Longhorn in Houston: Teach On
http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2011/07/teach-on.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. I am unsure as to why God has looked on me so favorably this past week but once again, He came through and blessed my life and family because. I got a teaching position in Austin! I know I had previously mentioned that leaving my job in Houston was a HUGE risk but I had complete faith that if God wanted me in front of a classroom and working with children, He would make it happen. I constantly prayed "God, I hope you think I'm a good teacher! Tuesday morning was GRUELING! So I gue...

Longhorn in Houston: October 2010
http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. Changing Things Up a Bit. I'm back in blogging action after a hiatus of about a month! Back in action but not in the same fashion. You see, I was on the verge of making my blog private in an effort to limit the amount of information that floats out on the web about my family and I but I stalled for a bit because I wasn't quite sure where I wanted to go with the "unique" thoughts that come from my head. However, I've now come to a decision. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2011/07/gods-good-grace-and-provision.html
Sunday, July 3, 2011. God's good grace and provision. It all started with a yellow highlighter. Fast forward past my immediate optometrist appointment."I need to refer you for further testing because I can't find anything wrong with your eye. Go see this neuro-opthalmologist ASAP." Cue second freak out: neuro=brain. Enter neuro-opthalmologist office at the highly regarded University of Houston Eye Institute and MS Eye Care. Doctor then proceeds to slip a disc into my hand entitled "NEXT STEPS: What to do...

Longhorn in Houston: On My Mind
http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2011/05/on-my-mind.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. I've been thinking about James 1:2-4 a lot lately. I've poured over this verse many times and am so completely comforted by it for my life and the lives of many people I know. Consider it pure joy.". A sweet way of putting it really.I mean, it's God.if I were him I would scream ". Pure joy." rather, He gives us the option to "consider it". Trials of many kinds.". The testing of your faith develops perseverance.". Thank you, God, for this trial you have brought into my life! Anoth...

Longhorn in Houston: Beware: Major Time Sucking Black Hole
http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2011/07/beware-major-time-sucking-black-hole.html
Friday, July 1, 2011. Beware: Major Time Sucking Black Hole. The other day my sister in law sent me this website. Have you heard of. Do NOT click on the link unless you have endless amounts of time to drool over the crafts and wish you had an ounce of the talent these crafters do. (I, unfortunately, do not.) With the amount of time I spend on Craftgawker and watching Weeds on Netflix, you would think I was a teacher on summer vacation or something. July 2, 2011 at 6:30 PM. WHY did you do this to me?

http://longhorninhouston.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-saying-goodbye.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Wellafter much deliberation, talking and praying. This is the LAST POST for Longhorn in Houston and for my blogging in general. My decision came down to a few things:. Is blogging time well spent? Can you blog without idolizing it? What do I REALLY care to write about? I'm about to starting teaching a new grade level and it. Or thinking about making my blog bigger or better? It doesn't matter. None of it matters. Will I want a blog when I have kids? July 18, 2011 at 9:33 PM. Chris ...
