When your buddy is turning 13 and she can't have a real birthday party, Plan B is a drive by honk parade for the "Quaran-teen."
When your school is cancelled before you could get to the biggest project of the year, a personalized and hand painted dinosaur shirt for each student, Plan B is to put on your own Teacherasaurus shirt and round up your best teacher friends to spend 3 days doing all the shirt work for the kids as a gift.
When your days are supposed to be busy with school activities and homework and church meetings and time with friends, Plan B is to embrace laziness and rest and recognize that at least the puppy is the big winner in all this.
When one of your favorite lessons is teaching your kiddos how to put the big lines and curves together in just the right way to write the word MOM (the first word many of my kids will ever write after their own names!), Plan B is to send the writing lesson in a video format and delight in the pictures that get sent back!
When your end of the year is supposed to be celebrations and hugs and last everythings, Plan B is to write your students a goodbye letter that makes you cry, assemble a bag of classroom goodies, decorate a table, and host another drive by for goodbyes.
When you are super Type A, but your life becomes an ongoing Plan B, you rest in comfort from God's word. "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:1-2 "We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces Hope." Romans 5:3-4 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
