Miss Kooki (Rosemary Peterson) is a 63 year old school bus driver in Florida who was about to turn in her keys. The kids were unruly and she had reached her limit of putting up with the chaos. She began to pray about what to do. She was at the end of your patience.
She says God revealed an answer to her. The next day, once she had all her kids on the bus, she presented them with her plan. The following day they were to bring a book onto the bus. After completing a book, each child would write a book report and submit it to Miss Kooki. The students who wrote the most book reports would get prizes.
The plan took off! Now the bus ride that used to be chaotic, loud and distracting is more like the serenity of a library. The ripple effect has been the kids are doing better in their classes as well. What a turn around – what a plan! (You can watch more of her story at NBC Nightly News online)
Miss Kooki took a hopeless situation and filled it with a renewed sense of purpose.
Are you facing any hopeless situations in your life? If so:
1) Take a step back
2) Pray about it
3) Look for something you can do to make things better (and don’t be afraid to think outside the box)
4) Then get busy doing it!
God created you for a time like this!
