So many changes happened this year, but I am grateful that God continued to be with me through everything! From being on the news, going on a book tour to moving across the country, this year has truly shown me that the extraordinary memories you get to live are based on the choices you make. If you choose to live the same life you have been living, you will reap the same results. You reap what you sow❤️

The word of the year for was 2025: “Choices”
The word of the year for 2026: “Assignment”

Quick life update ❄️(Just finished my first half a year of teaching): The main thing I learned was…

PPC: Preparation prevents chaos
You can’t keep “winging it” in life and expect consistent positive results, you need to have a plan. Otherwise you’ll always live in chaos.

“Children need you to embody your authority”

What I’ve been doing:
Showing up everyday teaching my grade 4’s 👨🏾‍🏫
Went to the shooting range 🔫
Running game nights with my friends 👾
Playing soccer ⚽️
And just overall figuring out who I am!

Quick life update🏔️: Everyday I feel like I’m learning something new about myself, while also unlearning bad habits I’ve developed over the years. Teaching can really show you WHO you are, and how you need to change!

What I’ve been doing:
1. Figuring out the best way to teach my grade 4’s (don’t be afraid to switch it up) 👨🏼‍🎓
2. Playing darts! Overtime playing competitively is extremely fun! 🎯
3. Playing Soccer! (It really brings out the kid in me) ⚽️
4. Creating new memories with my new friends in the valley! I appreciate everyone who is there for me!
5. Playing Disc golf! Such a fun sport! ⛳️
6. Running online Bible study! (It’s been going for 3 years now!) ⛪️

Lessons learned:
1. “If you know what motivates someone, you can drive them to success”
2. “The best apology is changed behaviour”
3. Give yourself grace. This is your first time being a full time teacher! It’s supposed to feel uncomfortable. It gets better!
4. It’s okay to be misunderstood, not everyone and everything is for you
