Open Pages

Open Pages is my personal blog site. It's a collection of my thoughts, insights, memories and lessons learned. I want to share this blog to my friends and family. You can give feedbacks too when you want to.

Name:

Hello. My name is Mildred. I am an educator with more than 14 years of experience. I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with concentration in Designing Digital Learning in Schools at George Mason University. I am also a mommy to two beautiful young children. Since becoming both a parent and an educator I have always been looking for ways to continually nourish the mind of my children and students. In my experience, I discovered that there is no status quo when it comes to mind development. It is either growing or slowly deteriorating. So it has been a daily quest for me to creatively provide nourishment of the mind.

On Working and Giving

Today's proverbs talked about working in order to provide for our own needs and the needs of others who depend on us. But this should not be the end of our purpose for labor. We should also be able to share and give to the needy and the weak who needs our support and help. We must not forget to give our tithes on top of everything else.
--> work and labor
----> faithfully give our tithes
------> support self and family
----------** save for rainy days, manage money well by not spending more than I earn
--------> give to others
----------** time, money, friendship, service

Dear Lord, help me to be your instrument of good deeds and blessings.
