3:325 – Teach Me Cursive #faithbites #faithjourney cursive Setting Today my six year old asked me to teach her cursive. She has no other reason than she saw us do it and she wanted to learn it. My eldest showed her some letters and I printed her off worksheets for every letter. While she was excited to learn, she was […]
3:295 – Irrational Fears #faithbites #faithjourney Irrational Setting Today I submitted the second draft of my dissertation. I immediately felt fear. Fear that my advisor would tear it a part as she did back when I submitted the first drafts of my general and special field literature reviews. The thing is, it’s an irrational fear. My pulse is racing and […]
3:153 – No Words #faithbites #faithjourney words I have no words today. Between COVID-19, race riots, politics, and everything going on, I am empty. I have taken a break from social media as it’s been too much. For me, I pray. I hope that all of you are healthy, safe, and can listen. Be kind to one another and know […]
3:110 – Staying Connected #faithbites #faithjourney connected It has been 30 days since I’ve been in the office for work. Nearly one month. We are starting week six of working from home / shelter in place. This is not easy but we are managing. The key to this is we all need to stay connected. I spent part of this […]
3:80 – Into the Unkown #faithbites #faithjourney #COVID19 Unknown We are marching Into the Unknown. (And No, I’m not talking about Elsa’s big number in Frozen 2). In Illinois, as of 2 P.M. tomorrow, we go into “shelter in place”. That means most businesses are closed. Essentials are open. This is unheard of for most in the United States. In […]
3:37 – How Many Spoons Do You Have? #faithbites #faithjourney Spoons I’m tried. Between work, school, health, family, and everything, I’m tired. It’s hard to describe what being tired really means when dealing with chronic health. A friend introduced me to the spoon analogy. This theory helps to explain chronic illness to those who don’t have it. In a nutshell, […]
2:328 – Differentiated Faith Journey #faithbites #faithjourney #RoadToEdD Differentiated This weekend was a writing weekend for me. It was time to buckle down and work on my dissertation. My specific area of interested is differentiated learning or how you change the content, process, product, or learning environment to match students needs and readiness. In all the months and years studying […]
2:303 – The Law And The Doctrine #faithbites #faithjourney Doctrine Before we start, I want to apologize if this offends anyone. This isn’t meant to do that but rather to open a dialogue of searching, questioning, and growing in faith. These also are my thoughts and don’t reflect the belief of my denomination or church. In many #faithbites, we have […]
2:174 – Encounters With Christ #faithbites #faithjourney encounters I know this is a shocker, but I like to question and learn as much as I can about as much as I can. From faith to food to life to science to everything, I want to learn. Some may say my learning about faith is questioning it and going against teachings. […]
2:121 – You Don’t Have To Intervene Every Time #faithbites #faithjourney intervene You may remember that one if my Lenten promises was to give up commenting on political posts and try to change people’s minds. I wasn’t perfect but I did it. Over time, I learned that I could scroll past. It wasn’t my duty to have to try and […]
