Wake up that brain!

This grad school thing has been crazy busy-- I think my MAT group has to constantly give ourselves pep talks or else we wonder why we are putting ourselves through this one year crazy program.

Although I must say, I think my IQ has increased significantly in the past month! I must have been losing brain cells when I was going through the motions of the "real world." Why do they call it that by the way?I mean were we just living in fakeville prior to college graduation. Am I back in some alternative existence now that I'm in school again? Very strange saying if you ask me. Speaking of which-- if you'd like to talk to me about the latest technology, how we can incorporate wikis, blogs, podcasting, social networking, and other digital media publishing elements, I'm game. Or, maybe you'd prefer to talk about the pedagogy, methodology, or various theories regarding our current curriculum and teaching standards, and how we can change how students are engaged and developing through education. Perhaps you've been dying to talk to someone about the developmental psychology of children and adolescents. I know you want to know about the various laws and amendments that have changed the environment of the classroom and the differentiation accommodations that are incorporated into lesson planning for various diversity and disorders of students that are strategically inclusive in todays schools. No? You don't want to? Well if by some chance you do-- I have all kinds of info! :)  It's awesome to stick to one topic in school and become a master in it. Hey, that must be why they call it a MASTERS degree-- man am I smarter!
I'm over half-way done with the summer session. Then I'll have a break before fall starts! Stick with me kids. It will be a quick ride. God is good, He gets me through everything. Hope you are challenged today. If you want to wake up that brain, here's some word jumbles courtesy of The Pioneer Woman.

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
