Rough Day but He Made Me Smile

I had a really rough day in class. I haven’t had a grammar class in about 13 years (hey, that’s HALF my LIFETIME now). And suddenly I am in intermediate Spanish grammar. That is really frustrating some days. Today was one of those days. I just couldn’t get what the teacher was talking about. In the middle of the morning, after grammar class, we have a half hour break. Usually I go to the computer room and do some work, but today I went out on the balcony because I saw a small spot of sunshine there. So I stood in the only spot of sunshine I have seen in several days and nearly cried with frustration. Then the bell rang and I went back to class, where the teacher promptly replied that we were going to go to a different room for the day.

The rooms are all basically the same except for one. The different one is my favorite, but I don’t have any classes in it. My favorite room is a rectangle and the two long walls are all windows. It is beautiful. My class was switched to that room and I began to feel some relief. Also, the classrooms are not numbered, but are named after various Latin American countries. So I checked the name of my favorite classroom before we went in to see “where” I was going. And guess what…..it was Bolivia.

I had been having a terrible time, but God gave me sunshine, a beautiful room, and a visit to Bolivia. Sometimes I think He is as random as me…but He surely is good to me.
