My kitchen was a loud, chaotic mess with my four girls running around when God dropped a thought into my head, “call Rachelle.” The command from the Lord was obvious and actually very loud considering the activity going on around me. But I pushed the thought aside telling myself I would call later- perhaps tomorrow. …

Now you have my attention. . .
Truth be told, how much does it matter if the Chiefs have won and it’s a Super palindrome on Super Bowl Sunday?
Cell phones are the devil. . .

Silent Monkey
I love to play a game on the first days of school called “Silent Monkey.”
SYNSYSN Days 21-30
One way to improve student achievement- on my end anyway- is to improve me, so for these last days of prayer for the next school year, I am praying through Romans 12. (I am going to work on memorizing the chapter this week as I pray.) Day 21- God help me be willing to sacrifice for…
Days 17-20
One of the hardest students to teach is the lazy one– you know, the one that won’t even pick up his or her pencil. Over the next few days, I am going to pray for the student that has a propensity toward doing nothing. Day 17– Father, help each student to not be a sluggard:…
Days 15-16

SYNSYSN Day 13
My heart plummeted today when a friend mentioned checking students’ test scores. So I’m not going to lie to you, I’m praying like crazy today (as I did everyday last year) that my students will have exponential academic growth. SYNSYSN? Days 11-12 SYNSYSN?-Day 10 Days 3-9: Should your next school year start now? Should…
SYNSYSN? Days 11-12
With Father’s Day approaching, I feel it’s important to pray for my students who don’t have a father. Day 11- I’m praying that my students will know God as a father. Day 12- I’ve actually had students whose father was absent because he was in prison. I’m praying for every dad in…
