Hello fellow educators! This is a short post to keep you informed and not wondering- when is the next post? And, I did get the messages asking for the next post :). Thank:you for stopping by. It has been a very hectic last couple of weeks closing out projects and getting ready for 2017! Those of you that know me well know that the past three years have been a journey in various technical writing assignments. The experiences have been worth the journey, learning and growth. Moreso, because of the privilege to work with some of the amazing passionate people anyone could ever ask for. Iron truly does sharpen iron. It feels extremely great to finish well! Among other things, our ladies bible study finished for 2016 this week. It has been an overarching experience as we have grown together, enjoyed the presence of God and each other. Also, my students at the local college completed their semester in learning English yesterday. With students ranging in age from 20 to 65 years old and 11 different countries (Mexico, Congo, Egypt, Venezuela, Honduras, Ivory Coast, Columbia, Uruguay, Guatemala, Sudan and Vietnam) it has felt like a United Nations forum each class time. More than my students realize, all twenty-one of them enriched my world with their tenacity, perspectives and goals. I am confident in their future success with the kind of tenacity they possess.
With new horizons in 2017, my posts here will be once a month. Every opportunity requires good stewardship for maximum obedience and outcomes. I hope to continue to see many of you through various events locally and nationally. I believe in you! I believe in your capacity to make a difference in your students’ lives! I believe in your call and assignment! I believe in the gifts you selflessly share daily with your students and colleagues. I believe in those action-oriented goals you have set for 2017! Remember you will always have a tribe of valiant educators who believe in you; irrespective of the challenges.
So as we prepare for the Christmas break, be mindful not to major in the minor. Rather, major in the major- be intentional about your time. Enjoy much needed time with family and friends. The privilege of making memories with our loved ones should be cultivated and thoroughly enjoyed. Be the present to your loved ones and be fully present with them. Following in our family tradition of giving the gift of time to each other, Christmas time is a special time for us. From all corners of the world, everyone is together to celebrate this wonderful time of year. We are witnesses of the results that have transpired over the last four years since we started this Christmas time tradition and we are so grateful. Wishing the same for each of my fellow educators. Let the fun begin! This is to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Love & Blessings!!
“Oh how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men.”- Psalm 31:19
