Sometimes we walk through dark valleys without much warning. Questioning is natural. Perhaps these valleys teach us some deeper things about ourselves, about others and about the nature of Jesus. Emergence from the darkness and into brighter surroundings restores hope. 

Learning and living restoration are not always simple tasks, even though the process is necessary, beautiful and hope-filled. When I began praying for restoration years ago, I had no idea where the road would lead. I still have no idea! Am I handling these transitions perfectly? I would think not. But, I am so blessed to have my faithful Friend keeping His eye on "this sparrow" and covering me with "His hand."

Along those lines of personal reflection, let me mention that I love being back in St. Tammany Parish to teach. Teaching at Lee Road Junior High School is a joy. Next week, exams begin. Where have 9 weeks gone?! I am excited about starting a MATHCOUNTS Club (https://mathcounts.org/sslpage.aspx) this next nine weeks.


Busy? Yes!
Fulfilled? Yes!
Happy? Yes!

Be blessed today and always, my friend!
