A Backhanded Compliment

Today I got in trouble for something really stupid.  And later the autism idiot who comes in could find nothing wrong and despite insanity everything went well.  I will take those as compliments.

6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

A Run That Happened in a Strange Way1 Thessalonians 5:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

I1 Thessalonians 5:10 New King James Version (NKJV)

10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

Yesterday I was supposed to run a half.  After I got my shirt and went back to my car to get dry my battery died and my eyes were in  the ignition.  I had to wait for the tow since it would not lock.  I had a choice to make.  Worry or run, praise and pray.  I decided to do the latter.  I ran around the neighborhood, the parking lot and waited almost patiently.  It was a dead battery and I did get it repaired.  I feel bad I seemed to ditch the race but it was a matter out of my hands.  The funny thing was that I did a little over 13.1 miles with all the walking and running around with the tow and the repair.  God knew this was going to happen and I truly believe it was His wink that I got that shirt. 

And a Youth Shall Lead Them

Isaiah 11:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

Last night my husband spoke in youth.   He talked about being a Godly example to people.  Right now I have an opportunity in the midst of some drama to be the change.  It is hard when that person affects you and your reputation.  But eyes are watching.  Thanks to the youth for reminding me of this.

Little Things

Recently my glasses broke.  It was frustrating but it was really amazing how I was able to find a place on site to fix them and that the crack in them was able to be fixed without the cost of a new pair of lenses.  It is really easy to focus on the frustrations of life and forget that God is in the little things too. 


Last Sunday I did a half marathon and at the end I ended up in the medical tent.  I was so sick afterwards and probably I should of been in the hospital. It was not safe for me to drive home but the Lord took care of  me.  I am not sure why it all happened but I am grateful for the medical staff at the race and strangers who took care of  me.


So many times it is the little things God uses.  May I never be blind to that.

Still Dancing

I am still dealing with the dance.  It is interesting to be part of a toxic environment and choose to not be a part of it.  But still do easy to be drawn into it.  But as I dance through the challenges of life I am learning to pause and see the enviornment around me.  A world where I am not the only treated unjustly and how winning is not so important but building others up.  And God is faithful.  He still gives you those to treasure.

The Delicate Dance

Proverbs 3:4

New International Version
Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.


Today I got called into the office.  I had legitminately made a mistake but frustrated because I have tried to do things right and I got called under the carpet.  It kills me because I try to do things right and I still have to stand in the middle. 

Sometimes I just want to be bad.  But the would not please the Lord.

The Reverse Got cha

It was a Friday.  It was the afternoon.  It was the 13th.  It was a full moon.  And someone with authority wanted to check on a teacher without an aide on the things she had written needed to be in the classroom needed to be.  And the kids were special ed with all kinds of behavior issues.  But this teacher had the Lord on her side.  The Lord allowed the kids to be really good and the teacher had everything in place.  I am glad I am that teacher that had the Lord on her side.
