Sunday Night .... Monday is on its way.....


Bonjour my fine, feathered friends:

HaHa That's how I talk to my students. I use all sorts of neat names like (the one above), chicks (girls), fellas (boys), peeps (my class), lil peeps, etc. I love being a unique teacher.
I just wanted to drop in a few sentences and let you guys know that I want you to spend special time in prayer in the next few months for Danielle's family and friends. November is going to be a hard month, but God will see us all through it. I pray that God will just really guide Verna, Danny, Hannah, Derek, and Gran through these next few months. He's been faithful thus far and I know that He will continue to be. Just remember them in your prayers. Also, remember Hannah's boyfriend Matt, he is a new Christian tonight. He was saved in church today and I was so glad that he made that decision. Hannah is such a beautiful girl and though I don't know Matt, he seems like a good guy. I am so glad that thats one more thing that they have in common and can enjoy together.
I also would like to request prayer for Michael's home church pastor Brother Gardner Gentry of Victory Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He has really been an inspiration to Michael and his family. He has been doing mission work in Africa for about 6 or 7 years (something like that) and he has contracted sicknesses there before. This time he has been poisioned by arsenic in which they use to wash their clothes in Africa to rid parasites that is in the water there. He accidentally was exposed to it and inhaled it. He has ulcers from his mouth all the way down his throat to his stomach. He is in bad shape and he needs prayers.
Also, remember Hannah still. According to her journal, she is fighting hard still. Remember my former student "T" and his family. Pray for God's hand to be upon them as he walks through this ordeal. Pray for pastor Charles Jones from Riverview Baptist also.
Lastly, remember me. I want to continue to grow in my faith. I want to be more bold. It sadens me that we are so bold about things that we believe passionately in, until it comes to Jesus. I feel like even though I am bold in my faith, I'm not bold enough. I'm not doing the job that I could do for God. Like Garry Bingham preached Wed. nite, any job we have on earth is provided by the Lord. We are working our jobs for Him! I am teaching for Him. There are stippulations at the workplace, especially for me since I am in public education, however, God uses us regardless. My students know my beliefs, I don't force them upon them. I don't preach to them daily, but they know. They SEE Jesus in me. They read my blog! They message me online. They know my faith. I pray that I will always have Jesus shining through me for the world to see. I pray that my students will be saved and will be able to lead their family and friends to God. According to the world, it will never happen. With God, I know that it will!

Love to all,
Alesha : )
