a simple reminder I came across tonight from the One who created this amazing joy we call life,
"the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
the Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right."
grace: God doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
praise the Lord for his saving grace, that is so beautiful and ethereal is overcomes me at this moment.
Lord I praise you!
You are so good.
You are my everything.
moments of weakness.
redeeming grace.
overwhelming grief.
saving grace.
a nation destroyed.
sovereign grace.
a temple defiled.
merciful grace.
a starving soul.
the beautiful grace of our Lord.
You are all I've got.
You are all I need.
everything you do, be it small or tremendous feats, do it all for the glory of the Lord, our gracious God.
amen.

I'm Back!
after months away from the blogging world, i am very proud to say that i am back! :) so much has happened in the last 3+ months, i don't even know where to begin!
first, let me give my (lame) excuses for why i haven't been blogging...
1) my trusty ol' laptop died (well, kinda) and a couple-hundred dollar repair on something that was 5 years old just didn't make sense. so, after a few paychecks, i now have a brand new iMac! :) and i love it!

2) i had to have my appendix removed. the sunday after one of my best friend's wedding, i woke up with what i thought was a tummy ache. well my "tummy ache" began to ache more and more until i was walking around the house like a lion! after a trip to the er, an ambulance ride and a few doctors later, i had my first apendectomy (sp?) and am now appendix-less! what a way to start my first month of teaching, right?! let me have you know that my substitute plans are dynamite, thanks to my recent experience! :o)
3) school is insane. just when i thought that i got lesson planning down pat (i have to create daily lesson plans for 9 different conent areas), now i have to develop DAILY guided reading plans for EVERY child (remember, i have 43 kindergarteners) EVERYDAY! holy canoli! :o
4) i got engaged! john proposed to me on october 20, 2007 at big meadows lodge, on skyline drive. it was a beautiful day filled with wonderful memories. let the wedding planning begin!
so, as you see, i've been very busy this fall. however, i am so glad to be back into the blogging world! between long days in kindergarten, long nights lesson planning and weekends filled with wedding planning, i know that i will have lots to share. stay tuned! :)
