How Do You Start Your Day?

When I wake up in the morning (before I hit the roads of Osage City with my running shoes), the first thing I do is pray for my bus drivers as they start the day. The precious cargo they carry each day is always on my mind as the day begins. Then I pray for the kids of my district. Father, help them get to school safely, and have a day where they are challenged academically to do their very best. Then I pray for my teachers and staff members. Give them the patience and understanding as they meet the challenges of the day. Then I pray for my building principals as they work in their respective buildings with so many challenges and responsibilities. Then I pray for the parents of my district. Help our parents be the role models that our children need to be successful in their studies and in their extra-curricular activities. Then I pray for my board members. I pray that they make the very best decisions in the best interest of the students. Then I pray for my patrons (the community). Support our schools and help us be the very best that we can be. Then, God help me as a leader. I can’t make it without You. You are the One that gives me the strength and wisdom to be what You want me to be. Help me and guide me in the decisions that I have to make today. Help me be a role model to all that I come in contact with. Help me with my frustrations and challenges. I need You each day!

How do you start your day?
