My Destiny – an acrostic
M oving mountains through prayers of faith.
Y oking my life with the Lord Jesus Christ.
D elving deep into the mysteries of the Bible.
E scaping the snares of the evil one set up to trap me.
S inging praises of worship to my King.
T eaching His Word to His children.
I nstilling a love for words to my students.
N ever giving up on my students despite what I see and hear.
Y elling and shouting the Truth about these end times to all who will hear.

Excellent acrostic, my darling sister-in-Christ! I suspect this might have been posted at A/P, as well. You just keep up that “yelling and shouting” of God’s Truth while remembering that the goats are incredibly louder: standing firm defeats them in the end.
By the way, I noticed your poems below: the stanzas are single spaced, which is how I would want them. However, I can’t get this system to do that, despite having pasted the poem from my MSWord to the post box here. How did you achieve it?
Much love and hugs, SisBon
As I am also a high school English teacher at a Christian school in Panama, I am excited to find a fellow teacher and believer on wordpress! I have recently started a blog called Christian Teacher Forum in order to connect all of us as Christian teachers together–whether you work at a Christian school or a public school, I would welcome your insights!
Shot in the dark here. I’m searching around the internet for Christian teachers, looking for someone who might have a vision for helping to start a Christian school for poor children in Nepal…..any suggestions?
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
