Little Miss Rachel
Today Rachel and I had a great time doing house work, playing, going to the groceries, having dinner with my parents and playing some more! Here are some pics.

My Heroes
On Friday, I was able to visit the school that I taught at for 5 yrs. Two of my heroes still work there whom I love dearly... my aunts.
Yvonne is a first grade teacher and she's been teaching for about 20 years. I was so honored to have been her teammate and to be able to have someone so talented to help and support me so much when I was teaching. She has such a wonderful approach to teaching and showing her kids responsibilities in the classroom. She gives her students such wonderful praise daily and has always expected so much from them. She makes each student feel loved unconditionally. As mentioned before, she is a wonderful teammate who would always share her ideas and papers with others. She is known to hand packets of papers to the new teachers each month so that they can have things to use in their classroom. Her projects don't compare to anyone that I know. I am amazed at her wonderful positive attitude towards her students (no matter how hard the child is) and teaching. God has blessed me and many more people who know Yvonne.
Paz is an instructional assistant in the Learning Lab and she also is the ISS(In School Suspension) teacher . She has worked at Carson for 7 years and has worked with almost every child at Carson elementary in those years. She worked in the reading room as a reading teacher for 4 years. She has such a great rapport with the students and teachers and parents at the school. If you have ever met Paz, you know that she's is the friendliest person you could every meet. She'll stop everything just to help you out and always puts others before herself. I am so honored to have Paz in my life. God has truly blessed me and so many others who know Paz.

Words cannot express my love for these women. God has truly blessed me with wonderful women in my life that I can look to for help and support and guidance. :)
Devo from Max Lucado- 9-29-08
Do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward.
Hebrews 10:35 (NCV)
Is there anything more frail than a bruised reed? Look at the bruised reed at the water's edge. A once slender and tall stalk of sturdy river grass, it is now bowed and bent.
Are you a bruised reed? Was it so long ago that you stood so tall, so proud?...
Then something happened. You were bruised...
by harsh words
by a friend's anger
by a spouse's betrayal ....
The bruised reed .... Society knows what to do with you .... The world will break you off; the world will snuff you out.
But the artists of Scripture proclaim that God won't. Painted on canvas after canvas is the tender touch of a Creator who has a special place for the bruised and weary of the world. A God who is the friend of the wounded heart.
