THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY:

I thank God first of all for peace of mind.  He has taken care of this old body carefully.  I am able to accomplish a lot of things I could not do while I was sick.  I can't believe sinusitis and bronchitis can tackle me like that.  I was unable to eat, sleep, or walk regularly.  But God sat fit to bring me back one more time.  I am so appreciative of all the prayers I received.  I could feel the Holy Spirit embracing me throughout it all.  I just let him minister to my soul.  When people take the time to pray for a prayer request they have no idea how much God uses them tremendously.  I know for myself I had to learn to reach out to others for prayers to touch and agree on God's healing or blessings.  So thanks to all the Twitter and Facebook friends who pray when I have a prayer request.  All feelings of aloneness are gone in that time of need.  

I also thank God for making me strong enough to return to tutoring.  Tutoring is my passion.  I really like helping a child succeed academically.  It builds their confidence and propels them to higher heights.  I just feel used by God every time I am in the tutoring mode.   Thank you, Jesus, for getting me back to work at Calhoun Community College.  I miss my students. I am so happy to report more students are coming to the Math Lab for help.  We have to have these kids paying into social security for our retirements. ahahahahahahaahah.   God is so good - thank you!

THOUGHTS - 07-13-16

Just watched the town hall on CNN. My heart is heavy! I know God will make a way. But doubt slips in because I'm asking myself why doesn't all parties have to make changes. When I would visit the detention centers, my heart ached seeing really intelligent boys housed like cattle. The politicians would rather spend more money on prisons owned by their friends than education. They treat young people the same way they treat the vets. If you have mental problems, it should be addressed. But it is so easier to move as far away from the inner city and feel no responsibility at all for the ills of the community. How are we claiming to be a Christian country and we in no way reflect Christ. IJS. What can we do NOW? Unset DAs, judges, politicians who are a part of the problem and provide no solutions. We have groom young people to fill future positions. We form committed to vet each of them And publish a quarterly report of their performance. Start petitions to impeach these guys who don't get it. I have tutored kids from various cultures. Each has desires to be successful. But we beat them down with so much rhetoric as adults. This must STOP. We need committees to rate other public servants such as teachers. If they are unproductive they must go! My son has had some good teachers but thereH are others who need to not be in the profession. They came for the money, was disappointed, and carry a chip on their shoulders. They have to go or change their dispositions. We need to be aware of who is in charge and hold them accountable.

THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY, JUNE 18, 2016:

It is so easy to say you are a Christian. But that walk is a true testament. I have had to rely on the Lord for so much that I don't know of any other help. If you are unable to get out of bed no matter how hard you try, he is there. When You legs won't hold you up, he is there. When you feel like you can't go on, he is there! I thank the Lord for manifesting himself in my life over and over again. He was there so many times I have become comfortable expecting him to be there every time. I call him up and he answers and I let him know my desires and he comes through with an answer every time. THANK YOU JESUS FOR CONSISTENCY, MERCY, GRACE, COMPASSION, EMPATHY AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE!!!!!

THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY! MAY 18, 2016

Really this happened this past Saturday! 
Two of my students, via their mom of course, gave me a beautiful card and a gift certificate. 
I was so overjoyed. I actually ate right after I left the center because I had not eaten lunch. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart MzIdoit ToPerfection! 
You all really blessed me! GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!
