Back to school. 

Back to work. 

Back to life. 

Back to reality.

(Are you singing that song in your head now?)

With all of this creeping up on us, it is extremely easy for stress to start creeping in as well. Supplies, clothes, and schedules (and one million other things) can become our main focus instead of God’s mission for us. 
Don’t let these things steal your joy. God has given us blessing after blessing after blessing. 

Focus on the happy. Focus on the magic of this crazy, exciting life we’ve been given. Focus on God. And for all of my educator friends, let’s focus on the fact that we are lucky enough to work in one of the best mission fields God created -the school. Our children. Our future. 

“But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you.” – Acts 26:16
