Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I have been saying I was going to Ohio for the past eight weeks, and I finally did. I have a topic for a new song. This morning some students from the band that my cousin plays in at school played at my uncle's church. I had a chance to talk with their director before church.
"Christa is one of my favorite students," she said. "She's a good friend."
I thought, this is a person who really needs something. I found her talking with my aunt in the sanctuary after church. "Sometimes I think things will be okay," she said, "but then something has to destroy it. I just have to go to church on Sunday and listen to Amy Grant and hope things will be okay."
"I'm thankful for teachers like you," my aunt said. Erin started to cry. She wanted so much to make a difference in her students' lives, to give them a little strength and hope. She wanted to see them become mature, satisfied adults. She was feeling the same discouragement I have seen so many teachers feel. I cannot forget to pray for her. We need more dedicated teachers like her.
My aunt said it's neat that Christa has a teacher who prays for the students. "Sometimes I feel like all that's left to do is pray," Erin said after we had all had lunch together.
I am a member of Lighted Path, a directory of Christian diaries.
