crazy day...
wow, what a crazy day this has been. by now, most know how extrememly frustrating my first day at northridge was today. so frustrating, in fact, that my first day was also my last day. brief synopsis: one of my classes now includes a placement in the schools and the placements started this week (mine today) and my teacher said he didn't want/need a student. so, this now puts me a week behind everyone else and i will probably have to make it up during dead week....oh super. oh well, there was humor in my short visit there, but sadly, that does not cover up the fact that i have no placement right now.
class was fine, and i even got a nap in today, but it was still a strange afternoon. then, planning about dnow and catching up with jessica was fun, along with bible study, which was good as always. i just don't like weird days. i'm sure they are just part of it, and i am grateful for the good moments today, but weird days are not very fun.
i have to agree with a friend's post and say that God definitely uses my alone time in the car to talk to me as well. not to say that is the only place i hear Him, but it is one of the more popular places. anyway, i began to wonder (in the car) just why God gives us times of contentment and happiness and times of uncertainy and sadness. are the times when we are content and pleased with life rewards for getting through previous hard times? or, are they preparation for future situations? or, is there really a specific reason? this may be incredibly silly and pointless, but it was just something i was thinking. then, today, i thought that maybe God just wanted me to realize that regardless of the time in my life or the reason behind it, that He is there. He's always there...protecting me, providing for me, guiding me, LOVING me. gosh, that's so awesome. i don't need answer to why i am happy or sad or whatever other than because i serve an Amazing God who is far beyond anything i can try to explain with a simple answer.
