It’s a Double Shot Kind of Day

I need coffee. Correction: I need GOOD coffee. I need espresso. It's chilly out, and I have a headache, a really bad one actually. My students are sweet enough to notice and are behaving like they care, whispering and keeping calm and actually doing their work. But they're still here, and so am I. A really strong, hot cappuccino would really help right about now, with a double shot for sure. Some days are just double shot kind of days, am I right? That's why I created today's free SVG. I'll be putting it on a mug from the dollar store and keeping it in my classroom. My students can realize it's a warning ...

Do you have an even if kind of faith?

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Daniel 3:17-18 Last night, I heard a song I haven't heard in a while, and I immediately remembered a good friend of our family who struggled with chronic illness for years before passing away more than two years ago. The song was played at his funeral, and I always think of him when I hear it. During the hard days, he clung to the ...

What Your Words Really Say – Matthew 12:34 SVG File

Day 9 of 31 Free SVG Files and Printables features a Matthew 12:34 SVG file for you! I use a lot of words, always have. In fact, when I spent a weekend being interviewed for the missions sending agency I worked with after college, one of the trainers did an exercise in which he observed the communication of our group. When the exercise was over he said, "So-and-so, you spoke the most often, but Charlie used the most words." What can I say? I work things out with words. I just don't want those words to be empty. Or worse, wrong, hurtful, harmful. Because what I say reflects what's in my heart, and my heart should ...

Free Karen Blixen Quote Digital Art Print

Get your FREE Karen Blixen Quote Digital Art Print and SVG File! So, when I walked outside to supervise students at break this morning, the cool air and gray skies brought tears to my eyes. And, not just because we finally have a break from the heat and humidity. It's what I like to call a Limuru Day, and it's perfect for layering sweaters, drinking chai and feeling really homesick. If you miss Kenya like I do, that is. Those of you who've never traveled to my other home probably only envision sweeping savannas or hot, dry areas or maybe even beautiful beaches; but those of use who know the country ...
