I wanted to share with you two wonderful speakers that touch my soul and help me through my journey with Jesus Christ our Lord! You can find them on YouTube. First one is Pastor Rick Warren and speaker Priscilla Shire (main actress in War Room)

As a father of 6 and a former school administrator, I listen more carefully to his podcasts because I think he speaks with authority and experience.

Today is a day to begin that.

So many challenges for sure! One thing I’ve been learning to do lately is to ask God questions when I pray and then be still and listen. How He responds is different but He often brings thoughts to mind. I think too often we assume an answer to our prayers is an event or a change in our circumstance, but maybe God wants to have a conversation with us, to teach us something in the midst of the challenge….. To answer with His voice before He changes our circumstances

I’m not perfect, but headed in the right direction. I struggle with waiting – when you say the same prayers over and over, but God doesn’t answer. His answers may be different than what I intended, still some response is better than the silence I often feel. Why doesn’t God answer? When will my circumstance (whether it’s difficult student, an unfair task from Administration, or personal) change? Why do I always have to focus on children with negative behavior (because I have to give consequences), leaving me with little/no time to consider the kids who are doing the right things? Why is there always a challenging student(s) who color the whole atmosphere of my class? All of this is exhausting.

I am now teaching full-time, and I am not keeping my priorities straight as far as putting God first. There just isn’t enough hours in the day, and I realize that occasional devotions and hurried prayers do not get me to that close relationship with God. I know I cannot do life without Him, but I cannot seem to get myself beyond this pattern I’m in.

Trying to keep my focus on the author and finisher of my faith some days is really hard.
