Did you think to PRAY?

I've recently joined the ranks of the Happy Planners and enjoy adding stickers and using my colored pens more than I care to admit.  I wanted to repurpose an older planner, so I flipped the covers over to get a new design on the outside.  However, this left me with a huge blank space on the front.  I was flipping through my endless stickers (guilty pleasure!) when I happened to notice a piece of felt art that my youngest daughter made me one Christmas.  The black felt circle had the words "Did you think to pray?" cut into it and the letters and border had been carefully colored with meticulous care by my baby girl. 

​As I stared at the circle, the question became personal.  How many times have I started an endeavor, an initiative, a task that I felt compelled to take on, without first consulting the Lord?  Countless.  It seemed fitting that this question should be the foundation for everything I'm going to "plan" or do. 

So I ask you, fellow teachers and coaches - did you think to pray about the upcoming school year?  Have you placed your schedules in the hands of the One who is the master at time management?  Have you  shared your room design with the Divine Designer?  As you happily plan, have you considered the plans He has for you?  You won't know until you think to pray over it all!
