This substitute teaching gig is kicking my butt. Six days this month at the middle school in town and I can’t believe how exhausted I am when I get home each day. I have even been questioning whether I am cut out to do this. But then I saw this quote in the classroom I was in today. I think I need to write this quote out and keep it with me each day I spend in a classroom. It probably won’t make me less tired or exhausted, but it will be a good reminder that there is a bigger purpose in my time spent with these students. #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday #substituteteacher

“As I walk this great unknown
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain?
Did I cry these tears in vain?

I don't want to live in fear
I want to trust that You are near
Trust Your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go” - @tenthavenuenorth
Found a couple of videos on how to paint this batik from this month’s Fair Trade Friday box, and the words from this song from Tenth Avenue North are a perfect fit for the word ‘hope’. My hope is not in the things I do. My hope is in the One who is always with me ❤️ #fairtradefridaybox #mercyhouseglobal #batikpainting #fairtradeartisans #hope #ihavethishope #songlyrics

Going to give this new project a try from my @fair_trade_friday monthly box, but I am afraid to mess it up! Any suggestions, or is there a video to watch? @thebatikboutique #fairtradefridaybox #hope

We did some spring cleaning in our backyard last weekend. And it is a good thing too. It started raining today, and we have rain in the forecast off and on for the next week or so. But the flowers my daughter planted are loving our unseasonably cooler weather and this May rain. So if April showers bring May flowers, what do May showers bring? 🤔 #gerberadaisy #rainyday #questionoftheday

Today, I #putonyourpearls and took a #selflessselfie to encourage my friends to check out @mercyhouseglobal for their annual #sheispriceless day. I love supporting this non-profit which helps pregnant teenage girls in Kenya. Mercy House Global works with #fairtradeartisans in areas of extreme poverty where they create beautiful items that we have the opportunity to purchase. Our purchases help give these artisans a fair wage and helps support the girls at the Rhema home in Kenya. Today, check out @mercyhouseglobal and @fair_trade_friday and consider making a donation! #makeadifference #changealife

This is one of the many reasons why I love living where I do. Early Saturday morning drive out to one of my favorite farms to pick blueberries. Can’t wait for the cherries to be ripe in another week or two 🥰 #ottfarms #upickfarm #blueberries #centralvalley #california #freshproduce

The rhubarb I bought today came in handy for baking @inagarten’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for dessert #barefootcontessa #recipe #strawberryrhubarbcrisp #homemade #baking #dessert
