Sundays Dawn

The most meaningful part of these school sessions is
NOT how much I prepare for the session (though I do prepare so much before and I care deeply about that),
NOT how I think I applied the pedagogical skills I’ve spent years honing and genuinely love using through being an educator,
NOT the applause from the students,
and NOT even the affirming feedback from teachers after the session.

What it IS, is what happens AFTER everything officially ends.

It is the moments when students come up one by one (sometimes quietly, sometimes nervously), to share their word of the year.

It is them being raw and sharing what’s on their hearts and minds.

It is them allowing me to speak into their lives and hearts.

And that’s when I’m reminded again that students, people, are who we are meant to serve and love.

So as I walked home after the session (socially drained from holding space for each one and, honestly, already thinking about going home to my very energetic boys and needing to prepare the house to host CG that night), I felt the Lord speak so clearly to my heart…

This that I GET TO DO is a ministry.

And even when the work is hard, even when it feels risky and stretching (and scary because students we never know HOW students will respond to us), if we are called to do this work, all we need to do is OBEY.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9).

For the ones who feel tired trying to do the right thing.

For the ones who feel unseen in their effort.

For the ones who wonder if what they’re doing even matters right now.

Sometimes the good we’re doing doesn’t look big. Sometimes it looks like showing up, trying again, choosing kindness, choosing honesty, choosing to reflect instead of react (even when it’s hard).

And maybe the harvest doesn’t come immediately.

But IT WILL.

So if there’s one thing I hope they carry with them, it’s this: what you’re doing in this season matters more than you think ❤️

P.S. If you would love for me to facilitate a meaningful journaling + calligraphy session for your ministry, educators or students, DM me:

The most meaningful part of these school sessions is actually
NOT how much I prepare for the session (and I prepare so so much about each session and I care deeply about tt),

NOT how I think I applied the pedagogical skills I’ve spent years honing and genuinely love using through this work,

NOT the applause from the students,

and NOT even the affirming feedback from teachers after the session.

What it IS, is what happens after everything officially ends.

It IS the moments when students come up to me one by one (sometimes quietly, sometimes nervously), to share their word of the year.
It is them being raw.
It is them seeing me as a safe space.
It is them allowing me to speak into their lives and hearts.

And that’s when I’m reminded again that students, people, are who we are meant to serve and love.

So as I walked home after the session (socially drained from holding space for each one and, honestly, already thinking about going home to my very energetic boys and needing to prepare the house to host CG that night), I felt the Lord speak so clearly to my heart. This that I get to do here is a MINISTRY.
It is a GIFT.

And even when the work is hard, even when it feels risky and stretching, if we are called to do this work, all we need to do is OBEY.

Gold → King
Frankincense → God
Myrrh → Saviour

Even at His birth, these gifts quietly told the whole gospel story, that He was born to reign, to be worshipped, and to LAY DOWN HIS LIFE.

Because Jesus didn’t come only to be celebrated.
He came with purpose.

It reminds me why we worship Him.

Not just because He is King,
but because He willingly became our Saviour.

Why do you worship Him? 🤍

Sometimes we forget how far the Lord has brought us, and how deeply His hand has been upon our lives.

Not everything is perfect,
but because we’re in His hands,
we’re in good hands. 🤍
