I have recently had to go to the dentist a lot.  I have not had the best year when it comes to getting cavities, so it has not necessarily been the highlight of the year.  I don’t particularly like going and getting numb, having a bad taste in my mouth (literally), and people stuffing myContinue reading “Life Lessons from the Dentist:”

I just recently finished the book, “Good Boundaries and Goodbyes,” by Lysa Terkeurst.  I loved this book.  I had never thought much about boundaries being something holy and good, but Lysa through the help of her Christian counselor discussed ways that we can even look at boundaries as a holy and good thing for ourselvesContinue reading “Creating Holy Boundaries:”

I like to be busy, and I don’t always appreciate the silence. I am usually at work, at sporting events supporting my students, or enjoying time in hobbies.  I enjoy being with people and listening to them speak. Not to say that I don’t appreciate spending time by myself, but when I am by myselfContinue reading “Beholding God’s Greatness:”

As a teacher, I often see many students who will shift blame to someone else, or even openly deny the wrongdoing.  I find this incredibly frustrating.  I imagine that many others who are either parents or work with a lot of children, can also find this incredibly frustrating and tiring.  (Or those who have adultContinue reading “But I didn’t do it:”

Through my re-reading of the Bible, I am currently reading the book of Proverbs.  I love the book of Proverbs.  I love how simple the pieces of wisdom Proverbs gives readers.  I gain more and more knowledge and wisdom from every read of this book.  A verse that stood out to me recently was ProverbsContinue reading “True Corrections Breeds Righteousness:”

I have started to look at a devotional book from the Daily Grace company about the different hymns that have been created and written to give praise to our great Savior, Jesus Christ.  The hymns, like many of the texts and the psalms, found in the Bible are speaking from the heart and are praiseContinue reading “Such a Glorious Friend:”

There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from the people of the Bible, especially the women in the Bible.  The Bible is filled with complex characters.  If you really want to learn how to write a character in a novel, turn to the Bible.  There is no shying away from the character’sContinue reading “Still a Reason to Praise:”

My life has certainly revolved around running these last few weeks.  I trained hard and completed my half marathon recently, and I have been in a heavy competition season with my cross country team.  We had the conference meet and recently districts.  I am a very happy and proud coach to say that the girlsContinue reading “Run Your Race:”

I work with the cross country team at my school, and this has been an exciting season.  We are having a lot of success.  I love cross country, even when we are not having the most successful season.  However, it has been really good because we are a very small school, and we often doContinue reading “Be Bold:”

I love to run.  I love to put my headphones in my ears and enjoy the atmosphere around me.  I love when the weather is temperate and I can feel the fresh air.  I don’t just love the feeling of running after I finish, but the actual feel of running itself.  I love setting runningContinue reading “The Importance of a Strong Mindset:”
