am I strong enough?

I am studying the effects of divorce on the academic achievement of children and it's heart wrenching. Last term I studied intimate partner violence (IPV) and just listening to all of these dreadful things happening in the world and I ask myself, am I strong enough to be a teacher?

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Isaiah 40:29

He is strong enough in me.

let knowledge serve the city.

So I haven't blogged in over a month but it has been a busy term! I am finally in the CFS program, so I have been focusing a lot of energy on researching and figuring out the field. I should graduate next Spring and start graduate school next summer. I am so grateful to be a female and to have the opportunity to go to graduate school! Sometimes I give feminists a hard time, but I truly am grateful for everything the women did before me so that I can be here now.

I'm having a good term. My term theme is: Plan Ahead. I've never had a term theme, but it's working very well!! This term has been great as far as learning. I am really learning this term, rather than racing to get something done or cramming for a final, even in my geology class! I am very grateful for my current position in life.

I've been chugging along making and selling earrings. I am selling through facebook and through friends and peers. Here's my facebook page. Just comment on a picture and I'll get it to ya!



much love,
Abbi Joy.
