For anyone that has anything to do with the world of education, you know that we have arrived at the time of the year that is the final countdown. Students have only 14 more days of school! Along with the final countdown comes many deadlines and a long to-do list. Anxiety likes to creep in and cause even more stress and confusion.

On this Mindset Monday, as I look ahead at the busy week before me, I am choosing to take a deep breath, not be anxious, and “present my requests to God.” I will give thanks for the busy season and for the blessings that make my schedule busy. Then I will soak in “the peace of God.”

Do you also, have a busy week ahead. Choose to have the mindset of greeting one day at a time, tackle each task with prayer and petition, and bask in the serenity of God’s peace.
