A Gift From the Unexpected

I go in for my second day on the job of my lab aide at school today. I have to go in early though because there is some Math Lab I have to go to for my Math class. I am really not excited. It is okay though because later today I have "Friends" night with my friends where we all get together and watch "Friends". I am so tired though. I have learned that about being in college so far. That I never really sleep. Whether it is because I am staying up doing work for college, or just staying up worrying about college. Hopefully I will have something good happen at work that I can tell you all about. We will see.

However, yesterday in math class I had something pretty awesome happen. I had not eaten all day and it was approaching seven o'clock at night. A student in my class had brought a full on meal to class and was eating. I mean a full on meal, with shrimp and everything. It smelled delicious. The whole time I was just trying not to focus on it because I was so hungry. I then began to worry about how I was going to eat that night. I was going straight from school to a church event so I was not going to be home in time for dinner at my house. I also did not have any money, so I could not get food on the way home. Then she opened a packet of pop tarts. She was full at this point and only wanted one. So she asked the best question I have ever heard in my life, "Do you want the other pop tart?" I tried to hide my excitement as I answered yes. It seems like nothing, but it was just what I needed to get by. It was one of those times where I just knew God was in the workings. He knew that I need food, and he supplied not too much, and not too little, but just the right amount that I needed to get by.
