There have been some things I've been thinking about...
When I teach, I want to do so in a way that it sticks to my students whether they want it to or not. I don't know how I'm going to do that, but I'll figure it out soon. October 11, 2007
Today, it is so common to see a young girl influenced by everything around her. Actually, it seems like the only thing we see. That is one of the reasons I desire to be a middle school teacher and why I long to write books. There are so many girls out there, and boys as well, that base their opinion of themselves on what other people tell them. Whether it is their friends, the media, their parents, their religion, or something else, so much of what they hear are lies. I want to be a strong voice in the midst of the deception and tell them that they are in fact intelligent, beautiful people that can accomplish anything and everything with Jesus Christ on their side.

It's okay for me to write, and it's okay for me to lay myself out on paper. Even then, it's okay for people to go against me. Because if people are going against me, then I know that I am not going along with the normal flow, but rather, I am doing what pleases God: righteously defying the ungodly patterns of this world.

Also, here are some awesome things that God says and some other quotes:
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we my spur one another on toward love and good deeds," Hebrews 10:23-24.
"For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you , remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe...," Ephesians 1:15-19.
"Now, if they who teach are not essentially affected with pure love, the love of God, how can they teach as they ought?" William Apess, 1833

Hehe, Steph I just checked out a small piece of your blog. :) Wow, I too spend a lot of time dreaming and imagining. It's much sweeter this way I believe. I am glad God gave me room for imagination. :)
