"What Is Your Truth?"

July has been a very good month...My sister from New York was here for a week; also my eldest sister's birthday; and to top it off--I & my mom & my four sisters were in a Women's Convention slated at our church. As I always say, "nothing can supersede the fellowship with our Lord." Your feet might take you places where they take your breath away and along the way meet people that astounds your curiosity about their culture; but when you're praising & worshiping the Lord with other women of the same faith, you know God inhabits the praise of His people and His spirit is there in the midst...

So, August is here. Celebrating its first day is a big thing for me. My hopes are in an awesome high. I went walking/jogging in the park. It felt like even the weather, the atmosphere, and the grounds are very welcoming. With the sights of clouds hovering, meaning no scorching heat from the sun and just a few walkers on the trails, I'm thinking this is really good. Walking for me "kinda" triumphs other activities I may be doing before dusk.

August streamlines summer fun as it prepares us to September. The most pivotal event may be "back to school" here in the South for grade-schoolchildren and also for university/college students.That's in three weeks before a week of teachers preparing the classroom for the children. I am looking forward to meeting new children/ staff members and what this brings to all of us as a part of fostering educational needs in a public school setting. May others' ability and willingness to step up in confidence & servitude be everyone's truth. Because I do believe that in order to serve children rightfully so; that fire of passion in making a difference that sometimes flickers be ignited fully... There's so much stake when it comes to teaching the children. We have to realize that they are the primary source of where best inspirations spring in teaching with good intentions.We have to remind ourselves why we are educators. I tell you, I think I am ready to do what it takes to come in full circle--teaching in essence. I had the whole summer to contemplate...

Thus, while waiting for August 18, (big day for new students & parents) I am more mindful now than ever of living in the present. When you enter in the spirit of gratitude and forgiveness, your perspective in life becomes so illuminated that yo want to activate that positive energy. Blessings come your way in different forms. And with what we receive, we are commanded to help others in any way we can. You see blessings are anointed favors from the Lord-- our hands should be outstretched and wide open to give...Know what God has steward you for...This could be your truth--stepping out of your tedious comfort zone and stand up for what you believe in even when you find yourself standing alone. But we are never really alone...because "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 (KJV)

Love you all with the love of the Lord.
