i’ve got a right to be wrong.

“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.

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..."

“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

one of my favorite lines in spoken word poetry.

from a poem called “things” by thuli zuma.

all in one day.

the things that happen in one day.

we have this hope

that burns within our hearts

HOPE

in the coming of the Lord.

…

we believe the time is near,

when the nations far & near

shall awake

& shout

& sing

ha-

i tweeted a few nights ago,

“…I believe in God, even when He is silent.” -written on a wall during the holocaust

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I…

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I…

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
