No Writing This Wednesday

I wasn't able to write today.  I was so tired.  Just took a nap.

I may not be able to write on Wednesday for a couple of weeks.  I have to get back in school shape.

School's In Session!

Well, it's official.  The 2018-2019 school year has started.

Posting here will be limited, but I'll post when I write.  I plan on using Wednesdays as my writing days.

Here's to a BRAVO 2018-2019 school year.

-------- -------- -------- -------- --------

Thank you so much for praying with me.  I’m expecting this school year to be amazing.  It will have its ups and downs but continue believing God for what we have prayed for this year.  Encourage all those who are a part of the education system, whether they be students, teachers, administrators, or staff.  We all need your continued prayer.

Blessing for 2018-2019.  I’ll see you in class on Tuesday.

This is the year of BRAVO!!!

Let’s close with the song “Bravo” by Ledisi.  We WILL be SAYING BRAVO a lot this year!

Scripture:

Your eyes saw me before I was put together. And all the days of my life were written in Your book before any of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

He answered me, “I am all you need. I give you My loving-favor. My power works best in weak people.” I am happy to be weak and have troubles so I can have Christ’s power in me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Prayer:

Lord, we pray for a successful school year.  Let it be a year like no other.  Guide all the educators so that they do their best work.  Lead the administrators so that they do their best work.  Direct the staff so that they do their best work.  Encourage and influence the students so that they do their best work.  Be the Guiding light that they all need to do everything the need to do.  Let this be a year where expectations are met far and beyond what was expected.  Let this year be filled with good success.  Thank You. Amen.

Lord, we pray for a safe school year.  Lord, keep our children from all danger seen and unseen.  We cover them with the blood of Jesus.  We ask that You encamp Your angels around them.  Please keep the educators, staff, and administrators safe from all hurt, harm, and danger, seen and unseen.  Be in the school with them.  Lord, and if anyone has a desire to do harm to or at a school, please stop them from doing so.  Let 2018-2019 be a year that we do not hear any horrific stories of school tragedies, on all levels of education.  Let this year be a year of peace.  Lord, let there be no tragedies this school year.  Keep everyone calm, safe, and peaceful.  Thank You.  Amen.

Scripture:

Do not let yourselves get tired of doing good. If we do not give up, we will get what is coming to us at the right time. Galatians 6:9

Prayer:

Lord, we pray for counselors at all levels of education.  They have a hard job, trying to be fair to students, teachers, and parents.  They must answer to the administrators, as well.  Give them how to work with everyone that they meet daily.  Give them wise words of wisdom that will encourage and benefit everyone they encounter.  Let their energy be boundless, their love be endless, and their temperament be fruitful.  Give them a heart of love, a tongue of calming truth, a mouth of genuineness, a mind of honesty, hands of tenderness, and ears of attentiveness. Let them know when to speak, when to listen, and when to act.  Be their guide and compass as they navigate the school year.  Thank You. Amen.

If you know of a counselor, please take a moment to thank them for the work that they do.  Also, take a moment to pray with them one-on-one.

Let them know when to speak, when to listen, and when to act.  Be their guide and compass as they navigate the school year.  Thank You. Amen.
