Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teachin

Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teaching Journey! Today let's pray for ENDURANCE!

I know how hard this season can be. Between class parties, choir concerts, special projects, festive treats, and other things that disrupt your normal routine it can sometimes feel frivolous to teach under such circumstances. Today we're going to pray for endurance to keep going and finish 2022 strong.

-Pray for patience and endurance during this holiday season. Some days are so fun and some days are really hard. Pray that the Lord would give you strength for each day and each situation. Pray that He would give you supernatural patience when a student is particularly disruptive.
-Pray for joy and laughter. It can be easy to bicker when students are full of sugar and lacking sleep. Pray that they would enjoy each other’s company, focus on your teaching, and have fun during the holiday season.
-Pray that you would not give up. Even when a day doesn’t go as planned, pray that you would bring these struggles to the Lord. Then pray that you would return the next day, refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way!

This week’s verse is from Colossians 1:11: “We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience."

It can be so easy to get wrapped up in what goes wrong in a given school day. I encourage you to write five things you’re thankful for about your day/classroom/students every day after school. You’d be surprised what gratitude will do to lift the spirits!

My husband and I were talking about vacation memories: do you go back to the same place each year or do you try somewhere new each time?

Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teachin

Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teaching Journey! Today let's pray for ENTHUSIASM!
We’re at that point in the semester when we’re past fall break and ready for Thanksgiving break. The excitement of a new school year has passed and we catch ourselves daydreaming of Christmas vacation. It can be easy at this point in the year to get too comfortable in our routine and forget to infuse joy and enthusiasm in our day-to-day tasks. Children feed off our own energy, so let’s enter our classrooms excited and happy to start the day!
-Pray that the Lord would give you renewed perspective as you start this next week of school. Pray that He would give you the energy you need to face whatever difficulties you may face with students and their parents this week.
-Pray that the Lord would fill your own students’ hearts with joy, too! Pray that your enthusiasm is infectious and gets your students ready to tackle whatever the day has for them.
-Pray that you would be filled with fresh ideas for your classroom and routine. Pray that you would wake up excited to share something new with your students. Pray that you would savor every kind word and gesture your students extend - there are always more than we realize!

PSA to parents of young kiddos who like to dress up: Every year I shop Halloween sales (Sam’s, Target, and Wal-Mart) to find costumes for 75-90% off and give them to my kids as Christmas presents. 🎃🎄👌

Happy Reformation Day! It's the day we remember an

Happy Reformation Day! It's the day we remember and celebrate Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg in protest against the abuse of indulgences in the teaching and practice of the Catholic Church. Luther believed that all believers should be able to read the Bible for themselves, giving them direct access to the Truth of Scripture. Luther's courageous actions ignited a movement, starting the Protestant Reformation. I have taught kids ages 4-12 about Martin Luther and Reformation Day – and you can too! These print-and-go resources are perfect for busy Christian school teachers, Sunday school leaders, or homeschooling parents - these are great alternative activities to do on Halloween. Leave a comment if you're interested in trying them out :)
