The beach has always been one of my favorite places to go to sit, read, and relax. I had a very hard day Friday and was told to make sure I get away and go somewhere to get refreshed. A good friend of mine suggested that I take my Bible and spend a “day with God.” He also suggested I read through Dr. Jim Berg’s book, Changed Into His Image. 
1) I have been selfish in my prayers for my class. I have more gone “through the motions” praying for them with just words than REALLY praying with all my heart. I need to get down on my knees and pray to God with all my heart for my students.
2) I have been doing my job in my own strength. I go to work and “go through” the motions of teaching. I haven’t really put my heart into what I need. I also haven’t really been relying on God in the way that I should.
3) A verse that God spoke to my heart.
Numbers 20:12 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron because ye believe me not to san ctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel therefore ye shall not bring His congregation into the land which I have given them.”
Moses lost his temper with the people he led and when God told him to speak to the rock Moses was so angry and frustrated with them that he struck the rock instead. Because of this Moses could not go to the Promised Land.
In my own life I lead and teach my students. When I get angry with them out of frustration God cannot use me in the way He wants to. If I do not control and stop being so frustrated I can miss what God has in store for me.
God is still doing a work in my heart in all the areas and I am looking forward to what He has for me.
