Just when I thought it wouldn't get any funnier...

So yesterday I was very much at peace with myself. Student observations are going great and I'm floating down our long hallway toward my Kindergarten classroom when I See a poster for the Community Education Monopoly tournament. I have done this every year we have had it, and I am always a banker. My summer boss did not call me and tell me about it, which was strange for her. She normally does. Well, I called her this afternoon and told her I would volunteer again this year and was looking forward to doing it again. We started talking about Summer's Cool, the program I have worked for the last three years. We talked about the fun things to come, and she offers me the job writing the curriculum for the program. I was floored and excited and took the offer. My resume was about to be beefed up with two curriculum books under my belt, when she asked if I was going to come back this year as a Site Supervisor. I told her I would like to, and that I was not doing school during the summer. Then she casually asked if I would like to have a Director position for the camp. NO WAY!!!!! This is so cool! Something even better to add to my resume! Director of a school camp... responsible for 60 kids and 12 staff members, including 2 Site Supervisors. I must say that I love that y boos has faith in me and my ability to manage and teach children. I accepted of course. I would rather work a 40 hour work week than 30 and get paid almost double of what I was making last year.

First, I must say this came as a shock. Second, this is also a gift from God. The definition of gift can be use many ways. I like to think of gifts as blessings from God that I do not deserve. A struggle that I have is money. My school, and Shaune's Master Degree are burning a nice little hole in our pocket book. It is easier to worry than it is to trust. Money always fall from the sky when we Shaune has needed it most. Shaune has a strong faith that God will always provide when we need it. What I love about God is how he shows you in small ways that you are being ridiculous. When I start to worry about finances, God drops money into Shaune's lap. Whether it is a rel estate job, a dividend check, or some life insurance account that he closed years ago and is paying him out. Whenever I worry where the money will come from, God dangles the $ bills above my head and says "My child, why do you not trust in me to take care of you?" Then, as always, I feel like a complete ass for not trusting in him. I love those little moments when I feel like a donkey. I was starting to worry where the money for my last semester would come from, because coming back t camp as a Site Supervisor would not have paid for it. This job however, will be able to cover my tuition, my books, my 1/2 semester parking sticker, and my graduation robes, invitations and Thankyou cards. Isn't God good?!
