An Easter-less April? It's odd, right? April usually comes bedecked in bunnies, eggs, and chicks, but not this year. This year, I suppose we'll switch to colorful umbrellas, smiling raindrops, and bright yellow flowers. Regardless, April remains coupled with Easter for me. What is your decorating theme this April, leaders? Will you stick with bunnies and chicks or will you change your theme? The truth is, your learners care less about the decorations and more about where you're leading them. So keep leading them to goodness and truth.  And if you want to sprinkle in a little JOY, we have a few ideas we hope will help you.

There are a lot of things about March that are not fair: like cold weather staying around when we're ready for warmth; like the radio announcer talking about summer when it isn't yet spring; like preparing learners for state testing when there are so many other things you would rather be teaching. But, I suppose, what is fair is a matter of who is judging. This March, I want to challenge you to resign from your position as Supreme Judge in the Kingdom of You and reinstate God to His rightful throne. Afterall, He is the only one qualified to truly judge fairly. It might mean handing your hurt to the healer and letting Him work. It might mean releasing your anger to Him so He can turn it to good. It might mean embracing the JOY in overwhelming circumstances because you choose to rest in His presence through them.  If you are determined to bring JOY into your home or classroom, even when you don't really feel like it, we have a few ideas for you. Our March 2024 offerings inclu

Leaders! It's cold here!! Is it cold where you are, too? Even though it is cold, we are finding warmth in sticking with our 2024 goals and even making new ones. We want to encourage you in keeping yours (and even making new ones), too. And, we want to remind you that what you pay attention to, matters. It shapes your thoughts, which shape your attitude, which then affects what you spend your time on, and how you treat others. So, we're gently suggesting that this February you spend time thinking about what you are focusing on and how it is affecting you . Then, if needed, make some adjustments.  If one of the things you'd like to focus on is bringing more JOY into your home or classroom, we have a few ideas for you.

That chill in the air that signals autumn's arrival is one of my favorite things about this time of year. We're headed to the mountains this weekend and are hoping to see some fall foliage, hear elks bugling, and connect with God by escaping the distractions of life. It is so needed. How do you relax? How do you remember there is more to life than the demands for your time? We're praying this month you reconnect with activities that bring you peace and reprioritize what truly matters.

With two weeks of school now under our belts we can safely say we still don't have it all together. I've been frantically leveling books and throwing together PowerPoints while the Mr.'s been trying to keep his cool (Literally because of the lack of air-conditioning.) while learning new curriculums, new students, new teammates, and a new school. I wonder, will we ever coast through the beginning of a school year or will it always start in a rush? What about you? Have you started yet or are you still in preparation mode? Whatever stage we find you, we are praying for you to find peace in the chaos and hope for your frustrations.
