This isn’t my first tech week. 
I’m an old dog.  But I’ve finally learned something.

The name of the game is GRACE.

And a good plan.

I staved off a panic attack Saturday afternoon by recognizing that we would survive the week no matter what, and that we might actually enjoy it IF I didn’t feel like I was constantly flying by the seat of my pants.  When I took the time to write out the schedule, we saw some red flags and worked those out BEFORE they became a problem. 

Nan identified some places she could step in and offered some rides.

Just the week before, my friend Darci put me and another mom in contact so we could work together for rides.  This was a huge blessing for the moms AND the girls.  The long drive to and from the theater in Charlotte was made much more fun with a friend to talk with.

And – we planned out our food to keep us from making expensive rescue meals. 

We made sure to start out days with devotions and bathed our week in prayer.

The crazy is worth it, IMO.  My kids love theater and we’ve been so blessed by the offerings as they come along. 

Tech week – it’s a lot like labor – but longer.

2 Timothy 4:22
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you
