Romans 9, 10, 11 & 12 - Beautiful Feet

These passages were much needed today. As always, God gives me just what I need in all areas of my life, especially today in his word.

When reading this one verse really hit me:
"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:15

As I start a new year, new school and new grade I really want to focus on what God is calling me to do. I fully believe that he has placed me where he needs me to be. This year I do not want to get wrapped up in gossip, complaining, etc. Even if I am just hearing it, I am a part of it. I want my feet to bring good news.

I need to prepare my heart today as I prepare my classroom. lesson plans, schedule... I need to make sure that I am connecting with God in such a way that:

-My heart will be open to his instruction and guidance.
-People will see something different in me.
-He will continue to bless me as I call on him.
-I will have opportunities to share his love with others.
-My testimony will be strong and clear to those who need to hear in order to move closer to believing.

Going back to Romans 8:38-39, read this aloud and claim his power over all that can come our way during the day to make us walk any other way but right beside him.

And then hold on to this.

Happy back to school my R2 friends. Let us be ordinary teachers who have our eyes fixed on God!
