Change Our Schools though Prayer - Suzanne Weathers
Introduction
and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 AMP
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9 AMP
Being a principal is a call, so much more than it is a career. God has to place a unique burden on your heart to steward His children and families in the educational realm. I didn't realize that at the time of my calling
into this work.
I was a 6 th grade middle school teacher when a gift of leadership began to emerge. I was always a teacher with great classroom management. My kids both loved and feared me; it was the perfect combination.
I didn’t know then that was the anointing of a Heavenly Father within my classroom. It was a safe place for scholars to be themselves and develop inquiry based learning, but also a place where parents could laugh, love, cry, and advocate for what was best for their child. My classroom was safe. But I knew even then this burden was so much bigger than the four walls my classroom could contain.
I knew it was a calling of impact that would not only change the scholars in my class, but those within the school. I began to have teachers come to me and ask about my management style and how I maintained engagement at the same time. I began to coach and support them. My classroom management style was becoming infectious. I could feel a tide was turned and I could hear the call
far off.
Defining Moment
One day, my Director at the time asked me to be in charge of the middle school for two days, while the administrative staff were at a leadership training off campus. I had never had this experience before, but my Director was confident that I was ready. For those two days, I was the acting administrator for the middle school. I had a group of friends, I called them WWIMC (Wonderful Women In My Circle), and they were my prayer partners for years on that campus.
For those two days, they would meet with me in the morning before I started the day of leadership and pray, and then at the end of the school day, we would meet again and thank God for His strength and presence on the campus. During those two days I was in charge, the school ran smoothly. There were little to no incidents, and I was able to support teachers when needed and walk hallways praying during
