Rooted and Refreshed

About this book

"Tiffany is as masterful with her words as she is with her art. She truly understands what it means to be a teacher. Her devotions are encouraging and empowering. Her book touches this teacher's heart and soul." -Rachel Mills, Educator Teaching is more than a job-it's a calling. And yet even the most dedicated educators can feel stretched thin, discouraged, or unsure of where to find strength for another day. Rooted and Refreshed: A 90-Day Devotional for Teachers is a much-needed breath of hope for every educator who pours their heart into others while quietly running on empty. Written with honesty, humor, and deep compassion, veteran art teacher Tiffany Fox invites you into ninety days of Scripture-based reflection that speaks to both the joys and the heartbreaks of the classroom. With stories drawn straight from her own teaching journey-moments of laughter, challenge, holy nudges, and unexpected grace-Tiffany shows how God faithfully meets teachers right where they are: in the crowded hallways, the late-night grading sessions, the tearful conversations, and even the chaos of daily school life. Each day's entry includes: ✨ A brief passage of Scripture✨ A story from the classroom that speaks to the real joys and challenges teachers face✨ A "Rooted" reflection offering a gentle reminder of God's truth✨ A "Refreshed" prompt to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with God✨ Space to journal, pray, or simply rest for a moment Whether you are a first-year teacher or a seasoned educator, these pages will remind you that God is with you, for you, and working through you-even on the days that feel like a wilderness. Teachers across the country have already shared how these devotions have encouraged and strengthened them: "This devotional is desperately needed by teachers all around the country. We are worn out for various reasons! As I read, it gave me much to relate to and reflect on as I considered my own instructional practice, especially from a Christian perspective." -Jay Linsberger, Educator "As I am reading, I'm crying, smiling, relating, laughing, picking up my Bible, and thinking who to share this powerful devotional with. It's not just for teachers by profession-in a sense, we all are teachers." -Ava Cooley Rooted and Refreshed is not another task on your to-do list. It is a quiet companion. A moment of stillness. An invitation to remember that your work matters deeply-and that God is sustaining you in ways seen and unseen. If you're ready to renew your spirit, rediscover your purpose, and feel God's presence in your calling again, this devotional will meet you right where you are. Let these pages remind you that you're not walking this calling alone-God is with you in every moment, every classroom, and every season.
