When our obedience intersects with God’s faithfulness, amazing things happen.

From my innermost being these words rise to my Father:
“Your Presence Is My Greatest Need; My Greatest Possiblity; and My Greatest Joy. Daily You Invite Me To Drink From The Rivers Of Your Pleasures.”
With all that is within me, I say, “Thank You Father!”

Obedience to God will always lead to the abundant life. Disobedience to God will always lead to death.

[Increase Chisom • Website Developer @chisomincrease]

Sometimes you don't need another prayer. Sometimes you just need obedience. You can't pray your way through disobedience

Are you rooted in your love for Jesus or have you lost sight of your first love?

[Bobby Grow @cum_granosalis]

The main thing is to love Jesus. The only reason this impossible is a possible, is because He first loved us.

We need friends

We don’t have a classroom management problem.
We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle.
Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into:
• de-escalating trauma
• supporting anxiety and depression
• calming panic attacks
• breaking up fights
• being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted
• being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team
And at the same time…
we remove the very things that actually help:
• recess
• movement
• art
• play
• connection
Teachers aren’t trained for this.
And they shouldn’t have to be.
Classroom management was never meant to do all of this.
It’s about:
relationships
rules
routines
responsibility
That’s it.
It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide.
And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools,
teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.
