Hey everyone! ❤️ I want to apologize for being absent from the classroom today. I think I overdid it Friday working in the high school cafeteria. I absolutely loved it, but whew, my body sure felt it afterward! 😂 I've spent most of today resting and sleeping, trying to give my body a chance to recover. Starting tomorrow, I've got four straight days at Walmart, and those shifts always take a physical toll on me. Sometimes you've just got to listen to your body and give yourself permission to rest. I'm learning that the hard way! Lol. I haven't forgotten about y'all. I'm just taking a little time to recharge so I can keep going. Thank you for understanding! ❤️ I love you all so much...

❤️🦋 Friday October 23, 2026 Scripture • Prayer • Devotion Ephesians 5:25-27 (NIV) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of marriage and the love that holds two people together through the years. Today, I lift up my daughter Morgan and her husband. Lord, You know their journey, the happy moments, the hard days, and everything in between. Keep guiding their hearts toward You and toward each other. Help them never get so caught up in everyday life that they forget the blessing they have in one another. Fill their home with patience, laughter, understanding, and peace. In Jesus' name, Amen. ❤️ Brothers and Sisters, Looking back at my daughter's wedding pictures reminds me that a wedding is one beautiful day, but marriage is something you work at every day afterward. There will be laughter, disagreements, bills, responsibilities, and days when you're both just plain tired. That's real life! But love isn't only about how you feel when everything is going right. It's about how you treat each other when life gets difficult. Keep God in your marriage. Pray for each other. Forgive each other. And don't forget to laugh together. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. Stacey Brooks / TheGo2Stacey

🦋❤️ Thursday October 22, 2026 Scripture • Prayer • Devotion 📖 Psalm 11:3-4 (NIV) “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them. 🙏 Heavenly Father, Thank You for another day, Lord. Another chance to get things right, love somebody a little better, and remember Who's really in charge. Father, there's so much happening in this world that sometimes it's hard to know what to think anymore. Things we once counted on don't seem so certain, and people are struggling to make sense of it all. But Lord, Your throne hasn't moved. You haven't lost control, and nothing happening down here has caught You by surprise. Help us not to get so caught up in everything going wrong that we forget to keep doing what's right. Give us clear minds, steady hearts, and the courage to stand by what Your Word teaches, even when it's unpopular. And Father, when we don't understand what's happening, remind us that we don't have to understand everything, just keep trusting You. In Jesus' name, Amen. ❤️ 🦋 Brothers and Sisters, Have you ever looked around and wondered what in the world is happening? Wowzers! I think we've all had those moments. People are arguing, families are struggling, and sometimes it feels like everything that used to make sense has been turned upside down. But here's what caught my attention in today's Scripture. God is still sitting on His throne. Not pacing back and forth wondering what He's going to do next. He is not confused about what's happening. And certainly not surprised by the mess we humans manage to make that's for sure! Psalm 11 reminds us that even when the foundations around us are shaking, God's authority hasn't changed. Now, that doesn't mean we sit back and do nothing. We still have responsibilities. We still have choices to make, people to care for, and wrongs we shouldn't ignore. But we don't have to let fear make those decisions for us.

🦋 Wednesday October 21, 2026 Psalm 11:1-2 (NIV) "In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: 'Flee like a bird to your mountain. For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.'" 🙏 Heavenly Father, Lord, some days it feels like trouble comes from every direction. People say things, situations change, and sometimes we don't even see what's coming. But You do. Help us recognize when fear is trying to make our decisions for us. Give us the courage to stand firm, the wisdom to know when to move, and the faith to trust You through it all. Keep our hearts right, even when others don't have good intentions toward us. In Jesus' name, Amen. ❤️ Brothers and Sisters, Not everybody coming against you will announce themselves. Some things happen behind your back, and some battles you never saw coming. But here's what I want you to remember. God sees what you don't. You don't have to spend your life looking over your shoulder or worrying about what somebody might do next. Stay faithful, use the wisdom God gave you, and don't let fear run your life. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does.

🦋❤️ Tuesday, October 20, 2026 Scripture Prayer Psalm 10:16-18 (NIV) “The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.” 🙏 Heavenly Father, Thank You for waking us up to another day and giving us another opportunity to show Your love. Lord, today I'm thinking about the people who feel forgotten. The ones who are struggling quietly, trying to hold everything together while nobody seems to notice. The children who need protection, the families carrying burdens they never expected, and those who have been mistreated by people who should have known better. Father, You know every one of them. You know their names, their circumstances, and the prayers they haven't even found the words to speak. Please give them strength where they're exhausted, courage where they're afraid, and the help they desperately need. And Lord, when You put someone in our path who needs kindness, don't let us be too busy or too distracted to recognize it. Teach us to love people the way Jesus taught us to love. Not just with words, but with what we actually do. In Jesus' name, Amen. ❤️ 🦋 Brothers and Sisters, There's something powerful about Psalm 10:16-18. It reminds us that God isn't sitting up in heaven unaware of what's happening down here. He knows. He sees the people being pushed aside. He hears the cries that nobody else seems to hear. And He cares about the ones this world sometimes treats like they don't matter. But here's something else I want us to think about today. How often do we ask God to help somebody while overlooking an opportunity to help them ourselves? Now, I'm not saying we can solve everybody's problems. Lord knows we've all got enough of our own! But sometimes a phone call, a kind word, a little patience, or simply standing beside somebody who's struggling can mean more than we realize.
