I'm late to the party, but I like writing to a prompt and I liked this prompt! You can link-up, too, or go see other wonderful words of wisdom. Even a veteran teacher will enjoy the gems of wisdom given by fellow warriors! The host of this party is Deb at
If I want real true wisdom I think about O.W.L.S. I like to hang them around my room to remind me everywhere I look that God is with me every step of the way. Philippians 4:13 happens to be my favorite verse because it's helped me through some tough times. Feel free to grab your own OWLS and put them around your room, house, purse, to remind you of a strength greater than your own!
LOVE your owls!!! Thanks so much for sharing. And you are so right, some of these little ones have seen way more than I ever will.It's heartbreaking. We jus have to place them in His hands.

The job is heart breaking sometimes, isn't it? You are right when we've done what we can we pray someone can do more!

Between the frogs and the owls, I don't know which to choose as my mascot this year! Have I told you how GLAD I am to be following you? I am excited to be part of your adventure this year. :-) (Thanks for the freebie!!)

I'm glad to be following you! Put frogs close to the ground and Owls close to the ceiling that way which ever way you are looking you'll have a great reminder!

Love your OWLS. So true!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteHmmmm maybe OWLS should go along with your 4:13 tattoo.

Learning Is Something to Treasure
You were so blessed to have a good mentor! I had to ask lots of questions and find ways to figure things out!

LOVE this. Phil. 4:13 is my fav verse, too (I think I've hung by nail quicks onto that verse before), and I really like Only With the Lord's Strength! One more to add to my list . . .

I was so pleased when that popped out at me! God is good and this has really helped me hold onto that verse!
