yep, Today is Wednesday.. and class is cancelled. UMHB is like in this funky stage of cancelling class on Wednesdays.. (totes not their fault).
but anyways, I have a story for you.
I got up at 6:15 this morning, like normal, got ready for class, had breakfast and Jesus time, scraped the ice off my car in the 19 degree weather, and went to class at Raye-Allen Elementary, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. At this point, the roads were fine, but I had a feeling they'd get worse. While I was giving on of my first graders a math benchmark test, another intern came in the room and said her teacher told her to get home. Therefore, my teacher kicked me out cause she wanted me safe. The walk to our cars was comical, we all kept slipping in the parking lot. We all scraped the ice off of our cars, sliding in the process, and as I was about to leave, I noticed all the precip that landed on my windsheild while I was scraping my classmates' cars, froze.. so I had to rescrape mine. So in the process of getting out of the car, I slipped on the ice, and fell.. hard. I twisted my ankle, it hurts, but its part of life.. and as clumsy as I am, I'm used to it. So after that embarrassing moment, I had to drive back...which is the point of my story.
I texted a few friends before I left Raye-Allen, so someone knew I was on the roads in case anything happened. I love the support I have from the people at UMHB. No one EVER neglects a prayer request and I'm so thankful for that. I'm especially thankful for those who prayed for me and the rest of my classmates this morning. I am always amazed by God's power. :) The drive took me at least 30 minutes. It was the scariest drive I've ever made, my tires were slipping everywhere, and I saw flipped and wrecked cars around me, but I knew I had God's protection over me. I made it back safely and got to take a nap, somewhat. But I got up to call work to see if I still needed to come in.. I do, unfortunately, so there was no point in going back to sleep. I'm a little nervie about going to work, but I'll be okay.. God is good.
Monday night, these really cool guys came to UMHB to show their documentary called "Beware of Christians." They did something awesome a few summers ago and are showing the world. It was incredible! If you go to UMHB and didn't get to go, I bought their dvd, so we can watch it sometime! but if you don't go to UMHB, I encourage you to watch this:
It's the trailer for their movie. You can book them to come to an event for you or order their movie online at www.bewareofchristians.com
It's worth your time, I promise!
Stay warm people!
