Five Minute Friday: Together

Greetings from my blog! I hope everyone is having a  fantastic Friday! I am joining Lisa-Jo and other bloggers from around the world for Five Minute Friday. A time where bloggers can come together and write for five minutes. Todays topic is TOGETHER.

Begin

Following Christ is much like a three-legged race. This came to me today watching my students do three legged races today during our fun day. If a three legged racer gets ahead of his partner they stumble and fall. This is how the Christian life is, and serving Christ. If I get ahead of where Christ wants me I can stumble and fall in my Christian life. If I walk directly with Christ I will be exactly where He wants me to be. I might still stumble and fall, and when I do Christ is always there with me to help me up, and help me get back to where I need to be to finish the race.

Done

Fall (according to Kindergarten)

It is amazing what gets done in class when your kids are being well behaved. You get things done, and get to do extra fun learning activities. Today we had time to write a "spider web" story--with the topic being "fall."
I am trying to do a writing activity or two with my kids this year. I was surprised at some of my kids answers! 

Here is the spider web story they wrote:

Starbucks Friday

Almost two weeks without Starbucks.....having coffee only ONCE this week...yes I was craving some. It worked out for my to get some Starbucks today! (yay me!)

I admit...I got a Viente and enjoyed every single drop of my Pumpkin Spice Frappuchino

Can't wait to dig into this!!! 

Five Minute Friday: Ordinary

It is amazing how God uses ORDINARY people to serve Him. He chose some simple fisherman to be his apostles. He told a lady at the well about Christ. He healed ordinary, poor sick lepers. He raised the dead and healed the sick. These people didn't live in mansions, have nice horses (or donkeys)--they lived simply. But yet GOD still used them. I want to be like these people--an ordinary person that God can use for Him to serve Him.

I am an ORDINARY single girl full of life serving the Lord. I hope though I am making an EXTRAORDINARY impact to those around me and making a difference.
