Thank you, Lord for these words! I needed them so much. I want to be a blessing to my kiddos and make a difference in their lives. “Fight all your battles on your knees and you win every time.” ~Charles F. Stanley

Thank you Jesus for using this young lady to help so many teachers and assistant teachers. Your testimony is so beautiful and inspiring.

WOW! and AMEN! I have been through some "crap" in my 30+ years and I'm still teaching! You do have to find that inner strength and passion and don't let no one, I mean NO ONE, "rain on your parade!!!

Beautifully said. Every teacher needs to hear this. There are too many who feel defeated every year. Since the government and administrators do not do much to help the teachers in the trenches, God is the only source some of them can count on. Bless you for sharing this.

Thank you 1000 times over for making us think about the most important thing!

Wow, wow, & wow. This is my journey...31 years later and my prayer for all my staff. God please change our hearts & help us to save our students’ souls.

This is beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing in vulnerability, and joy. God is so blessed with our hearts when we seek to let Him into the tough places, and classrooms tend to be tough places.

Thank you, Angela for this divine message and encouragment! I needed to hear this. Keep trusting the Lord and loving on those students.

I can’t express enough how difficult life is without Jesus Christ and HIS Holy Spirit so ever present and in charge of your days, especially those many difficult days. Pray, pray, pray every hour! YES!! As a coach and a teacher I can honestly say from experience I can’t do it without HIM! Thank you for your vulnerability!

Live for the applause of nail scarred hands...

This was a great testimony, a great friend of mine that is a teacher revealed this to me, this is such a inspiration, I’m not a teacher but a nurse, so just a different uniform, bc I feel how she feels and I want to pray for my patients and pray over my Center. This was the inspiration I needed for the day, thank you so much!

Oh my word. Thank you for this. Bless you.

Thank you for this! Almost two years later, God is using YOU to minister to all of us in the trenches everyday!

Thankyou for this beautiful message

Preach it, girl!!! Sooo true! We walk into a battle every day and how easy it is to lose sight of that. We cannot give up the fight and only do it through prayer and God's perspective. The enemy is trying to get us down, distracted, and overwrought, so this reminder is so needed! And what a huge joy it is to see what Christ does, not to mention the kids HE BRINGS to US to encourage US, etc.....! "Lift up your eyes and look around; all your children gather and come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “you will wear them all as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride." Isaiah 49:18

Angela, I was wondering if this woman had a Facebook page or anything. I'd love to thank her for sharing her story!! This has definitely resonated with me!

I needed this encouragement! 🙌🏾

This was powerful! Thank you!!!!

She nailed it! We are here to bring glory to God. The only way I can teach effectively is to lean on Jesus all throughout each day.

Wow, this is my story too! Praise God for calling Godly men and women to teach our kids!

Yes, Amen, thank you for sharing!

Thank you!!! So needed!

Thank you so very much!!!!!

she has the calling.

Thank you so much for your words!

Beautiful!

Thank you Wendy Shreve

thank you

Thank you :)

Wow..good message.

THIS is so REAL!!!!!

Thank you. I’ve said this a lot lately. What does she say about “live for the applause”? 4 minutes in. Sounds like “of nail guardians” and I can’t work it out!

Amen

Nice prospective. Lifetime teaching requires prayer in all situations especially on the way home after a long day. Is your Cross neckless upside down?

Wow.

In addition to prayer, would voting for change and progressive leadership be more effective?
