Thirteen again

Finally got my student teaching placement! I will be starting tomorrow morning at Simpson Middle School.
I'm so pumped to get right there in the hormonal, body odored, confused, and cognitively developing action. Say a prayer that I can really be used in these kids lives, and that I stay on top of my nightly grad work while waking up early for life as a thirteen year old again--- I wouldn't go back to 7th grade for anything!

Also, as your true Coffee CubBuster, I threw together the best little Frappe beverage the other day. There was some left over coffee in the pot which was obviously cold. Soooo, I decided to invent a quick frothy treat. Since this was a quick invention, I didn't have time to actually measure stuff out. Here's what I think it amounted to:

4 cups of cold coffee
2 cups of ice
2 cups of milk
1/4 a cup of chocolate syrup
1 cup of cool whip*  (this makes it frothy on the top-a must!)

The best creations are those spontaneous ones! From my cup to yours~ Enjoy!

Yeah.... I wish this is where I was when I made it.

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
