whoever said fortune cookies lied?

So the other day I went to Panda Express with the gift card my mom gave me.  Despite the phrase "It's a sign" my mom and I jokingly coined and recited whenever something remotely coincidental happened, I typically do not hold to any superstitious beliefs. That being said, the fortune cookie I received at PE that day was cruel and... sigh... true.  I tried to ignore the urge to blog about said fortune but eventually had to give in to the epicness that this cookie brought.  So without further ado, my fortune:

Cherish home and family as a special treasure.

Done and done.

Isn't it funny how something so flippant can come to you in a most meaningful way?  Perhaps it's a sign.

abused and underused

Well, tomorrow will mark day two (count 'em, two) of subbing.  My first day subbing was Monday and it was... interesting.  The school was more diverse than I anticipated, which was fine, but considering I was in for a high school BIOLOGY teacher, I was a little nervous.  Two subjects I am not well versed in - high schoolers and science.  I must have done alright because one of the students told me I was "chill."  I used that word in junior high.  Shouldn't it be out of style by now?  Anyway, all in all, the day went fairly well.  I took notes and have set up new rules for myself as I continue to pursue my short-term career as a (chill) substitute.

That brings me to tomorrow.  A half day of teaching physical education. I will let you in on my thought process here: how have I gotten two jobs I'm totally not qualified to teach?  When I figure out the answer I will let you know.

I'm thankful for this job (and by job I mean each individual opportunity I have to sub).  Being dependent on God to provide a different job everyday is scary, unsettling, and nerve-racking; being dependent on God to provide a different job everyday is exciting, intimate, and relationship-strengthening.  So, thank you Lord, for providing me with a job tomorrow and more importantly, for teaching me to be completely dependent on you.
