Thoughts For… Love

Written By Janelle LaRae

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.

This is all there is.

We love because we were first loved. We were loved in the greatest way imaginable. Jesus gave his life to save us.

Each day our life is a gift. Our free will is a gift. We have not been given a list of “do’s and don'ts.” We are only asked to love.

We are all broken people.

We are all searching.

We are all in need of love and acceptance.

The more broken that people are, the more they will search for healing, the more they need love.

I am a teacher and author. I teach elementary school and inspire students to be the best versions of themselves. I use honesty and vulnerability in my writing as I describe how I have overcome cancer, MS, and other difficulties of life.

I received a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Northwest Nazarene University in 1999 and a Master’s of Science in Science Education from Montana State University in 2017.

I understand how life rarely goes as planned and I am adept at finding a way through those difficulties. I have lived in southwest Idaho with my husband since 1996. I enjoy spending time with my 2 amazing daughters. I do everything in my power to stay active. Exercise and health are priorities in my day and I won’t miss an opportunity for some stand-up paddle boarding. Since 2007, my family has been vacationing in Newport, Oregon where I run on the beach and surf the waves as long as they aren’t too big and the sharks stay clear.
