Raise your hand if you’ve already started back to school🙋🏻‍♀️ One of my favorite things about my job is helping teachers whether they’re back in school, teaching virtually, or somewhere in between ♥️
Loved working with some teachers from a previous district to create this digital calendar & math warm-up set (for PowerPoint & Google) 🙌🏼. It’s 25% off in my shop using the code BTS2020 (link in bio).
Wherever you are in your BTS journey, I’m praying for you and wishing you the best! 😘

This is 41.
Today I’m welcoming this new year like it’s my job 🙌🏼. There’s a crazy confidence that comes with age. A confidence in knowing exactly who you are and WHOSE you are. A confidence I can’t explain (but if you’re already in your 40’s you know exactly what I’m talking about)

After 41 years, I’ve learned that...
✔️Validation is only for parking
✔️Acceptance is reserved solely for self
✔️Forgiveness is a non-negotiable
✔️Judgement isn’t a personal responsibility
✔️Listening is required
✔️Joy can be found in “missing out”
✔️Happiness lies in the simple moments
✔️Family is everything
✔️Friendships can be seasonal
✔️My worth isn’t defined by the numbers on a scale or social media
✔️Integrity is invaluable
✔️Vulnerability is freeing
✔️Hustling and busyness are overrated
✔️You can’t please everyone, so focus on pleasing Him instead
✔️Somebody will always dislike you, so don’t change who you are and how you think to accommodate their expectations of who they think you should be
✔️ All feelings are valid
✔️You don’t have to agree to be kind
✔️ Cancel culture isn’t kingdom culture
✔️ Grace (for yourself & for others) is a MUST
✔️Business should NEVER come between friendships
✔️Money isn’t everything and having more of it doesn’t mean you have it better
✔️Passive aggressive comments say more about you than them
✔️My journey is only mine to understand
✔️ If it costs you your peace, it’s too much
✔️It’s better to be unplugged than tuned in
✔️Ignorance…in many cases (not all)…truly is bliss
✔️Revenge is stupid
✔️Regret is worse
✔️Honesty is everything
✔️Silence is necessary
✔️More isn’t always better
✔️The grass is only greener where it’s watered (or filtered, if you know what I mean)
✔️Contentment is where it’s at
✔️True Joy can only be found in Him
🏔Oh..and mountains over beach ANY day 😜

Hey y’all 👋🏼 I know the B2S season is upon

Hey y’all 👋🏼 I know the B2S season is upon us and I promise I’ll get back to teaching related posts and things soon, but for now I’m spending time recharging my batteries. Taking time to pour into myself and my family so I can pour into you (dear teachers!) when I’m back home. I wish I could say that spending this time being disconnected has given me clarity. Or even some profound words of wisdom or encouragement to share. But I’m still searching.

There are so many impossible decisions and scenarios we’re all facing right now. Whether you’re a teacher or a parent (or both), our minds are scrambling in a million different directions and life is just heavy. Nothing seems right. Or fair. Or conscionable. Everything feels so surreal.

I just wanted you to know I’m praying for you. Praying for your protection and peace. For wisdom and discernment. For understanding and grace...ALL the grace. For each of us. Because right now we need it ♥️

In a culture where we’re quick to cancel and con

In a culture where we’re quick to cancel and condemn, I’m grateful for a God who lavishly gives me second chances. My mistakes are plenty, but God doesn’t want us living in places of shame. He calls us out of condemnation and gives us grace upon grace instead.
I don’t deserve it.
I never will.
But I’m grateful He refuses to give up on me, rather relentlessly pursues me instead.
Despite my faults.
Despite my mistakes.
Despite my ignorance and disobedience.
He’s a God of second chances who doesn’t keep track of our shortcomings or failures. He just keeps on giving us chance after chance, time and time again. His love is patient...and kind...and never, ever ending♥️.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” Great is your faithfulness.” - Lamentations 3:22-23
