Hope these words are as encouraging for you as they have been for me. They are from one of my new favorite songs on my new Jaime Jamgochian cd, that I recieved from the wonderful group who kept giving and giving to us all on my trip.

You Are

More than I ever imagined

Deep within my heart lies passion

For who You are

The one who spun the stars so lovely

Set the universe above me

that's who You are

I want to see Your glory appear

I want to feel Your presence drawing near

God of Hope extraordinary

Matchless love there's no comparing

Abba Father always caring

You are

Peace that passes understanding

Peace that grows always expanding

In your hands my life a treasure

Yesturday, today, forevermore

That's who you are

When I stop to think of all Your wonder

Your mysteries I soon discover

there is more

of Who You Are

Do you have a favorite part of speech?
You remember the 8 parts of speech, taking apart and labeling sentences. I work a lot with those 8 parts of speech with my language students. They really are quite important. So, do you have a favorite? I do, well today I do (I don't think I usually have a strong opinion). I love prepositions. You know everywhere the squirrel (or lizard) can go. Or as I have my students learn - adds information regarding time, place and manner. Why do I suddenly had this love for the strange words called prepositions? Because of this quote I read by Saint Patrick. I was walking the other day and the words kept going to my mind reminding that I am not here alone but...
Christ shield me this day
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
behind me,
in me,
beneath me,
above me,
on my right,
on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every person who thinks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ is the ear that hears me.
