A bad hair day can be a good regular day.

I'm sitting on my bedroom floor. When I sit on the floor and look out the windows, it feels like a tree house. I can see the sky and the tops of trees and houses. It's a safe, content feeling. It has been a productive day. I still have things to accomplish like making more worksheets for my chillins and straightening up my room a bit, etc, but I am quite content right now. My second week is over with student teaching. This week I learned a bit about tough love and having a tough skin. Not fun lessons, but I know that in the end, those are things that every teacher must be acquainted with. I sent an email this morning saying that I couldn't tutor the Glenwood kids this semester. I can't explain the loss I feel in that regard. I don't even leave the school til five most days, and then it's a thirty minute ride home.

I was reading in Isaiah 40 today.

25 “ To whom then will you liken Me,
Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high,
And see who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name,
By the greatness of His might
And the strength of His power;
Not one is missing.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
And speak, O Israel:

“ My way is hidden from the LORD,

And my just claim is passed over by my God”?

28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.

29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,

31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Over and over, God calls us to wait on him. This morning I couldn't help but wondering, "How long? Til what?" but God never says that. He just says to wait. I'm such a control freak that open endedness disturbs me.

I need to go change the light bulb in my lamp.
