Groundhog Day!!! :))
As I'm sitting here with my snack of croutons and Naked juice enjoying this fabulous Groundhog Day, it's difficult not to thank God for things like this. For stupid snacks and pointless holidays, for Saturdays of doing nothing. I think days and things like this make the good foods and major holidays and days of production the important things that they are. Yeah. =)
Life is getting crazy and crazy busy with every passing day. Not to the point of overwhelming nation, but the point of having my days completely filled from 6:45am to midnight-thirty. Shoo!
This week I had some INCREDIBLE things happen! and I'll tell you about them right now! I applied for a job back in the fall and I honestly forgot about it until this past week I was told that I had gotten it! It's a desk job in a boys dorm, so I get paid to literally sit on my rear for 3 hours and check girls in and out of their dorm. This is probably the best job I've ever had. Well, almost. This is definitely the easiest job I've ever had. And the second thing is..... (drumroll)
I got assigned my schools this week!!! You know, for my education classes, part of passing the classes and a class all in itself is going out in schools in Jackson and observing 10 hours in a elementary school and 10 hours in an high school! I'M SO HACKIN' EXCITED!!! Like, seriously, after class, my friend Becca and I had to walk outside and have a bit of a freak out moment that consisted of making loud sounds and sitting down because we were weak in the knees. This is HUGE! These schools, these teachers I'll be observing, these kids, I could be working in my future work environment with my future co-workers! I could be referenced by teachers and principals for surrounding states! It's all so mind blowing and exciting and nerve racking and terrifying and glorious!!!
WHEW.
In chapel this week, while I should have been paying attention to the speaker, (sorry, speaker) I was flipping through my bible -specifically through Hebrews, cause it's awesome- and I came upon a verse that I had never seen (which that's been happening a lot lately) and it JUMPED out at me and I got so excited that I almost stood up in chapel and shared it with everyone! Since I didn't do that, I've decided to tell all my friends and then post it on the internet, because communication is flawless that way. ;).
Talking about the call to persevere
"Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possession."
Hebrews 10:32-34
People. That kind of rocks my world. A million times over every time I read that passage. It sums up so much and at the same time every sentence leads into so much more! AH!!
Go get you some Scripture. :D
