Rainy Days

Last week was a crazy terrible emotionally draining week. Today I got up and it was raining. I had a dentist appointment and my dentist called me before my alarm went off to see if I could come in earlier... ugh. Not a good way to start off parent-teacher conference day when I was supposed to get to sleep in! I went in early to the dentist and got that over with. I came home and my roomie had pancakes made! That was a step in the right direction!! I had a good workout after that. I decided to check facebook while eating lunch before heading to school for p-t conferences. I had another sweet message on my wall from a student in my physics class last year who is also at UT Knoxville. Here's what it said...

So... today in Planetary Geology Lab, we dealt with impact craters. And we have to go home and calculate the impact velocity of all these planetary bodies as they are hitting planets and satellites. We are ignoring drag. WHAT DOES THAT SOUND LIKE? Ms. Duncan's class. So, I'm a boss, knocking out these problems and feeling overall awesome, talking about Thermodynamics like a champ. All thanks to you. I'm just loving physics right now, and who thought I'd be saying that?! Thanks, Ms. Duncan, for making an English major's life a thousand times more magnificent. (I had a lot of coffee this morning...)

So talk about a boost to my morning!! It really makes me feel like my physics class last year wasn't a complete and absolute fail. After a bad week last week and a rainy day today, God knew just what I needed to hear to brighten my day. I praise God in the storms of life for little moments where he reminds me of his promises with rainbows!!

Blessed by the rain,
