Trials and Triumphs

God is amazing. As my student diligently work at their desks and help their classmates practice a new math concept I just taught, it furthers enforce in my mind that I am indeed a great teacher. I have learned in the past month that satan will try to work through people in order to get you down. It's unfortunate that I have been dealing with that on a daily basis. Everyday, he tries to attack me using the same few people that I am forced to interact with everyday. However, my faith is strong and I have stayed grounded in the word lately. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.

It's amazing to have people say, "OMG I just googled you....this is amazing." I am truly humbled by this experience. Who would have known I would have my first publication at such a young age. Most recently I wrote an email to be apart of an online magazine on a weekly basis. The response I got last night from the editor warmed my heart and I think I am going to take this opportunity. I have a lot to say about so many issues and I think it would be great for me to expand my network and writing skills.

I wanted to take a second to acknowledge the tragedy that has plagued our people in the past few weeks. The killing of Trayvon Martin is something that cannot go unaddressed. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything." I encourage everyone to support every initiative they see. My prayers go to the families and friends that were affected by this tragedy.

Lastly, as I close this chapter in my life and so many more open, I am truly grateful for all the support my friends and loved ones have shown me. UnSeen Thoughts has been a blessing in my life and it feels great to know that someone is being changed and motivated by my words. God is amazing. Live through me, learn with me, grow with me.
