ready for a break?

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what He has kept for His people. For Christ is the real Master you serve." Colossians 3:23-24

As i turned off my alarm this morning for the last time as an active employee i wondered, now what.  I have preparations to finish for CHRISTmas celebrations, but then what.  And then i remembered.  I am still working for my first and #1 Boss.  While i won't be on the school clock, i will continue the lifelong heartbeat of loving and serving those who are woven in my soul, and that includes you.

Today's Bible verse is the daily lesson plan taped on my work computer for years. It set the tone for my day each morning and the tasks for the day. I plan to take it home today and tape it on my laptop.

Our Father placed on my heart 23.5 years ago, the writing and sharing of devotions.  As part of a school family, i sensed a strong need to support and encourage some of the most valuable people on earth... our teachers.  Their commitment, sacrifice and love for our children is nothing short of living like Jesus.  While my devotions evolved just for school teachers, i soon realized  we all are teachers in some respect.  We teach those around us by our thoughts and actions.  

All this to answer the question, will i keep writing... yes, i hope to always work for Him. God, our Ultimate Teacher, still has much to say and teach me. Whether through the eyes as a mother, lolli, wife, friend or other role, there are lessons to learn.  Writing might not be as regular, but i know God will continue to feed me as long as i continue to listen.

May your break be JOYful and filled with Him.  Where i am working will be different, but i know my Faithful Companion will be the same.  Thank You, Jesus.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
