The definition of dormancy in green and white

Woke up from a nap and didn't feel like doing anything.

I have a feeling that today isn't going to be very productive... 

So THAT'S how you do it...

Thank you, Paula Deen!

Morning Playlist

This is a short compilation of warm, fuzzy, folksy, pleasantly effervescent tunes to get you going in the morning.

Happy Thursday!

"This is for you, Teacher."

So one of my kiddos was 10 minutes late to her session today. She showed up with an apple and a big smile. Maybe her mom thought it would be a good way to butter me up. Call me a sucker, but it definitely worked.

I absolutely love my job. It's funny to think how just a little over a month ago I was praying so hard for a job. Any job for that matter! And God blessed me with this tutoring position.

At the end of my third session (long day), one of my little kidlets showed her dad her answer sheet. She was super proud of all the "100%"'s. I thought her dad would give the usual parent response of "Oh, good job." But he stood there for what felt like ages, holding that paper, beaming. He thanked me over and over before I left.

Scarfing down dinner of apple soda (a little gift from a student) and stale cheerios in the car in between sessions in rush hour traffic? Filling out tedious reports and constantly swapping out books and materials?

So worth it.
Thank you God! I always pray before I get to a session. Pray that I'll make it there safely. That my kiddos will do their best. That our sessions will be blessed. And man oh man, are they!

So I'll leave with this funny little moment from today. Evelyn is 7 years old and a complete riot.

Me: "Okay, now read this wo--"
Evelyn: "You're my friend, so I love you. Will you always be our teacher? What if you go to jail? We could bring you flowers and things. AHH but we'd have to go to the jail to get tutoring!! Nooo..."

Lovely Strangers

This has to be one of the most amazing blogs I've seen in a while. To make up for my brief "RAWR, angry-jaded-V-day-hater post", I've decided to put up something beautiful. 

Happy Thursday!

Hey, screw you too Valentine's Day.

Child's Plea

Listen to me.

Talk to me.

Understand me.

Be kind to me.

Stand up to me.

Stand up for me.

Fight for me.

Teach me.

Guide me.

See me.

Hear me.

Love me.

study time

my nerd cardigan. when i put it on, i feel smarter. 

I believe in

the power of prayer.

So tonight,

I'm praying for you.

For me.

For every lost or sick or unloved child.

For every lonely soul with nobody to turn to.

For every person that's going to bed hungry.

For every broken heart that won't be able to get out of bed in the morning.

I'm praying for you.

That you will see His face.
& that He will heal you.
That His spirit will fill you.

That His joy will be your strength!

That His wisdom will guide you.
That He will be the one constant in your life
and that He will be more than enough.

He loves you.

And He hears our cries.

Tonight,

My heart breaks for you.

Goodnight, brothers and sisters.

Here's to a brighter tomorrow.
