Generation Y

Learning is a life long journey! It's been 8 months of learning for me at Mast Academy. Since it's the end of the year, I thought I would journal about the inspiration I've been given by so many of these kids. When I came into this, I had no idea the education I would get concerning this generation. They have a pretty awesome school here, that I feel I was blessed to be a part of for a short time.

MAST stands for Maritime And Science Technology. They take such courses as marine science, oceanography, solar energy, rowing, windsurfing, wood shop, swimming, web design, environmental writing...the list goes on. The courses offered here are mostly AP and these kids have amazing talent and creativity.

But if you don't pay attention, they will whiz right by you...this generation is fast about everything they do. They don't know life before cell phones, ipods, myspace, self-checkouts, the Internet....I just have realized how much has changed since I've left HS, and have basically been forced into another world I didn't know existed?? (if that makes any sense)
It has taught me to get out there....continue learning, and learn something new......don't become complacent, no matter where you are. There's so much out there to discover....


What or who inspired you today? Have a beautiful day!!

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
