Netflix Comedy Specials

June 28, 2018 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Recently, within the last year or so, I've gotten pretty into watching the comedy specials available on Netflix. They're a great way to mix up The Alienest and How to Get Away with Murder type stuff I like to watch. (But seriously, did you watch The Alienest?! It's Criminal Minds in 1896 and it's awesome. … Continue reading Netflix Comedy Specials

Note to Self 6

June 22, 2017June 22, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

We all have something to offer. Everyone knows something you don't know. You have something to learn and receive from every single person you meet. Don't miss that. Pretend that the words you say about someone directly influence their actions. If you speak negatively about someone, especially behind their back, you will be looking for … Continue reading Note to Self 6

Not *That* Kind of Diversity

June 17, 2017September 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

My favorite thing about YouthWorks is that it throws together four or five individuals who might never in any other context find themselves spending significant time together. YouthWorks takes these four or five individuals and tosses them in a mini van to drive to a place they've probably never been before to live and work … Continue reading Not *That* Kind of Diversity

Vast and Amazing and Unimaginably Ginormous

May 22, 2017September 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I'm at a YouthWorks training this week. People from all over the place are going to work together this summer. We come from different states and regions. It turns out people in the South handle conflict differently than people in the East. And this is important! And it helps us grow. I am so grateful … Continue reading Vast and Amazing and Unimaginably Ginormous

Thirteen Reasons Why

April 17, 2017May 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine shared an article on Facebook that was called something like, "Dear Girls, Stop Wearing Bathing Suit Bottoms that Show Your Butt," or something ridiculously lame. (I just Googled "dear girls stop wearing" and there is a freaking website called dearblankpleaseblank.com which just exists to tell people … Continue reading Thirteen Reasons Why

Tea parties, make up, and how we’re all okay

April 10, 2016 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday our church hosted a women's tea party. Every small group was in charge of a table and since our bible study leader was in the States during the planning time, I was put in charge of decorating a table for the tea. So I looked around my apartment and said, "Well, I've got a … Continue reading Tea parties, make up, and how we’re all okay

Representation

February 18, 2016February 18, 2016 ~ Suzanne ~ 2 Comments

I remember last year when the movie Home came out. I really wanted to see it because it featured a little girl who looks a bit like so many of the little girls I have taught and loved over the years. I was especially excited when it came to theaters in the Dominican Republic, so … Continue reading Representation

In my classroom

January 21, 2016January 28, 2016 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Every day 38 students, in two groups of 19, come into my classroom. (My very small classroom.) They come in excited and chatty. They come in with a lot of questions and stories and kisses and comments. They come in and they sit down and we get started. Every once in a while, while the … Continue reading In my classroom

The Church

December 31, 2015December 31, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I grew up going to "an old fashioned Bible believing Baptist church." I asked Jesus into my heart by way of the Romans road in a King James Version Bible. I would and will tell you that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him shall … Continue reading The Church
