This article contains Amazon Affiliate LLC links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases (which do not increase your costs). Why I Started the Routine of Sabbath Breakdown. Chaos. Mental overload. Tears. These are the consequences from a lack of rest for me. Like the real rest that leaves me feeling refreshed and ready; not a quick 7 hours of sleep and feeling drained at the start of the day. In fact, those consecutive days of 7 hours…

Why You’re Not Boldly Teaching As A Christian (And What You Can Do About It)

Why You’re Not Boldly Teaching As A Christian (And What You Can Do About It)

How to be a Christian Teacher in a Public School? It’s a struggle. My mouth. The number one struggle in the classroom impacting my students would, without a doubt, be my mouth. It’s loud. We chase rabbits down deep, deep holes (and sometimes we don’t make it out). For some I am too direct, too bold, too “extroverty”. I dig group discussions, group projects, and noise.

Contentment and Dreams: Seamless Week 2 with Study Guide

Contentment and Dreams: Seamless Week 2 with Study Guide

I really love the story of Joseph, it’s what encouraged me to start writing. Joseph shared two dreams with his brothers and as an only child, when I first read the story I really didn’t understand why his brothers got sooooo hostile about it. Then I spent some real time around siblings and it all came together. Joseph, insecure about being the youngest or emboldened by being the favorite or both, shared his dreams to shake things up.
