@EmilyAPaschall Admin needs to verbally tell 1st year teachers (& all their staff) that teaching is NOT THEIR TOP PRIORITY. It is just a career. Your health, your family, your life comes first. They need to be supportive when life happens & comes before teaching. They need to remind them often.
“But Jesus never talked about sexuality and gender.”
[A thread] 🧵
I often hear this phrase thrown around flippantly as a defense for embracing an “anything goes” approach to LGBTQ+ issues
But it’s not true. Jesus did speak clearly about human sexuality and God’s design.
Join me in praying for:
Damar Hamlin’s full recovery.
Peace for his family and loved ones.
Wisdom for Doctors and physicians in contact with Damar right now.

Just another let down for the teachers of South Carolina. You say you appreciate us, but have yet again proven otherwise. We are public servants. We are public servants in the state of SC. We should be included.
I have signed a bill into law that grants paid parental leave to our state employees. We’ve worked for years to see this bill come to fruition and it will greatly help us to recruit and retain talented employees, improve morale, and show our appreciation to these public servants.
God is working things out. He’s not far away. He is right here with us. We need to cling to this hope. Believe this hope. Live out this hope. Even if our prayers aren’t answered in the way and the timing we want. Even when this process feels messy. We will trust that God is good.
Dear Lord, I trust Your plan and believe that You love me more than I can even fathom. It may be a hard season, but I'd rather be close to You through a thousand difficult moments than apart from You in a thousand good ones. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Father God, I confess that sometimes I forget to remember Your faithfulness from the past, especially when I am overwhelmed with unpredictable things in front of me today. I don't know exactly what tomorrow will look like, but I do know who I'll be looking to — You, Lord.
Hold on to this truth today, friend…
God loves you too much to answer your prayers at any other time than the right time and in any other way than the right way.
Let’s go ahead and decide right now that we’re going to choose to do things God’s way tomorrow and the rest of this week… no matter how much our flesh may complain. Because there’s nothing more powerful than a person living out what His Word teaches.
I know how hard it can be to wait on God when you want to move forward and you’re seeking His guidance.
But while you wait on His answer, don't lose confidence in His goodness. Be strong. Be patient. Cling to His Word. And keep trusting in His unfailing love.
God already stands in our future and sees the very best route for our lives.
We don't have to figure everything out. We just need to stay close to Him.
Lord, help us make peace with the fact we will disappoint people. Help us make peace with the fact other people will disappoint us. And give us the perspective that not every disappointment is epic.
