Recently, I was reading a book called, Scars and Stilettos, which is a memoir written by Harmony Dust.  I highly recommend this book, and I will give a brief synopsis of what this book is about.  However, I do believe that you should definitely read this book for yourself, so you can get her storyContinue reading “Not the Real Nectar:”

I have noticed the last few years that the month of January is one of the hardest months for me and includes some of my hardest moments.  My first year of teaching included my worst teaching and behavior issues plus my worst interaction with a parent.  Then last January, I had a lot of problemsContinue reading “The abyss of January:”

One of the books that I have loved the most is, “The 5 love languages,” by Gary Chapman.  I have loved this book because it taught me that people don’t always think like me (what a concept) and then to go along with that, people do not love the same as me.  If you areContinue reading “The importance of Love Languages:”

So what exactly is toxic positivity?  Toxic positivity is when people expect others to be so positive that they can’t express emotions other than ones of joy,Continue reading “Toxic Positivity:”

This is the end of the year 2021.  All in all, this was a year that had a lot of highs and lows personally.  2020 was incredibly hard as it was the year of the lockdown from Covid, not being able to run regular school classes and a summer program, as well as the lossContinue reading “Reflection of 2021:”

Recently I was looking at verses of the day.  The verse of the day as of recently was Psalm 119:18, which says,“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”  The Lord has a law that is gracious, loving, and provides us with a great amount of freedom.  However, we often asContinue reading “In your wonderful law:”

If you know me, you know one of my all-time favorite worship or Christian songs is “Sparrows,” by Cory Asbury.  This is a good reminder in a song that the Lord takes good care of us and that he always loves us.  We have the opportunity to live with the Lord forever in this worldContinue reading “A heart that’s planted in forgiveness, doesn’t dwell in the past:”
