So Proud of my Little Boy

Since August I have been working with this little 2nd grade boy that acts like a 3 year old most of the time. It was a big deal today when he danced with the whole class during 2 songs! It was a big deal because we had to work up to that since August so he finally did it. He danced to the months of the year song and a counting to 100 song that was Christmasy with Santa dancing. He also wouldn't listen to me so I went on my break. When I was walking away for break, I heard him starting to cry. That's a 1st for him too. He never cried if I just walked out the door. He was also spitting at me so that is another reason I left. We are making progress one day/month at time. His mother just had a baby boy last week so this might be reacting to that too this way.

The Passover

God's patience is running out.

From now on we are looking to Jesus.

My Short Story of Living for Jesus, Not for Man

Look at the 3 invest principles 

-People over positions 

-Serving over being served 

-Self sacrifice over selfishness 

Then read my short story below:

Look into SMSU because big brother went-big university in state and family

Mom mentioned CofO and started to look into that-small college back then

Not smart enough for SMSU but made it into the small college of CofO

Start Elementary degree

Not math genius 

Start Child development degree

Childcare field first

       -Helen Walton Center

       -Little Sunshine School

Then after school care in one city

Again childcare field

          -Posh Tots

          -Northwest Arkansas Headstart 

Then public school one on one in another city

Taking more college classes for kids with disabilities-NWACC

CofO is national known now and people love people from there as workers

Do you see those 3 principals in my story?

Love

“I LOVE PEOPLE”

Series: “Living the Abundant Life” - Message 3

Mike McDaniel, Lead Pastor

Mark 12:31-34

31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There

is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe

said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one,

and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the

heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to

love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt

offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered

wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And

after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

BIG ROCK #1: Knowing God

BIG ROCK #2: Loving people

Two realities in loving people

1) Love happens in messy relationships. Embrace the mess.

2) Love happens in meaningful actions. Roll up your sleeves.

KNOWING GOD gives you SUBSTANCE.

LOVING PEOPLE give you SIGNFICANCE.

Embrace the mess.

Jesus Embraced our mess and loved us. We need to do that for others. Love others in their mess.

Love happens in the mess.

You don't feel you way into action, you act your way into the feeling.

           For now I have the fullest life because I can show your love in the best ways and it is where I want to be right now. My dream job for now as a Paraprofessional. 1 on 1 with a speical child. I was making mudpies at Headstart because of the money I was getting there but now I am living in a seaside villa compare to that. It's not just about money. It's about loving people and the job. You always had something better for me. I just needed to listen to the people around me and I finally did. You were using them in my life. I have an abundant life now because I have substance and a significance to be in this job.

Abundant Life gives:

substance – Knowing God gives us a substantive life.

significance - Loving People and Living Sent give us significance.
