“Your emotional well-being won’t affect how God shows up for you, but it might affect how you show up for God.” @DrAnitaPhillips #TheGardenWithin

I’m convinced the Heavenly Father blessed me with children to keep me humble, so that I am reminded of how I often treat my relationship with Him. IYKYK

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness month? Let's spend this month talking about what mental health means, how it can look, and what we can do to help.

Tomorrow is America's National Day of Giving!!

Prevent Child Abuse America embarked on a comprehensive, adaptive strategy process in 2022 to set a vision for the creation of a primary prevention ecosystem in the United States that builds the well-being of our nation’s children and families.

@UA_WholeChild Yep! I found ‘em all 😁

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

@Trish_Crain And this is concerning. I guess all we can do is play “wait and see.”

Mackey said the FAFSA - which all Alabama high schoolers are required to complete unless a waiver is granted - is expected to be impacted, but he isn't sure how. #ALBOE

The #ALBOE work session has resumed. I missed part of the first part, pre-lunch, due to a longer-than-usual press gaggle with Dr. Mackey.

@KevOnStage Thank you! Got a headache? Bet you got a purse/pocket full of Tylenol too.

Pray and TAKE THAT MEDICINE.

“There was also Wednesday an outage on StudentAid.gov, the federal website for student loans and financial aid, The Associated Press reported.” #FixitJesus 🙏🏾

“And the district made clear everyone, from teachers to administrators, should be looking at the data.”

WATCH: @BillNye the Science Guy speaks at "Stand Up for Science" rally.

“So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6 NIV

The more we practice deceit, the more incapable we are of speaking or even recognizing truth. Deceit functions like a narcotic, and it is ingested in order to silence guilt or empathy for others so that a deadened soul can continue its destruction.

The old saying goes “do the best you can” but someone forgot to tell us, that some days “our best” is waking up, taking a shower, not crying, not sleeping all day, having positive thoughts, answering the phone, smiling, or simply just showing up, and that’s ok. Hang in there❤️

Day 2 with #TCSSWholeChild sharing four leadership keys with their middle/high school student leaders! Excited to see how they continue to inspire, lead, and make an impact! @UA_WholeChild #Leadership #LeadersNow #YouthEmpowerment #LeadershipInAction #YouthLeadership2025

We had arguably the best help on campus this morning to give Warm Welcomes to our elementary schools who attended the Youth Leadership Retreat! We can’t wait to see what tomorrow YLR will bring with our secondary schools! ROLL TIDE and remind yourself, YOU LOOK GOOD TODAY!
