Am I thinking before I speak?

I have had the privelage of talking to my jr. high girls about our speech. What is your speech like? How do you talk to others? Are you building up people? Does your speech tear people down? Do the things you say bring glory to the Lord?

Proverbs 31:26

" She openeth her mouth with wisdom: and in her tongue is the law of kindness." The Proverbs 31 woman thinks before she speaks. She doesn't just blurt out the first thing that comes to her mind. Even when people are unkind to us, we need to be kind to them. Are you being kind with the things you say?

Ephesians 4:32

"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Are you being kind one to another? Are you treated them as Christ would? Are we quick to forgive those who are unkind?

Psalm 19:14

"Let the words of my mouth.... be acceptable in thy sight..." Are you words, the things you say to others, are they acceptable to the Lord? Do they bring glory to His name?

Before you Speak:

THINK!

T- Is is true?

H- Is it helpful?

I- Is is inspiring?

N-Is it necessary?

K-Is it kind?

I know, it has been a really long time since I have posted. A lot has happened since I last posted. Things are going great and God is so good! I am no longer teaching at the school in northern Michigan. I enjoyed my two years there and all the relationships that were made. I loved my church family too. I am very thankful for all of the things I was able to learn from my time there.

However, I felt the Lord had something else for me. In June I resigned from that teaching position. I prayed about going to another school in Southwestern Michigan. The Lord made it very clear to me, that that was where He wanted me to go. I moved in the end of July. I have had a great year! I teach kindergarten all day on Mon., Wed., and Fri. I have a wonderful class...4 girls and 1 boy. The Lord is so good! This school is an ACE school. (Accelerated Christian Education) So, on the days that I am not teaching kindergarten, I help in the learning center. I also have the privilege of teaching the junior high girls devotions class. That is every Tuesday and Thursday. It has been a blessing! I am thankful for each one that the Lord has blessed me with!

I am going to try my best :) to blog at least once a week. There is so much that the Lord does for me daily!! I want to be a blessing to you, so I will try to share weekly.
