Mission Field or Battlefield

I know I only post when I have prayer requests. It has been a long year and a half going to school for my Masters and working full-time. I have one week of college work left then a comprehensive exam and I will have earned my Masters in Special Education.

Special education has led me to my mission field of helping students daily. Most days I love it but there are some days I wonder why.

The school that I have been placed at is a rough school. A very rough school. It is not only my mission field but a battlefield for spiritual warfare.

I cannot go into specific details because I have been very open in my blog about the area I live . I will tell you that I need all the prayer and annointing that I can get from everyone. A lot of things have happened this month that could have ended badly but God has shown his favor on me , my co-workers and our students.

Please continue to pray for me and all students that I encounter. Teaching is a tough job.

Prayer

There is not an update on the last prayer request yet.My mom called her but she could not talk right then and she did not call my mom back like she said she would.

New prayer request....

I work with some students that have real problems. Our lives were easy peasy when you hear what they have faced.....

This student that needs prayer...we will say his name is...N....N is an orphan in all reality. He has lost both parents and is in foster care. I do not know all the details. I do know N is a mouthy mouth. N must have the  last word. Sometimes I fight N about the mouthiness and last word, sometimes I do not because the battle is huge. N was quiet yesterday....very unusual for N....extremely unusual for N.....I asked if N was ok, he said yes. I asked again later if he needed to talk , he said no. So, I prayed for N...right there in the classroom, I silently prayed for N.

Today I saw N and he was in a better mood. I told him I was glad to see him in a better mood. He told me that someone he is close to was diagnosed with cancer. I told him that I prayed for him. He paused. I asked if it was ok that I did that. He responded with " why wouldn't it be". Then gave me a big hug. N does go to a local church, I asked . N also told me that he was told those who have heavy trials down here will have big mansions in Heaven. I told him that Heaven can only happen if our hearts are right with God. (I can't go but so far in school unless asked.). He told me he knows Jesus and is active in a fairly well known local church.

I have days where I wonder why I am at this particular school.....N is why. As a friend told me this afternoon....that school is your mission field.

Prayer

I need my prayer warriors to pray for my co-worker. I was placed in a God moment today....a moment that can only be God. This co-worker out of the blue shared with me that she had lost her son over the summer. I had no idea. I also rarely talk to this co-worker except in passing. It was so out of the blue that she told me this that I was astounded.......I was able to tell her that it was God that brought us into that room together because if my family's loss. She asked if my mom could call her and talk to her soon. Please pray for this co-worker and my mom to have the right words to minister to her.

Update

For those of you that have read my blog for many years know who the crazy lady is from years back, She passed away this afternoon after battling dementia for years. This was my mom's last member of her original family.


For those of you that remember all the antics she did to my mom through the years will understand my sarcasm......Of course ,she passed away today, we were away on vacation. She went out of this world with an antic played on my mom one last time.

My mom was always good to her regardless of what was played on her.


We were leaving NY tomorrow and heading to Hershey this weekend. Now we are heading home.

Pray for our travels. I dont like driving over 5 hours in a day.This is a 10 hour trip.

Some good news:

We have been in Cooperstown , NY at the elite baseball camp for 12 year olds. We came as a family last Friday. We witnessed his team go 5-1 in seed play. Get ranked 13 out of 104 teams, then go on to two tournament games...Plus we witnessed him get his first and second home run ever. Great week for him and I am glad we could see it.

Cat funny!

I have to share this funny...

My cat loves ice cream. The only human food he eats is ice cream and rice pudding. He gets just a little bit. I do have to tell you that he can be asleep and know we are eating ice cream.

So yesterday , I bought a Dole Yonana Maker. I love it so far.

Well tonight I did frozen pineapple and frozen banana. I shared it with my mom. Here enters the cat. He sees the spoons and bowls and thinks we have ice cream. He keeps going back and forth between us. We let him smell it then he walks away and goes to the other person. He finally gave up and sat in the middle of the floor with this puzzled face like we are so mean and he is so confused.

He better get used to it.

My take on the election.....

I do not talk about political things. It is a big can of worms. I do have to say something. I am sorry if  it is offensive. No, I am not sorry. Here is my opinion..........


THIS COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE NO MATTER WHICH WAY WE GO!!!!!!!!


OK. Political rant over.


TRUST GOD NO MATTER WHAT!!
