the 'curse'

I prayed over my dough as it rose today... twice.

I am not even slightly superstitious... sometimes I open umbrellas
indoors for fun. Yet a strange experience ... a continuous
phenomenon... I can't bake. Muffins, oatmeal cookies, pumpkin bread...
these stand in the can collum (sp) ... everything else.... failure. I
mean just about everything. Bread comes out hard or undercooked, salty
or lumpy... regular chocolatechip cookies.are crumbly... and now my
growing insecurity remain to be affecting my casseroles... hard
potatoes crunchy noodles... I have even tried measuring ingredients
super exactly, and reading recipes entirely before beginning.... would
u believe I do actually like baking?!

So maybe its a curse...... ...

Nah

back on the grid

Since my last post I have locked myslef out twice but overall the
habit has improved. I have added history teacher to drama/after care
in the past month. I'm learning lesson plans and integrative teaching
on a pretty steep curve but it's going well. I'm working with Jr.
Highers and have been blessed to realize they can be funny and
sincere.

I'm writing from my phone so I will finish up. I'm learning a lot...
about surrender, and being light... learning to listen and encourage
all over again very much like its the first time.
