The one with feeding baby thoughts.

I sit here nursing the Bebe, trying to get him to sleep, I can’t help to reflect on all the things God has been teaching me recently. I think about things a lot while nursing. Because, yes it’s such an incredible bonding experience, but it’s also a quiet time of peace for this mama.

I can’t help but wonder, how am I doing? Not as a mama, but as Elisa. How am I doing as Elisa Hernandez? It’s a weird question but I’m often wondering about it.

Too often I’m just going through the motions.

Too often I’m left sinking in the shadows of what my mission is here on earth.

I want more than anything to persue my mission here on earth, which is clear to me as a Bible believing follower of Christ: make disciples.

What would happen if all those who claim the name of Jesus started acting upon the mission God has called them too? What would happen if we stopped just taking from God, and gave back to Him in our efforts? God doesn’t need us and yet He chooses us. What if we stopped putting God on our priority list and just made GOD our ONLY priority? The Bible says to seek Him first, what if we did that?!?

We should look totally different from the rest of the world- but we mostly just blend in. We live, love, and act like the rest of the world. People should see our lives and ask questions.

I’m not calling out all of us. I’m mostly calling out myself. But I’m praying if you’ve felt convicted, you change! Join me in being a RADICAL follower of Christ rather than just a casual follower.

Well, Leo is asleep.
Good night.


Don't mind my mane.

The one where I'm socially awkward.

I never know how to act around people I just met. Or barley met. Or hardley know. Most of my close friends couldn't stand me the first time they met me. Yes, this includes the love of my life, a Mr. Elias Hernandez. But I guess it goes back to high school...... Insert flashback noise from Waynes World.....no? Moving on. I was a terrible person back in high school. I mean wow. Just awful. My mouth is what got the best of me. Either horrible rumors and gossip behind people back, or snarky sarcastic remarks in front if people I was MEAN! Whenever I met someone, I could not look past their faults. Anyone. If I saw someone I would automatically think of something I don't like about them. It was bad. Eventually I let God take care of me. By the end of senior year I had done some damage control and cut some fat from my friends. I ended up with only 3 friends at my high school. Yup 3. That's it. Love those three girls. You know who you are. So, in letting God get a hold of ...

The one with the really fun English teacher.

I've discussed the mom thing enough. You're probably like "Okay. We get it. You're bad at this. Move on." Will do! Let's discuss something I am relatively okay at: teaching. This is currently year 5 in the classroom for me. I've been at my current high school for 3 of those years teaching mostly 11th grade English, (every once in a while they like to throw in a sophomore or a senior group). I love this class. The age, the content, the behavior, the literature- everything. This is my sweet spot. I honestly have been sitting on this blog post for over 4 weeks now, in this exact spot. I have NO idea how I want to shape this blog or even begin to talk about my love for education. Management? Content? Students? English? Parents? Environment? Professional Development? There are literally so many things to talk about with education, that I've had the worst time narrowing down what it is I want to discuss in my first education themed blog. I w...

The one with stuff I wanna do.

Basic list of stuff I wanna do. No I'm not trying to be like Buried Life. Except that I am. 1. Finish school. Yes it might seem like something that's "Eh," I have now concluded to the fact that school  is not working for me. I am not a good student. At all. So there ya go. 2. Put a ring on it. Or have him put a ring on it. I could go on for days about my wedding, and more impotantly being married. But, everytime I talk about it go wayyyyy overboard. So movin on. 3. Learn to be good with babies. Yes I can work with kids. Pretty much any age after 2, I got this. Babies....ahhhhhh. 4. Learn to be Susie Homemaker. I wanna knit, sew, cook, and what have you. I was going to say have a clean house... But who are we kidding. I just know be a super creative and awesome wife and mom. 5. Be a teacher. I've been super discouarged lately about my teaching and educating abilities based on the mere fact that I am such a horrible student. My logic is, how on earth can...
