Day Three

I really need to come up with some catchy titles for my posts, don't I? I'll work on that before my next one. 


In my spare time, I'm a substitute teacher and I rather enjoy it. I can play teacher without having to prepare lesson plans.... I wonder if I were to go back to school and get my teaching license, if I could find someone willing to prepare the lessons for each day, while I simply show up, teach and collect the paycheck? 
Back to my original point on subbing. I was called this morning at 5:30 a.m. to sub, which I wasn't able to do, nor was I able to fall back to sleep and further enjoy the warm comfort of my bed. My entire schedule for the day was interrupted. Yes, the lack of just an hour or two of sleep wrecks havoc on my day! 


Also, in my spare time, I volunteer with the youth group at our church. I think I spend more time with  people under the age of 18, then I do with adults! I keep telling myself that hanging out with middle and high school students will keep me young.... what do you think? 
Last night was my night to be with my middle school small group of 6th grade girls. We talked about rebels and rebelling. When asked to define the word rebel or to say what comes to mind when the word rebel is used, my girls came up with descriptions like a bad person, or a criminal, nothing good comes from rebelling. 
I, along with my girls, realized that we are rebels in a sense.  We rebel against the schemes of the world. Schemes that tell us that it's all about ME. That if there was a God, all He wants is for us to FEEL good, the only person I need to worry about is me. Those ideas sort of go along with what I wrote about yesterday. The world wants us to believe that we are the most important being; that I am in control of my life. That's true to a small degree. I've been given freewill, but God is ultimately in control, isn't He? That's a rhetorical question, because He is. There is a God and I'm here only because of Him. My first concern should be God, not myself. 
So, being a rebel can be a good thing!


It's very cold and windy here, today. I have errands to run, but a hot cup of cocoa and a blanket have called my name. I'm quite comfortable with staying inside. 


Until we meet again....
