. I look forward to church tomorrow.
