She Speaks Truth

I take a few minutes to look back over the last three school years so that when I look to this one, I see it in the full light of all that has and is happening. Where does your hope and rest come from?

As I make plans for the return to school and I am striving for positive relationships and actions, I want to work to create a school culture that is full of love and acceptance. We do this 30 seconds at a time. Find it it how we can each create a positive difference in our life and others.

As I prepare to go back to school, I am thinking more about my role in bringing positive energy to the students and my fellow staff members. I reflect in something I read in Jon Gordon’s, The Energy Bus and close with a blessing.

As I am journeying on a road trip with my husband for the past week, we have been striving to find rest…through food, drinks, music, reading and sleep. I pray you are able to find rest for your body, mind and spirit.

When you come in contact with others, whether at the check out of Dollar Tree or at your job, do they feel they have been seen, heard and loved? Christ spent time with people, all people and He was the ultimate love, walking, talking, sharing a meal…He loved and saw the people around Him. We can do that same thing and He calls us to do just that every day.

In America, we celebrate our freedom and Independence Day here on July 4th. What does God say about our independence and should bring self sufficient be our ultimate goal?

Am I the only one that lets little things bother me and stop me from loving others well? How do we get past the little things that bug us and love each other well?

For those that have a loving earthly father and for those that are looking towards our Heavenly Father as an example if true love and sacrifice.

Are you letting discontentment, unmet expectations, comparison, or disappointment steal your joy and happiness? I know I can at times. What can we do to move from focusing on ourselves to others to find happiness that lasts and live a full life?

Are you looking for hope and peace during these times we are living in? Me too! I am focusing my 55 days of summer of 22 on rest, laughter, and time with people! Join me at my Facebook page, The Care Circle, as I journey through summer with you and share your own stories of summer fun.
