Beautiful Things: May 2013

It’s way past time for me to share Namumu with you, so maybe it can frequent your prayers and thoughts and journals too. Namumu is a community run orphanage that shelters, feeds, and educates orphans and vulnerable children in the Siavonga District of Zambia. Namumu is two-fold. There is the orphanage center. And then on the premises, there is Namumu Primary School (grades 1-7). I can...

Beautiful Things: November 2014
http://declaringhisglory.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. Hello again, old friends. I could make excuses like, "I'm a first year teacher and went grocery shopping for the first time in a month last week, unpacked my bedroom after living in my apartment for two months, and feel like I can breathe for the first time since August," but we'll just go with. I slacked in blogger world. So what brought me back to this space, to this world? We prayed through the first days of chemo and the many days thereafter. We prayed through big surg...

Sunday, February 16, 2014. Why I Love Teaching Littles. Why do I love teaching? And why do I love teaching the little ones? There are so many reasons, but here are just a few:. Because oh, the potential. Because I want them to fall in love with learning and thinking deeply. Can you tell me more about that? He responded, "Yeah, 200/200=1." And so I said, "That's awesome!

Beautiful Things: Wonders in the Darkness (A Post for Holy Saturday)
http://declaringhisglory.blogspot.com/2014/04/wonders-in-darkness-post-for-holy.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. Wonders in the Darkness (A Post for Holy Saturday). Are your wonders known in the darkness,. Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? Are Your wonders known in the darkness? That had to be the question on the disciples' minds on this day when You were dead and in the grave. Are Your wonders still known in the darkness? Did they all just completely forget? Did they find the Hope that they could anchor their souls to? Are Your wonders known in the darkness? All night lo...

Sunday, August 25, 2013. Sometimes kids just get it better than adults.

(Martin Luther King, "I Have a Dream" excerpt). Did he ever get to sit down at that table of brotherhood? Martin Luther King, "I Have a Dream" excerpt). Yeah, me too, kid. Because sometimes kids just get it so much better than adults. Their view isn'...

Beautiful Things: September 2013
http://declaringhisglory.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 28, 2013.
