In honor of the Sixth Graders’ school theme and in the spirit of the holiday season, I present…
I believe.
I believe that …
… I was meant to be a mother and a teacher.
… God wants us to love one another, not judge one another.
… the sound of a zipper unzipping will always remind me of Jekyll Island campgrounds.
… given enough time, space, and encouragement, all children can learn math.
… Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was right when he said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
I believe.
I believe that …
… my 6th grade team keeps me going on those hard days (and the easy ones, too!).
… laughter, while it might not be the absolute best medicine, is up there in the top three.
… snacks make a Wednesday afternoon meeting a little more bearable. (Thanks to whoever instituted this new practice!)
… my mindfulness practice and meditations help me each day.
… Anne Lamott’s writing speaks to my soul. She wrote in Traveling Mercies, “Here are the two best prayers I know: ‘Help me, help me, help me’ and ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I pray them EVERY day.
I believe.
I believe that …
… SEC football is SO MUCH FUN!
… being a mother is the best job I will ever have.
… Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and that Disney World is the happiest place on earth.
… Trinity is an amazing place to work.
… 6th graders at Trinity represent the best of ALL our work.
I believe.
