Preacher’s Wife Teaching Life

Whether you're at the ⛰ highest point in your life or the ⚓️ lowest valley, God has already 🔨 worked out something for your 🌺 good.   There's no need to 🤨worry about what comes next as long as you 🙏pray about your future and 🙋🏻‍♀️seek God in your decisions. Have 🌈hope as you figure out His intricate plan for your life.  “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” R omans 8:28   Part of His intricate plan is new opportunities! If you’re at the end of your 🎣rope, you're in a 👍good spot! When you've reached the end of 🤦🏻‍♀️yourself, the only (and best) option left is God.  Whether you've run out of 💡ideas, 💵money, 🤭options or ⏰time, God already had something 🤲prepared for you. Last year, I was working part ⏱time as a junior college 📐math teacher. We had reached a point where we were out of 💵money and 💡ideas but my school was...

My favorite way to get rest is to curl up in my 🛋 recliner with a ☕️ homemade caramel macchiato , my 🐶 yorkie and a good devotional or the 📖 Bible. To me, hot ☕️ coffee means I have to sit down and take about 20-30 minutes to enjoy. It’s a forced rest time for me that I desperately need every single day. Part of my unwinding includes reading God’s word. His word lights my path and gives me the wisdom and hope I need.  • Mark 6:31-32 says, “Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and 🛏 rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many 😝 people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to 🥖 eat. So they left by 🛶 boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.” • Following Jesus’ example and resting in a 🤫 quiet place just makes sense. How do you prefer to find rest? … At 💒 church, my hubby called a time for 😴 restoration through 🙏🏼 prayer. Taking the time to shut down the 🧠 thoughts and outside 🌎 worl...

Aren’t we so blessed to live surrounded by God’s 🌼 artwork 🌼 ? One of my favorite things to do is go 🌸 outside 🌸 and enjoy 🌳 nature 🌿 as God made it.  • We love living in the 🌻 country 🌻 and looking out over His beautiful 🌵 handiwork 🌵 every day. You can feel it on your 😀 skin, smell it with your 🌼 nose and 👀 see it with your eyes.  • He is incredible in all His splendor. For example, do you know how your 😀 senses can 💥 spark 💥 memories? The 👃 smell of cinnamon reminds me of Christmas, the 🎵 song, "Lucky" reminds me of my wedding day, and the feel of 👖 sweat pants reminds me of high school track.  · God's 🌻 goodness 🌻 is more powerful than all our senses combined. · A bad thought or memory can be wiped 💦 clean 💦 with his truth. An already good memory can be made 🍎 sweeter 🍓 with his perspective.  · Within the last year, God has changed the way I feel about going to the 👁 eye doctor. I used to dread going beca...

In the weeks that have passed since I’ve last written, I have been learning so much. Mostly, I’m learning about thankfulness. I talked about this around Thanksgiving and how I didn’t want to use one holiday to be thankful...I wanted to practice being thankful everyday. Since then, I’ve been receiving some lessons in this area.  What I’ve realized is that I DO indeed have a lot to be thankful for! While I don’t have EVERYTHING I’ve asked for, I certainly have everything I need and so much more. As I look over the course of my life, it’s easy for me to see how well taken care of I am by God, my family, my friends and my husband. I often times take the things that are part of my “normal” for granted. For example, electricity!  A couple weeks ago, the county I live in had an ice storm that caused trees to snap and power lines to fall to the ground. With the power lines went the internet and the cell phone towers also froze over. My whole world crashed! I knew I relied on ...
