This past Sunday was July 4th which is, of course, United States Independence day.  (It is also my birthday which I do feel is equally important if not more important!! 😉 Ok.  I’m definitely kidding.) I also live in Storm Lake which is a very small but diverse town in Iowa.  Every year as aContinue reading “Celebrating of independence, culture, and beautiful unity:”

Recently I was listening a bit to the rapper, NF.  I love his music, and when I am in the mood for some deeper raps, his are usually the ones that I listen to.  He has this song that is called, “Therapy Session.”  One of the lyrics in that song goes, “If I wouldn’t sayContinue reading “If I wouldn’t say to your face, I wouldn’t say it in private:”

One of my mom’s favorite quotes that she would really teach to me is “Be the change you want to see in the world,” said by Gandhi.  I do think that this is a powerful quote.  It is very important that we try to change the world in the best way that we can.  WeContinue reading “Highlight the good you want to see in the world:”

As I have been writing my blog, I have tried to be more and more focused on my personal relationship with Jesus and how I can continually work on following my favorite verse of Colossians 3:23.  Again, as a reminder, that verse says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as workingContinue reading “What you wear matters: Ethical Fashion”

Recently I have seen some of my co-workers start to struggle with some things.  This is ranging from them making poor choices that maybe they are not aware will impact them in the future, and I am concerned about them.  Then there were some other co-workers that I have seen struggling with their health.  IContinue reading “What can I do? Pray!”

I have just finished my second year of teaching.  There have been a lot of things that I have learned in my second year of teaching.  I have definitely continued to grow and develop not just as a teacher but really as a person.   It was a very hard year while teaching in aContinue reading “Some of my favorite people call me Miss Post:”

Throughout my time of writing blogs, I have written about a majority if not all of the items that are a part of the fruits of the spirit.  I have definitely talked about love, joy (especially this year), peace, patience (because I struggle), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness.  I have never really talked about self-control. Continue reading “Self-Control:”

Recently I was in need of some inspiration.  There are times where thoughts are flowing out of me when it comes to writing, and then there are other times when I am struggling to write even a sentence.  So I did the one thing that a person should always do when in need of inspiration,Continue reading “Rejoice in Hope:”

I have recently been very confused and feel like I have been led astray.  Anyone ever feel like that?  If you haven’t, good for you.  Maybe you have lived your whole life being willing to go with whatever life throws at you.  I wish that would be me.  I wish that I cared more aboutContinue reading “I don’t know where I am going:”

I would love to say that I am a selfless person, and I spend a lot of time thinking about others, but the truth of the matter is that I am often thinking about myself.  I am often thinking about what I can best do to make myself happy and do the things that IContinue reading “Being Selfless:”
