My Blog...

I have read blogs for a few years now, been apart of a prayer blog for two years, and never wanted my own blog until recently. Being a freelance journalist, I enjoy writing and would love to pursue it more, even with my new teaching job. So many friends have asked me to blog, but the time has come, and the time is now...

I am going to be teaching a class entitled "Journals" at Cedar Christian Academy where I am the Secondary 4 homeroom teacher, and I am to encourage my students to blog. To be a good example, I should blog as well, so I am beginning before school starts next week.

My title, "The Rapids of Life," has some kind of relation to my topsy-turvy life since my father passed away June 23, 2008, and also relates to Proverbs 18:4, which says, "The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. " The theme at Cedar this year is "Seekers of Wisdom; Sowers of Seeds," and I think this fits in well with it!

I am signing my posts "Miss Buenacasa," because that is the name my students will address me by, and I have always found that even if I call my blogging buddies by their last name, their first name comes to me first because it is the one they use on their blog. I want my students to be more at ease calling me by my last name, especially if what they read is the same as what they hear me called at school.

I pray my writings are an encouragement to you, my reader, in your walk with the Lord.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. -Colossians 3:16
