Be Courageous!

Courageous means to face something dangerous or scary without fear! I am reminded that in the Bible Joshua faced terrifying battles and obstacles. I know I have not faced anything half as hard, but I take comfort in knowing that if God can tell Joshua to be Strong and Courageous in all that he faced, then I must be strong and courageous in all that I face. Being scared limits you. How is God suppose to use someone who is too scared to share the gospel or stand up for what she believes in? So I must be Courageous! I want God to use me for His glory, but He can't if I am scared or cowardly. So if its trying new food, refusing to teach something that I don't believe in or sharing God's love; I must proceed courageously!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

It's amazing how well God knows my heart and how I feel, because every time I am having a rough day He sends one or a few first graders over with big hugs!

I couldn't believe it because they are so good for me every time I teach. However, my heart goes out to her because I know that teaching first grade is no easy task  "The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor

Put Your Phone Down!

Recently, I have just been so annoyed by people constantly being on their phones. I have never been so thankful that my father made the rule "no phones at the table."  When you are with your friends or family, you should "be with them." That doesn't mean talking to someone on snapchat or messenger, while you are with them. Just put the phone down and give them your undivided attention. How I feel when someone is on their phone at the dinner table or on a date is that I am not interesting or entertaining enough for them. If my phone is down and we are talking and you pick yours up to reply to a message or snap, what am I suppose to do while you play on your phone? We should all just put our phones down and be at the table talking to our friends or family, instead of sitting at a table just playing on our phones. Funny story: the other night at the night market there was a father and a son walking past me. The father was doing something on his phone, and his son s...
