Sometimes a colleague walks right into your #firstdayofschool #selfie right in the middle of it! Oops, had a good laugh, then I ran to get my mask! ⁣I was like, “do I hold the pose🤪?”
⁣
Anyhow, this picture pretty much represents how our first day went! After physically being out of the classroom for over a year, EVERY CHILD WAS SO HAPPY TO BE BACK 😍⁣
⁣
My heart melted and rejoiced several times today! Soy #maestradecorazon 😍

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.

It’s Friday but Sunday is coming! Earth’s saddest day and happiest day were just three days apart. Hallelujah! Jesus reigns.

And he has made a way!
🎶 At the cross I bow my knees
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 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

💔 She lead eloquently and with grace. She sat in my classroom several times, observing and helping me teach! She will be missed!

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. ⁣
⁣
Swipe to see an excerpt from yesterday’s devotional and solitude time. I hope it encourages you as well. ⁣

#HappySunday my friends. Keep your chin up 🤍 ⁣

Love, Laura⁣
