Today we gathered for our Pause + Pray Call, and I wanted to encourage you to take time this week to return to the replay and let God continue strengthening you in this last quarter of the school year. As you move through your classroom and your week, take intentional moments to: - Remember that God is still at work and still strengthening you - Allow Him to help you navigate every challenge — no matter the size - Deal with what God reveals to you, and deal with it with Him - Have an ear to hear what He is saying — even if it means switching something up in this final quarter Sometimes the help we need doesn't come the way we expect it to. But God is standing right there, ready to be in it with us — we just have to allow Him, and not dictate how the help comes. 🎧 If you weren't able to join us live, you can watch or listen to the replay in the Classroom tab.

God is with you, He is strengthening you, and He will carry you through. 💜

This week we’re choosing praise over complaining and I’ll be honest, this one challenged me too. Watch this and let’s do it together. 💜 I want to encourage you just as I am encouraging myself: When you feel frustration… pause and praise. When things don’t go as planned… pause and praise. When you’re tempted to complain… pause and praise. 💬 Drop in the comments: I am choosing praise over complaining 💜

Last week, we prayed for renewed strength to keep going. This week, we’re focusing on shifting from complaining to praise. When the opportunity to complain comes up, let’s be intentional about turning those moments into praise. As you move through your week: ∙ 💜 Praise God daily 💛 Invite Him into your day 💜 When complaining rises up, turn it into praise 📖 Scripture Focus: Philippians 2:14 (AMP): Do everything without murmuring or questioning [the providence of God] Psalm 150:6 (AMP): Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) 🙏 Prayer Focus: Heavenly Father, help me to walk throughout this week without complaining. When I feel the urge to complain, help me to shift and give You praise instead for who You are and for what You are doing. In Jesus Name, Amen. 💜 Drop any prayer requests below—I’d love to pray with you.

When I was writing the prayer focus for this week, this song came to mind: “Hope” — Jonathan Traylor It reminded me that no matter what we see, we can put our hope and trust in God. Even when things feel uncertain, God is there. As we keep our eyes on Him and His Word, He steadies us. The whole song is a blessing, but these lyrics really stood out to me: “What I see won’t shake me ’Cause I’ve got hope keeping me steady…” No matter what this season looks like, we don’t have to be shaken. Hope in God will keep us steady. And when thoughts of doubt, fear, or insecurity try to come up, that’s when we need to rebuke those thoughts and replace them with God’s Word—what He says about the situation. God has a solution for everything we are going through. 🎧 Take a moment to listen when you can—I pray it encourages you the way it encouraged me.

Hey everyone 💜 I wanted to share a quick update for this month’s Pause + Pray Call. With Easter and a few special things happening at the start of the month, we’ll be gathering a little later than usual: 🗓 Sunday, April 19th This will be a time for us to come together, pause, and pray—starting with praying for ourselves as we continue through this season. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or just needing a moment to reset… this space is for you. More details are coming soon, but for now, go ahead and mark your calendar. 💜 I’m really looking forward to this time together. ✨ If you know another teacher who could use this, feel free to invite them into the community—we’d love to have them.
