I love You

I had a wonderful day today. My artist came and we worked on our mask project for the eighth graders. It went well today. I just thank God for hearing my prayer, even when I think he might be out back and missed that prayer. Today was a good day. I got a possible job offer too. God loves me. I know that everything is going to be allright. Do myou believe that everything will be alright? All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. I love the Lord.

good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank You Lord for another day. Thank You father God for for letting me know that I have to deal with resentment. I thank you for giving me the grace and peace of mind to stand firm until the process is complete. Help me to let go of bitterness. Thank you for putting people in my path who are willing to work with me and wo will work for your good purpose. My purpose is to finish out this year having compassion for others and the ability to forgive those who have wronged me. I move forward only with your power and strength. I cannot do it by my self. I don't have the strength to do it by myself. With the help of the Holy Spirit I can declare that the blood of  the Lamb has set me free and who the Son sets free is free indeed. I declare that I have overcome bitterness and resentment today and I will walk in my purpose and strength which comes from God.

Have a blessed day today. I Step forward not backward. god has brought me out of a lot of things so I know he can bring me out of this too. Glory be to God.

Good Night

Good Night. I didn't make the rally. I decided to give money instead. I went to the website and donated my available money to the save Darfur campaign. I wanted to do something for them today.  Its thundering right now, it reminds me of your story today about being afraid. Are we afraid of each other? I know that it has been three years since I started this journal and a lot has happened since then. I have Gone through a terrific time of student teaching, then working at a very tough school, only to be let go. After that I found another terrible school and after the second year I am let go. All of the time nothing personal. Each time I pray for the teachers in my position who may not have help. Hundreds of teachers each year are automatically let go and there is hardly a blink of an eye. Every year that I have been in this system hundreds each year have been let go. 2005, there were over fifteen hundred. 2006, over a thousand, and now 2007, over seven hundred. In the past three years, over 2500 teachers, mostly women, have been unemployed by a whim of a principal.  I pray that they find solace and peace in their life. Its a very unnerving thing to find out you have lost your job. The teachers are not given any support and are just told to find a new spot. Most of the time they are able but that is not secure either. I'm sure you know what its like to not know if you will have a job next year, or even next month. But now you are secure with at least another six years. I will have to continue to pray for guidance from God. I'm looking at Bolingbrook, Naperville and Plainfield. Well its late. I have to get ready for tomorrow. I plan to take my days off before I leave too. I have to figure out when I want those things. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I give glory to your name this morning. You have given me the opportunity to get it right again. Thank you for another wonderful, beautiful day. The ability to worship together is a blessing. Better days are coming Lord. I know this and I believe it. t is like a dark cloud has been lifted from me. What was meant to destroy me has given me a sense of freedom. I may hurt on one level because its a rejection and none of us like to be rejected, no matter what the reason, budget cuts or what, but I am leaving a place that was destructive  to who I am and I wont miss that. Father God thank you for your blessings. I will teach with the middle school project that I taught with last summer. I have some really good leads on jobs in my area. I will remain positive and have a good outlook for my future. The possibilities are endless. I know one thing, I will survive. God has something better for me and I pray that I will listen and hear his voice in my life. I stay prayerful. Let God move me to my next position. God will make a way, even when there seems to be no way apparent at the moment. God will make a way.

WE ARE A CHLD OF GOD

Turning Point

Today was a turning point for me. I will not return to this school next year. I have begun to look for positions that are available for me in this area.  I am on a jpb search. Lord please pl`ace me where you want me to be. Today was a pecial day. It was one of theday's when enough is enough.  THANK YOU LORD. I TRUST YOU TO GUIDE ME TO MY NEXT POSITION.

Good Night

We the People. Today was a day of trying to teach the first amendment in everyday life for my students. We got stuck on freedom of speech. Then they wanted to talk about something that hit close to home. Domestic Violence. The horrible tradgedy of the two brothers killed while trying to save their sister from a rapist. These were people their own ages and the events they could relate to. A mother who works the graveyard shift. A boyfriend with a key.  Some of my girls were adament that they knew someone who had been hurt. Boys wanted to talk about who died young that they knew. We have been working on their family tree so that has brought up may memories. I want them to move forward and not backwards. I want them to have hope for their future. I pray for help in standing for the issues for today. We have leaders who are so desperately trying to get our attention and our vote. Can they help the children? We need spirit empowere boldness. Thank God its Friday tomorrow. I have had enough of this week. I pray that tomorrow will be a better day. Be blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone special.
