And I have listened more than I'd like to admit.<br />
I read these words...<br />
<br />
<i>"We're called to chase lions. There is an old aphorism 'No guts, no glory.' When we don't have the guts to step out in faith and chase lions, then God is robbed of the glory that rightfully belongs to Him." </i><br />
-- Mark Batterson<br />
<br />
I swallow hard and the fear stays.<br />
I talk to friends, pace the floor, have trouble going to sleep at night.<br />
Then this morning I'm sipping coffee. And I start telling God how big He is and how He can do anything.<br />
<i>Anything.</i><br />
When I look back at the fear, that lion roaring at me, it seems so much smaller sitting alongside the God of the Universe.<br />
And I realize it's been that way all along.<br />
Fear roars at me again.<br />
But this time it sounds more like...<br />
<div style="color: #990000;"><b><i>Meow.</i></b></div>I chase it out the door.<br />
<div style="color: #990000;"><i>Silly cat.</i></div>And I turn instead to all God has for me.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><h1 class="ha"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="hP" id=":vl">♥ 2 </span><span class="hP" id=":vl">♥ with Holley</span></span></h1></div><br />
This post by Holley reminds of of the constant fear that Manitobans feel as they battle to keep the flooding under control. <i>They have the guts to step out in faith and chase the lions. </i>Below are pictures of the Assiniboine River right next to our community.Our people have been helping with the sand bagging in the Portage and Elie area for three days now. While the water levels were high, along with the levels of anxiety, we DID NOT have to evactuate nor did our cows lol. Some of the stories going around are so dumb! Yes, we were worried, but were safe through it all. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Something fashioned in heaven and placed in your heart.</span><br />
Something we need <i>and it's beautiful.</i><br />
Maybe it's a smile.<br />
A little kindness.<br />
That dream you're ready to start living.<br />
<i>You matter.</i><br />
Oh, how you do.<br />
The God who flung stars into place, who holds the world in His hands, who makes all things possible lives in you.<br />
And this week will be better because of what you two do together.<br />
Watch out, world, here comes <i>you</i>...<br />

<h1 class="ha"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="hP" id=":vl">♥ 2 </span></span><span class="hP" id=":vl"><span style="font-size: x-small;">♥ with Holley</span></span></h1><br />
~ I don't know about you, or if you've even ever encountered<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="hP" id=":vl">♥ 2 </span></span><span class="hP" id=":vl" style="font-size: small;">♥ with Holley</span> but when I get the weekly email from the website I subscribed to my heart skips a beat because.... I know it contains something beautiful I need to read the moment I receive it...something beautiful that will touch my soul and make me realize I do make a difference, what I do matters, and the world would miss me if i wasn't around ;).<br />
When I open my inbox I painstakingly wait for my browser to open this weeks write up from Holley and when it's finally on my screen I take a deep breathe and I start reading... by the time I'm done reading the stress and anxiety that weight heavy on my heart wash away and I feel like I'm sipping on a cup of herb tea, feet propped up, with a box of chocolates in my lap. That's my idea of relaxation and the message I get weekly makes me feel like that without even actually doing it...Does that even makes sense?? I don't know but to me it does ;). <br />
Every week my soul gets comforted and uplifted by the personal context and bible verses Holley so graciously shares with the souls in need of enlightenment. Our existence, <i>yours, mine, every bodies,</i> is a miracle and every week is a gift... not just another 24/7 era of hair pulling stress waiting to be put into motion. <br />

I was out to make learning about animals interesting for my Science students. My goal: to make learning interesting. I taught the same unit 2 years ago with other students and planned the unit using research projects as assignments for the animal classifications of reptiles, mammals, birds, insects, fish and amphibians. I soon came to despise the idea of grade 2 and 3 students having to do tedious research papers instead of something exciting and fun. Yes, they are informative but give a child a 2 inch book to go through to find information and you’ve got some discouraged kiddies on your hands. So I pondered for a couple days until a light bulb went on and my pen flew over my paper making plans for our next big adventure. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Before we started this mysterious project I planned a shopping trip to acquire the few supplies we would need to make this project a success. United Unlimited in Winnipeg and they had an amazing selection of small plastic animals… even if the place does smell funny. I bought some plastic greenery and rocks from Dollarama, made a batch of clay and off we were starting the next big adventure, one that will be talked about by its participants for weeks to come. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">So last week on Friday I scheduled in an afternoon of fun for the scholars in my class room, hence the construction of the coolest animal habitats you have ever set eyes on were brought to life. Our goal was to make them look as realistic as possible and the outcome was astounding. I admit, I had my doubts about it and wanted to scrap the idea before we even began but I’m glad I didn’t. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">We started out by mixing acrylic paint into the clay and off we went building a farm and forest for some mammals, birds and insects. My students worked hard to perfect the area that they were assigned to and feverishly toiled to make trees of out cut up toilet paper rolls, clay and plastic leaves. We made a stream running through the forest and out into an ocean for some fish and other sea animals. When we were done building the habitats we added the animals, plastic plants and let it dry during the weekend, eagerly awaiting Monday, anticipating all that was left to do and excited to give it another go. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

Throughout the whole process the students stopped to admire their work, rightfully so, as they were doing an unbelievable job that surpassed any expectations that I had. We made trees with vines, a green-blue swamp, a lake and made a desert at the far end of our display. It was kind of hard to include all the habitats because a jungle can’t be right next to a desert so I had to make sure our approach was as realistic as possible. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

BUT....'<i>ahem</i>'...I don't think any of them are finished yet, due to lack of time :(. We probably never even make it to 20 pages, I'm not sure but we do try. It's the thought that counts and the love that’s poured into the 'few' pages that we do make. So for part of today we put aside our sewing projects and spent some of our weekend making pages for Jaycee Kate<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">♥</span> and these are the 2 pages I created so far.

It was, from my prespective, a lot more fun, because it wasn't as time consuming and difficult to constuct for the children. I took some photos to share with you...Enjoy. I hope you were all blessed with a joyous Christmas, surrounded by loved ones.</span><br />

Burdens beckon me to answer.<br />
The to-do list stretches for miles.<br />
I whisper, <em>"I feel overwhelmed." </em><br />
And in the stillness it seems I hear...<br />
"Child, open your heart to Me instead of the demands of the day.<br />
Lay those burdens at My feet, not on your shoulders.<br />
Let go of your list and dare to embrace My grace.<br />
I do not require you to be <em>overwhelmed.</em><br />
I enable you to <em>overcome</em>.<br />
And with Me, you always will."<br />

I feel like I’m doing something not only for myself, but for my students and my community. Yes, some days I want to scurry out at the end of the day without glimpsing back dreaming about days off which are nonexistent, as I’m well aware of. Some days I enjoy it so much I don’t want to leave. There are weeks that go by without a hitch and I feel like I’m doing something right. In those weeks/days teaching is almost easy, effortless so to speak, which leaves me blindsided and totally unprepared for the upcoming weeks that do not turn out to well. In these weeks I painstakingly get out of bed, treading on egg shells at that time already, in fear of damaging everything I encounter. These weeks can turn out to be a total dilemma and will be if I enter my class room having expectations of the individuals who learn there which they are incapable of fulfilling. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">I wonder if I’m in denial… I must be to think that every day should go perfectly according to my plans. I’m not even in control and to think I am and to live like I am is just a set up for disappointment, yet still I do it . It’s on days like this when I foolishly put trust in myself and forget about trusting God to get me through. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Subsequently, at the end of the day I sit at my desk for maybe the second time that day, I go over my day plan and reflect on the events of the day. To my utter dismay we didn’t get as much done as I had anticipated. What do I do when we fail to accomplish as much as I had planned –I completely and utterly panic, thinking that I’m doing something so dreadfully wrong that it will take years of education under a different educator to correct my heinous errors . However, I’m hoping that’s not the case….</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">My point is this: When I trudge to school at 8:30 in the morning I shouldn’t be thinking that today will be a perfect day to teach my students all 20 Matter definitions, to make a flip book out of them, to finish the diorama we’ve been working on for weeks, to get the Math and Social Studies unit done, to teach 3 different grades 3 different ELA Lessons and all the while thinking I’ll have time to plan a new Science unit in-between. I should be walking to school thinking that today I get another amazing opportunity to teach my students, to watch then learn and to learn along with them. I should expect nothing and my students would be fulfilling and exceeding all the expectations I had for that day. Nobody, not even I, performs at the same level daily and I expect my students to be able to do just that some weeks. The less we seem to get done, the more I try to get done and it’s not working. Last week just didn’t work for any of us. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Therefore, this week I’m trying something different. I get up in the morning and I ask God to please show me what to do because I don’t know what that is anymore. I ask to be accepting of my students and their capabilities and most importantly I ask God to help me realize that I can’t make unreasonable expectations and wait for them to be accomplished no matter how reasonable they seem to me. I try to face the day with a more relaxed perspective. As I plan my day I reasonably ponder on whether we can get some things done that I have in mind to and then I remind myself that even if we don’t accomplish what we should today….it’s OK. If my students don’t learn about the entire world of Matter like I wanted them to, it’s OK because at least I taught them the concept of patience and acceptance. Those too, are valuable lessons, which they can apply to their lives, and even now as they journey through the years of their youth. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The moral of this story: No expectations <b><i>are</i></b> the best expectations. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Ohhhh and I think my classroom is worth bragging about so here are some photos I’ve been wanting to share for quite some time.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">Calendar/Reading Area:</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYj6G0w_R6XUk2MUfQQHn8qFtbBx4aI8tWg3hc4BCXTdfEI4RsUMj1oH6vNLOhO-7L65QWw8MV_Gt8VQbAxPa5iK9WeRUbhJw3xSGRwipvTMw3gzI3MCdIxojhROYH4WZsaAF_1IOXQlaW/s1600/IMG_4118.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535077947192997330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYj6G0w_R6XUk2MUfQQHn8qFtbBx4aI8tWg3hc4BCXTdfEI4RsUMj1oH6vNLOhO-7L65QWw8MV_Gt8VQbAxPa5iK9WeRUbhJw3xSGRwipvTMw3gzI3MCdIxojhROYH4WZsaAF_1IOXQlaW/s320/IMG_4118.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 206px; width: 320px;" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

I guess writing is a way of coping with the 'not so pleasant' moments that life throws our way. It's supposed to be sung to the meoldy of 'Born A Star-by the Waldner Messengers'...with a few altered twists or whatever you want to call it. It was a little difficult to write it to that melody and get it to flow smoothly because the first verse has 6 lines and the others 5. And I don't know if it's a big deal that I used 'I' in the verses and 'we' for the chorus, but it made sense at the time. Now sing it for me and send me a recording..haha.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:100%;" >

I just can’t get my brain to slow down enough. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:100%;" >I think it's going to be like every other holiday- I'll enjoy at least one or maybe even two days of it and then I'll go crazy without the constant bustle of school and preparation for the next big project. The worst part of it all is breaks are when I actually get time to THINK- and that's scary, really, really scary! :)

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">To Do:</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">-Finish embroidering border on my dress</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">-Plan a Spring theme for school</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">-Plan a Social Studies Unit (if I'm really ambitious)</span>
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">-Sew Human Rights Quilt for school </span><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:100%;" >Now I just need encouragement to get all that done. I’m sure could add more but that’s what came to mind at the moment. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;font-family:times new roman;"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-size:100%;" >I couldn’t bring myself to make my students do work on the last day before spring break. Actually, truth is I was tired and decided we’d have a fun day. So last night I wrecked my brain for a fun activity to do and I decided we’d make Easter Bunnies out of clay and Model Magic. Of course, I gave them the ‘Easter bunnies have nothing to do with Easter’ speech first and then we were off. They did a super job and they look so cute. I got the idea from <a href="http://madimaginations.blogspot.com/2010/03/fimo-tutorial-challenge-card-and-blog.html">Madimaginations</a>. She made hers out of fimo instead of clay. When we were done I sealed them with a layer of Modge Podge (awesome craft glue) and the kiddies proudly took their Bunnies home. (Mine is the 3rd one from the left)
