walking

My devotional the first day back to school prompted me to pray for my principal. I also was led to pray about my attitude and that it be right regarding teaching, etc. I did not want to be sucked into the grumbling, discontent, being upset about large class sizes, and speaking ill about administration. God really helped me do that! I had a wonderful 2 days of working and my spirits stayed jubilant and content. I pray I can continue to be like this...to be sensitive regarding gossip, grumbling, and hearsay. Lord help me.

My devotional: "Jesus walks with you. Are you walking with Him? Do you fulfill God's purpose for your life? Do you seek a life of peace? Do you intend to be a Christian, not just in name, but in deed as well?"

"Whoever is not willing to carry the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who try to hold on to their lives will give up true life. Those who give up their lives for me will hold on to true life." Matt. 10:38-39 NCV
