This Friday, instead of classroom wins, let’s pause and celebrate Jesus and all He has done for us from His birth to His resurrection. Feel free to share anything below. 💜

Today we celebrate the greatest gift of all the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As you spend time with loved ones, may you be reminded that His love, peace, and strength are with you in every season both the joyful moments and the challenging ones. As we move toward the new year, I wanted to gently share what’s ahead for our community: 💚 Sunday, January 4 — our monthly Pause + Pray Call ❤️ January 5–11 — the 7-Day Teaching With Jesus Prayer Challenge Both are simple, grace-filled spaces to help you reconnect with God as you prepare to step back into teaching. No pressure today—just something to hold in your heart. 💜 More details coming soon.

So much good work has been done through you this school year more than you may realize. Even on the challenging days, God was present and working through your faithfulness. This week, give yourself permission to: • Reflect on what God has done • Release what you were never meant to carry • Rest without guilt 💜 Friendly reminder: God is with you, and you don’t have to hold everything together on your own. 👉Reflection: What is one thing you’re choosing to release this week?

As we move through this week, let’s intentionally release what God never asked us to carry. Teaching, life, and other things we do can quietly pile on weight but God invites us to lay it all down and rest in His sustaining care. This week, pause and ask yourself: What am I still holding that God has already told me to release? Let’s read, pray & meditate on: 📖 Psalm 55:22 (AMP) Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail). 🕊️ This week, I’m praying that: - You release worry, pressure, and unmet expectations - You experience God’s peace replacing heaviness - You remember that you are upheld by God, not your own strength 📩 Share your prayer requests below — I would love to pray with you as you release and rest in Him this week.

Even on the weeks that feel heavy, God is still moving. He strengthens, guides, and gives us grace for every step. What’s one thing God did in your classroom or heart this week? 💜 A calm moment 💜 A prayer He answered 💜A student who made progress 💜 Something that lifted your spirits Let’s celebrate together — your testimony is someone else’s reminder to keep trusting Him. 💛
