“Rejoice always, pray continually,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Psalm 51 is quickly becoming my favorite chapter in the Bible.

My mommy made me this dress! #Wedding

i miss my heart.

can’t wait till may when i get to see my beautiful nephew!!

i’ve got a right to be wrong.

no i’m not color blind. i know the world is black & white.

“stop this train, i want to get off & go home again.

i can’t take the speed it’s movin’ in…”

.

whew.

wow.

i want to write it all and write none of it.

i want to reveal all that i’m feeling and nothing at all.

i’m actually at peace right now.

all should be well.

all is well.

.

i think what’s surprising me most about myself 

is that the older i get

the quicker

i give up.

no, that’s not right. this blog is not about me being a mopey, typical girl and gushing about gushy stuff and being disappointed and having no where else to turn to so thus pouring my soul out to a blog which on average 1.5 people read in a month. 

.

no.

.

life. life is good.

i am….good.

.

i’m good.

i’m good.

.

lies. 

ok, so i am good but i’m also thinking.

but thinking gets me in trouble.

now i’m rambling.

rambling ALWAYS gets me in trouble.

now i’m not frustrated. 

now i’m smiling.

now i’m sighing.

.

everything seems like the end of the world.

until

tomorrow comes.

world-shaker:

As teachers we rely on the fact that human beings are fundamentally curious creatures. Additionally, people tend to have a natural curiosity about themselves and those around them, which gives psychology teachers an excellent advantage in the classroom. Despite this advantage, many of us see our students again in higher-level classes and wonder why the lessons we know we taught them did not stay with them. We wonder, why didn’t my teaching stick? We all know that it’s far easier to recall the contents of a Discovery Channel program than a two-hour topical lecture, but few of us understand why this is the case. Malcolm Gladwell and Dan and Chip Heath have looked to the business and advertising worlds and discovered six concepts that are surprisingly relevant to making ideas “stick” in peoples’ minds: Simplicity, Unexpectedness, Concreteness, Credibility, Emotion, and Stories. These ideas can be applied to teaching, and in this essay, I will show you how you can apply them in the classroom.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8
