I am a teacher. I can't spell well or speak correctly. How did I ever become a teacher you ask? Only God. It's a long story. I am an introvert. I think more than I speak. I enjoy being alone, and at home as much as possible. I want to reflect God's love to every person God brings to me. I am married to a wonderful, caring, supportive man. He loves to help others, and is willing to listen and talk to those in need. He loves to garden, and work outside. Cookies are his favorite. We love drinking coffee and eating cookies together. I have a burden for hurting children. I wish all children everywhere, felt love, safety and security, from not only their Heavenly Father, but also from a family that cares more about the needs of their children then their own personal needs. I love looking for small glimpses of God's great love. They are all around us, every day. Have you noticed? Do you know of God's love for you?

Lessons on Trust

Me: These waves look monstrous! There's no way I can out swim this one.
God: Are you looking at the waves? or are you looking at the One who controls the storm?
Me: hmmm good question. My focus is wrong. I need to trust You more. pause... But did you see those waves!!!! They are HUGE. There's no way this will work.
God: So are you saying the waves are bigger than I am?
Me: haha No! that sounds ridiculous!!! ...I guess it does kind of sound like that doesn't it? But it's not true!  You are so MIGHTY and POWERFUL! You are in control, help me trust You more.


20 hours later...


Me: uhm God? Didn't you see the waves? I don't need another one! I'm already drowning! What's going on here??
God: I thought you said You wanted me to help you trust Me more?
Me: I did... but not like this??
God: What, so you want to be in control now?
Me: no...  I'm sorry God, I need You to lead me! I will keep trusting.
