My husband was in a car accident yesterday, and we are still at the hospital. Please keep him and our family lifted up in prayer, for healing, guidance on the next steps, strength, and peace. If there is something you are carrying right now, I would love to pray for you too. Share your prayer request below, or message me privately if that feels better. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1) Thank you for standing with us. 🙏🏾

I’m sharing a few pictures from a difficult day in my classroom at the end of September because sometimes the reality of what teachers are carrying cannot be explained in words alone. These pictures only show part of what happened that day, but I chose not to share any images that included the student. Over the past couple of weeks, God has been reminding me of something I am still learning: I can trust Him and still ask for help. I had prayed, used the strategies I knew, documented, redirected, and kept trying. But eventually, I had to speak up more and say that I needed more support. And I’m glad I did. Has everything completely changed? No. This week has still been challenging. But I have seen an increase in support, and I’m grateful for that. It has been a reminder that sometimes part of trusting God is following His lead when it’s time to speak. Trusting God doesn’t always mean staying silent. Sometimes it looks like praying, being still, or waiting. And sometimes it looks like using your voice. The important thing is allowing God to lead. In this season, I’m learning to pray, listen, and then move as God leads. Even if that means speaking up. So if you are in a stretching season, pray, listen, and follow His direction. If He is leading you to speak, don’t be afraid to use your voice. And be willing to receive the help He sends, even if it does not look exactly like what you expected. Reflection: Is there something you have been carrying quietly that God may be leading you to speak up about or ask for help with? Feel free to share below if you’re comfortable. 💜

Kingdom Teacher, This week, God met me with a simple reminder: do not fear. Not because nothing hard is happening. Because He is near through it. Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee." A prayer for you: Lord, when fear tries to rise up in me, remind me that You are near. Strengthen me where I feel weak. Help me where I don't know what to do. I release control and trust You to hold what I cannot. In Jesus' name, amen. Drop it below, I would love to pray it with you. 💛

Kingdom Teacher, It's been a little over a week since I've posted here. On September 12th, I preached my very first sermon at my Ministerial Licensing Service, and it turned out to be a beautiful service. I give all glory to God. One thing that stayed with me since then is how much we try to carry on our own, when we were never meant to. 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP): "Casting all your cares, all your anxieties, all your worries and all your concerns, once and for all, on Him, for He cares about you with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully." A prayer for you: Lord, I hand You what I have been carrying quietly, the worries I have not said out loud and the ones I keep replaying. Teach me to release instead of grip. In Jesus Name, Amen. What is one thing you're choosing to release to Him this week? Drop it below, I would love to pray it with you. 💛

This week, let’s pray for God’s guidance as we journey throughout the week. That regardless of what comes our way, we will not allow it to get the best of us but we will pause and allow Him to lead us along the right path. And remember, let’s praise Him in the midst of it all. 🙌🏽 I also want to share something with you as you head into this week. One of the worship songs at church this Sunday was Waymaker, and I thought about this week and said to myself this is what I have to remember at all times. God is our way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness at all times. Even when things don’t go the way we planned, even when it doesn’t line up with what we have been praying for remember who He is. 💌 Drop your prayer requests below and let’s pray for one another throughout the week.
