By now, all of my babies are back in school! I have always loved the start of a new school year! I couldn’t wait to see my friends, perform during half-time, wear my new clothes and shoes (I watched my mother pay on layaways all summer!), and get my hair done. The beginning of the school year not only signified a fresh start, but it allowed you to move past whatever happened the year before and hit the reset button. I think I was most excited about moving up to the next level!
Even if you are not going back to school, you can do a self-assessment and a hard reset, if needed, to finish the year strong. As we conclude August and start September, we can adopt new habits, recommit to changing our thinking, and reaffirm to ourselves daily that Nothing is Impossible for God! This is the perfect time to start over, no judgment!
Many of our students may be apprehensive about the school year, but let’s provide them and the teachers/administrators with the prayers and support needed to succeed. This support can be an encouraging word, assistance with homework, volunteering, advocating for schools and students, allowing students to make mistakes, developing healthy routines, and creating a safe space for everyone to thrive!
The Bible tells us in Philippians 3:13, Brother and Sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Lamentations 3:22-23, The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Job 8:7, Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.
As always, thank you for your love and continued support! Join me in prayer to change hearts, to heal our land, and for the contentment and peace to handle whatever should come up! I am so thankful to each of you for joining me on this journey to re-imagine contentment in 2023!
Always look for the Remarkable in your life!
Dr. ReShone
