Happy New Year Friends! This is what I’m currently doing on the first day of the year…

Listening to my washer spin as I blog away, I do not know why, but hubby woke up EARLY this morning and is doing laundry!

Loving CROSSFIT, exactly a month ago my sister took me with her to a free class and needless to say I fell in love with crossfit, Dear yoga, I will come back…. I promise!

Thinking… I am a thinker, always thinking, and this morning I woke up thinking about this upcoming year. My plans, my hubby’s plans, our kids, we all have dreams, wishes, ideas, and thinking about how it will all roll out! Praying and Expecting a fruitful and happy year!

Wanting, Biscochos!!! No one made biscochos for Christmas this year and I have been craving them since then. I pulled up a recipe from online yesterday and they came out OK, they look pretty… taste, not what i was expecting, but still good. Check them out in my IG account here, I had so much fun baking them with my 4 year old daughter! “Mommy, it’s like playing with play-doh!” Those are the moments I truly live for!

Needing COFFEE!! I thrive on Coffee, and it’s still brewing. I love how it makes my kitchen smell. Now only if coffee tasted the way it smelled 🙂

One little word: LOVE, love God, love myself, love my family, love my job, and love those around me!  This is what keeps me grounded and rooted. Something we all need, especially in today’s  society!

Speaking of LOVE, who doesn’t love a good giveaway, especially a TPT $30 gift certificate? My friends Suzy, Amy, and I, from On the go Teacher Mama and Albuquerque Amy and Academics are hosting a New Year’s Blog Hop, giveaway, and freebies.

      Happy New Year Lorraine, loving the coffee IV idea….. I can drink coffee all day, even at night right before bed and still go to sleep. That Caramel Brûlée sounds good, I've never had one! Getting one today for sure! 😉

    I'm so happy that my husband does laundry too! Isn't it wonderful?!?
    Loved your IG post about baking with your little girl! I had to look up biscochos because I wasn't sure what they were – and now I totally need to bake some! They look SO YUMMY!
    LOVE your word LOVE!!! It truly does make the world go 'round! Happy New Year!

      Hi Pamela, it is amazing when hubby's help! This past week I made a meme with Kim Kardashian's crying face about how no one in the family made biscochos for Christmas and my mother in law sent me a link to a recipe! LOL!! So, I decided to try it, they had the flavor, but not the texture. Biscochos are so good if they are made just right! Happy New Year! 🙂

In Matthew 14, we encounter one of the most famous In Matthew 14, we encounter one of the most famous stories about Jesus, the miracle of walking on water. We read of Jesus strolling across a stormy sea to reach his disciples in distress. 

Peter, who can hardly believe his eyes, calls out to Jesus: “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” Jesus commands.

Peter obeys. He steps out of the boat, takes a few shaky steps, then catches sight of the waves. That’s the moment when his fear overcomes him, and he begins to sink. “Lord, save me!” he cries.

Although Peter did doubt, and although Jesus did chastise him for his lack of faith, Peter was the only one who got out of the boat. 

Do you know who didn’t get out of the boat? The rest of the disciples. Not a single one of Peter’s closest friends had the courage to join him.

This story is not simply about faith and doubt; this story is about loneliness of leadership and walking by faith. A picture of those wobbly first steps when we separate ourselves from the pack and walk toward God in trust. 

This story captures the isolation of that moment, when we follow God’s leading into the risk and none of our friends go with us. Maybe they don’t go with us because they aren’t called, or they won’t go with us because they’re afraid, but the reason doesn’t matter. Either way, it’s terrifying. 

Walking by faith, and leading by faith, is a vulnerable thing to do, so it’s normal to feel unsure of ourselves. That’s what leadership is like.

What this story tells us is: it’s better to be in the waves with Jesus than in the boat without him.

None of this precludes the importance of seeking wisdom. If you sense God calling you to step out in faith, seek solid counsel. Listen to godly feedback. Be receptive to legitimate concerns. 

But do all this knowing that even when the call is clear, real and confirmed, not everyone will understand it, not everyone will support you, and not everyone will go with you. This is painful and hard. And as lonely as it can be, this is what it means to be a leader.

If God is calling you out of the boat, whatever that might mean, be like Peter. Step out of the boat.

Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Glory fills the highest praise
What can separate me now🎶

This week we celebrate all National Board Certifie This week we celebrate all National Board Certified Teachers! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to advancing the teaching profession. During a pandemic, you embodied what it means to be #NBCTstrong #TeamNBCT @nmnbctn @nbpts 

✨Fun Fact: I started the certification process when my little one was in kindergarten, I have always wanted to be the kind of teacher I wanted for my own children! This picture was taken back then. I remember we would wake up early go to farmer’s market, hang out. Then I would go to #NMSU find a corner in the library and work away!  #maestradecorazón

Our family is taking big leaps of faith this year. Our family is taking big leaps of faith this year. Our comfort zone is being disrupted.⁣

Being uncomfortable does not feel good, yet I find comfort in the one who sustains it all. ⁣

This past year in itself has disrupted my teaching career as a whole. So you would think being uncomfortable would be comfortable. ⁣

Yet over and over again, God reminds me of his goodness and where and how to find him and find peace when my world appears to be falling apart. ⁣
