Heavenly Sense of Humor

As I was getting ready for church this morning, it occurred to me: God truly does have a poignant sense of humor.

When I entered college oh so many years ago, I was an elementary education major. In fact, the full-ride scholarship that I was blessed to receive was earmarked for an education major. However, one semester into elementary education, I decided that I wasn't going to be challenged enough as an elementary age teacher. That I needed to teach "smarter" students. And, at the W, one didn't major in secondary education. One picked a discipline, majored in said discipline, and added a teacher's certificate to that major. So, I embarked on my journey to a degree in Math. However, I entered my senior year, and decided that, no, I wasn't going to teach. I would never make any money teaching, and after all, I was going to be a self-supporting girl when I graduated and needed to think about that kind of thing. Money was terribly important, right? How much money you make really serves as a good measuring stick for success, right?

So, this afternoon, as I was preparing my lesson plan for the next week and really having to challenge myself to get my ideas and thoughts in order so that I can teach a Kindergartener.... all for which I'm not going to receive a single paycheck with my name on it at all...... I had to laugh. God is. And He runs things. And if you think you're smart enough to squirrel your way out of His plan for His world..... well, you need a sense-of-humor-check. I know I did. And I got one.
