Jesus Will Wreck Your Life

Jesus Will Wreck Your Life Today

Here is a message for all of Creation
The tears that cease to flow today 
Come from the profound realization 
His great love will always find a way

You may be lost and wandering astray
The mountain of broken and so many sins
This darkness you feel is just another day
Always looking for quick fixes and wins

Maybe trusting others has made you wary 
Your heart is shattered beyond repair
The darkness overwhelming and scary 
And your shame has grown too big to bear

If this is the face of your daily strife 
He can destroy this sad existence
Jesus will completely wreck your old life 
And build one of hope-filled persistence

Jesus will wreck your life today

He will seek you out and pursue you
This is a God who will never stop the chase
You may run and evade but He knows you
And Jesus has more than love He gives grace

Jesus will wreck your life today

He will find you in the corners of darkness
He will surround you in the battle you fight
He will hold you when you feel all is a mess
His heart is seeking you, morning and night 

Jesus will wreck your life today

He will tear down the walls you have built 
The ones that keep the message of fear within
He will pick you up where you have fallen or knelt 
To pour out your pain, your darkness, your sin 

Jesus will wreck your life today

When you see His grace is already there 
You do not have to lift a finger, just let Him in
A message of forgiveness His scars will share 
For a new life inside of you may now begin 

Jesus will wreck your life today 

He will show you hope that is not just a word
He will change your view of the world around 
His voice of compassion is the greatest you've heard
For your life will never be the same once Jesus is found 

Jesus will wreck your life today

He will give you the kingdom view 
The one that breathes new life into your heart 
And forgives and forgets the old you 
For when you are His you have a clean new start

Jesus will wreck your life every single day
If you let Him hold you through the pain and sorrow
Turn to Him in adoration and pray 
Jesus, I am yours, so wreck my life today

Wrestling to Make a Difference

Blow the dust off your yearbook, and take a walk down memory lane with me. Take a look at all those shining faces filled with promise, potential and hope. I scan these images of my past and let the memories wash over me. I wonder how many of us imagined we would be where we are today. I cannot help but notice that there are many faces I have not seen since high school, and I do not know where they are or what they are doing with their lives. It is amazing how time flies and how easy it is to lose touch with those we spent everyday with for so many years. There are friends I never thought would become memories, but sadly I have lost touch with them. This is life of course, and we all grow up and move on eventually. Yet, as a teenager you dream big, and see life with a sort of hunger and fire we tend to lose as adults. We think we will never grow old, we are invincible and we will always have one another's back. I was privileged enough to attend a high school in a small tow

School Lunch

I love lunch at school, but not for the same reasons I enjoyed it as a child. As a kid, who loved to eat, I could not wait until lunch because it meant a break from the monotony, something warm to fill my belly, and time to read my book.  However, now that I am a teacher I enjoy lunch because it gives me an opportunity to reach out to my kids, and to have conversations outside of the normal classroom environment. Some teachers do not want their lunch time interrupted, and this is completely understandable.  Honestly, there are days when I could really use some down time to "stew" in my office, void of any noise. Days when I would enjoy being able to block out the world for 30 minutes and read a book to relax. However, there never seems to be enough time to connect to my kids or their families, and lunch is a perfect opportunity to squeeze in those few extra relational minutes. Having time to meet with my students during lunch is not something I just decided to do one

The Moment I Became A Teacher

I know the moment when my life changed forever. The details of the last few minutes of “normal” are etched in my memory, and after 23 years the images have not faded.  I was skipping with my classmates to “Skip to My Lou My Darling,” when the secretary came into my first grade classroom and asked me to follow her to the office. I still remember the somber look on her face, and how long the hallway seemed as she stoically escorted me to the front doors. I was scared, and I was trying to rack my brain for any inclination of what I could have done wrong to get sent to the office. I was a good kid, and never did anything “bad.” In-fact, I hardly ever talked, and had never had problems with anyone in school.  When I saw my aunt standing by the front doors, I sighed with relief and smiled.  However, whatever relief I felt at seeing her standing there was short lived because I could tell something was wrong. It was a long agonizing few minutes as she quietly deferred my quest
