lead with love

"Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." 1 Peter 5:2-3

As a teacher, how comfortable are you with the standards, the guidelines, grade requirements and expectations of your position?  As a long-term sub in a new place, i'm not at all.  My head and brain are spinning. WHAT HAVE I DONE? Just what do i know??  Then i hear a small Voice.

Teach by example and with a servant's heart, and the flock will be properly led, empowered and prepared.  Remember the passion that ignited your fire to teach/serve so you may inspire others to discover their dreams.

Sometimes the most important aspect of teaching if not what we know, but how we relate and led those trusted to our care.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
