so here's a funny story for ya...Last week I was getting ready for my first day to substitute teach and I heard this on the radio."Yesterday morning a young lady was getting ready to go and substitute teach." and I was thinking hey that's me! "She was brushing her teeth and in a hurry to get out the door when she tripped." Again I thought hmmm...sounds like me! "Well, when she fell the tooth brush was swallowed and she rushed out the door to hail a cab, not to the school but to the hospital. Once at the hospital the doctor's proceeded to make an incision and remove the toothbrush from this young ladies stomach!" WOW. I am very thankful that my first day of teaching did not go as this girl's did. I was careful to brush my teeth very carefully that morning and every morning after. LOL. As I am prone and continue to spill, trip, loose things and generally be clumsy.

My search continues for a job.......I LOVE my job at Starbucks, but I know that it is not where my heart is. Although I do enjoy the coffee bit:O). And the one time I have had a teaching job leaves me wanting more. Then He reminds me to seek the best and not just to settle because of my impatient heart. Life is good. He is good. As I continue to walk this road I see that His plan is better than I can imagine, even though I do not see it now and may never see it on this earth. Man, is that easy to say, but so hard to live. Peace out.

Yaosers! so Im just sitting here waiting to head to work and thinking about how the majority of the people i know are right now in bed sleeping. I totally and completely miss China. somedays I try to figure out why im in minnesota. I know that His plan is best and i'm content for the moment. oh dear. One thing I loove about it here is the CLEAN AIR! Its amazing you breathe in deep and all you smellis this sweetness that seems to go on forever. i love it. i also love working at a place where i smell coffee all the time. starbucks. yep. starbucks. its my kind of place. and it's crazy busy all of the time. some days I feel like a chicken running around with no head. The people i work with are a blast. i'm trying to substitute but it's kinda hard when no one calls with a job, so i wait for the day when they will call. meanwhile i look for a teaching job. maybe in China again??? life is a mystery and I wouldnt want it any other way.
