A long day

Time seems to go by slowly on some days.  Yesterday and today seem to be a pair of ones.  I tried to tell my daughter that it was a long day yesterday and she looked at me strange.  I could see the cogs going in her head and before she could say anything I said, 'well technically it has been 24 hours, but it feels longer'.

Yesterday and today have been convocation days at the college that I work at. As part of the team that takes care of the multimedia and the computers I get to put in long days to make sure things go right when these events take place, and this semester it was on my campus. Rooms had to be set up, projectors made sure to be running, etc.  You get the idea.

I did get one blessing though.  I changed jobs abruptly in the college and because of that had to change shifts that I was working. That meant that I lost the two classes that I was going to teach.  Teaching brings in the extra $ that I need.  I thought that nothing could be done. But a little faith and prayer and a little putting out of feelers that I was available (the Bible does say 'faith works'), helped me get one class to teach out of the two. While it would have been better to have the two, I am sure that God will provide.
