Turn That Frown Upside Down!

Today was a particularly challenging day. I woke up at 7:09am in order to register for classes because apparently if you do not take any classes within a years time you get booted out and have to re-apply for school all together. Luckily my particular school either has low expectations or allowed me in because I have failed numerous classes and just want to keep taking my money. (Side note: I am more determined this semester. I am taking Biology and Developmental Math) So when I arrive it takes me 30 minutes to fill out an application form, 30 minutes to wait in line for a clerk to tell me that I can go register with an advisor, and 1 hour of waiting in line for the advisor to call my number, then 30 minutes speaking with an advisor. Jon and I were almost late for work. I expected delays but nothing like that. The funny thing is I overheard one of the clerks telling a guy that during the busy times students have to wait like 90 minutes to visit with an advisor. Crazy! Well after my ordeal at school, I rushed to work with a non-air-conditioned car that was overheating  just to make sure I didn't upset a student who had a private class scheduled at noon, only to find out that they canceled class an hour prior. So I arrive to work dizzy from the mid-day heat and sweating with my hair half done. I can only imagine the thought of the cashier as I stroll into work. "Dang she looks rough" I hope I do not have a day like this one for a little while. The rest of my night went pretty smoothly and only got better as I jumped into bed with the box fan on high while eating a cup of cereal. Sometimes I feel that in a world of sadness and disappointment it is comforting to know that I serve a God who can turn my frown upside down. 

Mathew 6:25 - 34

²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[b]?
 ²⁸"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
