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?

Prayer

    I've been thinking a lot about prayer. God has been speaking and prompting me to pray more. He's been showing me, that NOTHING is too little to pray about, and as I wash the dishes I pray for the little things in life. God delights in answering. But more then that, it changes, and deepens, my relationship with Him. It inspires me to praise Him for ALL that He IS doing! Cause God is working, in HUGE ways, through little things. Prayer is powerful!


"There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, 
of Abraham pleading for Sodom, 
Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, 
Moses standing in the breach, 
Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, 
David heartbroken with remorse and grief, 
Jesus in sweat of blood. 
Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. 
Such prayer prevails. 
It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. 
It brings power.
 It brings fire. 
It brings rain. 
It brings life. 
It brings God." 
Samuel Chadwick
