I Declare Success

Four walls cannot stop me.

I will not stop me. You will not stop me. 

From what? From being the person that God created me to be.

 

I am convinced that God created me to be a stubborn, bull-headed woman for a reason. With this stubborn nature, He threw in some traits to balance me out...I love like crazy, I hurt when you hurt and I laugh when you laugh- no matter who you are- because you are a person and so am I. I do not falter when it comes to what I stand for; my foundation is firm in an unwavering God. I believe God gave me a passionate spirit, one which cannot be stopped. I believe I am slowly but surely becoming who He has created me to be and I will always remember to give Him credit for His work- which currently happens to be packed into a very busy, very bubbly first-year teacher and college student.

I am a teacher. 

I am a learner. 

I am a sinner. 

I am a child of God. 

Enough about me- why am I here?

To glorify my Father! He has made me this complex, walking contradiction for a reason. He has placed me in exactly this spot, with exactly these life experiences, at exactly this time for a reason. I am here to teach and facilitate growth; but I am also here to grow and learn!

The four walls of my classroom will not confine, limit or trap me OR my wonderful students. Within those four walls we LOVE, we FORGIVE, we learn and practice GRACE, we PRAY, we FALL and FAIL, we MAKE A MESS...and then CLEAN IT UP, we PLAN for success and then we CELEBRATE success. But at the end of the day, I always acknowledge my Father and His plan and His work in my life and in the lives of my students. They see every move I make and I pray that what they see is not Miss Laura, but God's hand of grace in Miss Laura's life. 

I am a teacher. I am an advocate for student success. 

I will not stop my students. You will not stop my students. My students are UNSTOPPABLE...

...and I declare success. 

 

Love, 

Miss Laura
