Let's just have a quick recap of my week so far. First, on Wednesday, I missed my advisement appointment. Now, if you are a pre-education student at my school, you know you better not miss advisement. When they put the appointment book out people break down the door to get a good appointment time. I was one of those people. I ran to the office to schedule an appointment, at a prime time, which is before registration and before we apply to the program (which is in two weeks BTW). I wrote down the time in three out of my four planners (yes, I have four planners, don't judge). I put the appointment in my phone and set an alert. Why so diligent about remembering? Oh yeah, because I missed my appointment last year. Well, low and behold, I missed it again. Of course. After I had a meltdown in the corner of one of the academic buildings on campus (not my first time doing this, but it's not necessarily a pleasant experience), I came to the realization that this was not the end of the world. Actually, I came to that realization after I had a very dramatic moment with my friend and told her that I was not going to get into the education program because I missed this appointment. Alright, get a grip Caroline. The Lord knows what I can and cannot handle, and clearly I could handle missing an advisement appointment, otherwise it wouldn't have happened. So, with that in mind, I went about my day. My best friend from high school called me and told me a funny story, another one of my friends brought me a Chick-fil-A lemonade, which if you know me, Chick-fil-A lemonade is bae. So the day turned around.
Then here comes Friday. I got the news that I had not been offered a job, a job that I applied for last year and did not receive then, either. So of course my initial reaction is WHY? Why did I apply for this job for the second year in a row, and why was I still not offered a position? Well see the funny thing is, I don't know the Lord's timing. I have to believe that there are better things out there for me, and that getting this job was just not in God's plan. And after I had gotten over my frustration of the matter, I had a great day. I went and saw American Sniper with my roommate (which, if you're looking for a good movie, go see that. It's incredible. 5 stars from the rating of Caroline). I had Chick-fil-A for dinner--again, lemonade is bae-- and then I watched Princess Diaries with several friends. I mean, who can say that that's a bad day? I praise God for the friends that I have in my life, and for His perfect timing, even if I can't understand it. Although I did not have the worst week ever, some not-so-fun things happened, and I was stressed. But through all of that, the Lord is good and He is faithful. Just know that even with whatever you are going through.
