Spring ROCKS!!!

Illumination
and sweet simple melodies
awaken my soul.

I LOVE Spring! I know it's not officially Spring yet, but it feels like it right now.
The warm air, bright sun and bird's singing all really rejuvinate me!!

Lord, thank you for changing seasons! You are the master of creativity and beauty!!

The Butterfly Effect

It is thought that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing could ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.

--Chaos Theory

~~~~~

"...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." --Matthew 17:20 (NIV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's hard for me to think that I could potentially have such a huge impact in the world... that my actions could make such a big difference, whether it be in the life of one person or the whole planet. I'm not sure I like it. On some level it makes me want to hide myself away so that I can't have any negative impact on anyone or anything. On the other hand, if I could positively effect even one person's life just for a moment, I want to go for it. The problem is that there can be a really fine line between the two and you can't erase your actions once you've walked them out.

Lord, thank you for the ability to move mountains. Please take away my fears and strengthen my faith so that I am not afraid to walk on the path You have laid out for me. I want to effect the world according to Your Will for my life.

Classroom Pet

This is one of the baby Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches that lives in my classroom. (I'm not sure if this is "Ronald" or "McDonald".) They are a little over an inch long right now and may double in size before they're full grown. I have a kind of love/hate feeling towards the concept of pet cockroaches. It creeps me out a LOT to have them in the room, but I must admit that they are pretty cool, as long as I don't have to touch them. These cockroaches are pretty spoiled. The kids bring them fruit to supplement their dry food and there is a heater attached to the side of their cage.
