Second Grade

 Abijah



This second grader loves to hold adult conversations. The other day she came to me with a question. "Miss, my sister tell me that when Jesus comes back and people aren't ready to go that all they must say is, 'Master, I am sorry I want to accept you in my heart,' and he will let them in. Miss that ain't true is it?" She proceeded to explain to me with two pens how we are one pen and the Holy Spirit is the next and how he wants us to follow him but lots of big people "they does still be living wrong." Not only conscientious in doing the best God wants, she applies it to her work as well. Oh to have the submissive spirit of this little child.

I believe she has taught me the most of any of my students. She came with "learning" disabilities in K but she is now one of the smartest. What they are told and what is expected of a child is who they become. Reading is one of her strong points sounding out almost any big word. She knows too well how to get the other students to laugh at her...much to my annoyance many times. Sometimes there are others that can share the center of attention. Most mornings she welcomes me with a BIG hug.

First thing in the morning you will find her on the basketball court playing Bitem. She is a threat to the boys many times sometimes even winning the game. Put her in front of her books and her pencil will be a hockey stick, her rubber a ball, and her name tag will be adjusted far to often! Tough on the outside and ready to play any sport she still has a very soft heart and discipline is a serious offense to her.  God has a great plan with all her energy.

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

Image
It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
