NoteWorthy: Remembering Your Reason Why?


As I sit and reflect on my first week back to school, I reminded myself WHY I do what I do! Why do I get out of bed Monday thru Friday? Why did I become an educator? I became an educator for reasons of the heart, to help others learn, and to make a positive impact in the lives of people. This year is a little different though because I’m being called to a different level of connectedness with my class this year. A bond that is going to govern how well they will thrive academically in my classroom. I am being charge to make a connection with my students not in my methods but in my heart. I was challenged to remember that my heart is what led me to teach. So, I am to join self, subject, and students into the same fabric that will create a capacity of connectedness within the classroom. I am charged to “Win their hearts”! 
Do you know your WHY?

Her inner beauty cast light on to the outer and it supersedes all things physical where true beauty will shine through for all to see. She would never allow her past to hold her future hostage. We all make mistakes. We all are still growing. We have not yet become anything. Be proud of yourself that you have

I learned through the years that life isn’t always easy. But if you’re always looking at the bad, you will miss the good. I have come to realize though, that just like when finding the silver lining, there is a beauty in the storms.  You have to embrace them. They are a blessing in disguise. How would you know the morning if you never knew the midnight?

“Who do YOU say I am?”

 Notes of Inspiration: 📓🖋 “Who do you say I am?” **************************************** 13  When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;( B ) others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”( C ) 15  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” ************************************ In the above text, we find Jesus going about His business doing what only He could. He continues to journey northward until He walks up on His disciple and ask them one of the most profound question in the Bible. Jesus put this question to his followers. Who do you say I am?” Jesus challenge the disciples to assess the true level of their faith. It is an affecting and very human moment. A moment in time, that Jesus was well aware of the buzz of conversation that His work of miracles were causing “I Am” is an important phrase throughout the Bible. The “I Am” st
