Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teachin

Welcome to another week of Prayers for the Teaching Journey!
>>Today let's pray for REST<< Phew - What a school year! Definitely not what we envisioned for 2019-2020, am I right? For most of us, our lives were turned upside down and we had to pivot our well-laid plans, change the way we teach and invest in our students, and adapt to a new way of life, day by day, sometimes even hour by hour. I know it's been challenging. Exhausting. Unprecedented. For many of you, this school year has left you feeling overwhelmed, dissatisfied, and inadequate.

Maybe it's time for a rest.

And I don't mean a nap.
I don't mean an afternoon spent on the couch binge-watching your favorite Netflix show.
I don't mean a vacation getaway (because honestly, where can we even go right now?!?) I mean TRUE REST - take time to unplug, log off, and de-stress. Find rest in reading God's Word, renewing Your mind, and filling your cup. The WORST thing you can do for yourself and for your students is go back to school in the fall already exhausted and burnt out because you did not take the adequate time to truly rest and recharge.

How do we find true rest? Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Are you weary, dear teacher?
Are you burdened?
Come to Jesus, the One who controls all things, and He will give you sweet rest.

Summer is the perfect time to dive into God's Word and find rest for your soul! Easy ways to do that:
*Join a local church - this is VITAL for your spiritual growth!
*Use a Bible reading plan (Bible Gateway has a ton of great options: http://bit.ly/BibleGatewayReadingPlans) *Read a devotional book
*Join a Bible study (there are lots of local and/or online options)

Thanks for joining me for this year of Prayers for the Teaching Journey. I have SO enjoyed the privilege of sharing these prayers with you and lifting up your burdens to the King of Kings. ***This will be the last weekly prayer prompt - We’ll kick off the new year July 22nd. Mark your calendars!

Clark is a shark with zing, bang, and BOOM. Clark

Clark is a shark with zing, bang, and BOOM. Clark zooms into school, crashes through the classroom, and is rowdy at recess. Clark loves life—but when his enthusiasm is too much for his friends, Clark's teacher, Mrs. Inkydink, helps him figure out a way to tone it down with her words of wisdom: there is a time and place for everything. Sometimes the rule is to "STAY COOL!"

My hubby and I started a new tradition during this quarantine - for the hour before we go to bed we turn off the TV and read instead. I have read 11 books since mid March! 😍📚🙌🏻

My little man turned five this week and decided he was ready to learn to read! We’ve been working on letter sounds and sight words. He loved completing this color by sight word apple - and was so proud that he did it all on his own. 😍🍎👍🏻
