I'm so spoiled by the Maker of Heaven and Earth
Okay, so today started out a little shaky. I decided to wake up an hour late for work. Yes, that is correct. My obsessive plans of laying out my clothes, taking a shower last night and going to bed at a decent hour just prepared me to witness some of God's divinity. In School Suspension was my declared substitute job for the day at Manhattan High and I was pumped. However, not pumped enough to get out of bed when my alarm went off at 6:30am. Flying out of the apartment in less than 5 minutes, I figured I could just sneak in to ISS at 8:15am, relieve whoever was covering me and deal with the apologizing later in the day. On my drive to work, here I am, praying aloud asking God how the hay He might use this situation to declare Himself. Admitting my embarrassment, my shame, I continued to plead to God. Without even speeding, I arrived a few minutes after 8, walked straight back to the ISS room, much to my dismay, there were no students. However, there was a teacher, sitting there, quietly reading a newspaper. Confused, I asked him if he was covering for me or if he was here all day. He looked at me oddly and said he was there for the day, so I sulked on back to the office, expecting a conversation filled with disappointment. Get this...The secretary completely forgot to call and inform me that a full time teacher had been hired for that position and that SHE was sorry for having me come in. YES, she apologized to me! UH, not what I was expecting. I admitted it wasn't a big deal and that I needed to get myself up for the day. Her apology added a half day pay for her mistake of not calling me and here I sit. I enjoyed my morning, read, napped, organized my closet some, and now am blogging. Whew, the Lord really did use the morning chaos to bring Glory to Himself. I think I'll go spend a little time in His word to see what else He has to offer for the day.
