My New Job

With weddings come many job opportunities, and well, I've decided to take one of them. I believe that this job will be of use in my chosen profession and that I will be an excellent candidate. Here's the job description. Let me know what you think.
Job Description for BFOTB (aka the best friend of the bride):
*Proof engagement pictures.As a professional wedding announcement critic, I, the BFOTB, must be sure that there are not any: cheesy picture montages, kissing photos, bad printing, awkward poses, ugly outfits, animals, extra limbs, and every other potentially strange item that would qualify them for the Awkward Engagement Photos group on Facebook.
*Cake reconstruction, in case of collapse.
*Portable tissue box
*Relaxation therapist
*Self Esteem counselor
*Dress consultant (for the bride and for herself as well as other bridesmaids)
*Bouquet holder
*Party planner
*Sensor of shower gifts that could possibly be wildly inappropriate (coughShelisacough)
*Left over wedding cake eater
*Stand up comedian
*Dear John Writer
Just so all of you out there know, this position has been filled, by ME, for further questions, comments, concerns or jokes, refer to Gilmore Girls, season six, episode entitled The Perfect Dress. This is very silly way of saying congrats to Chels and Jordan who got engaged this past week.

(As a side note and disclaimer: Chels does not really require me to do all these things, but she and Jord did help me make the list because well, let's be honest, it's more fun that way.)

The Miracle of The Textbook...

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. They usually come when we are least expecting it and in ways that you never expect, that's what makes them so special. Let me tell you about my miracle today. I've been so worried about a textbook for one of my classes. The professor gives us a quiz every Tuesday at the beginning of class based on the reading of a 50 page chapter that we are to read over the weekend. That really wouldn't be a problem for me, I don't mind quizzes all the much and I don't mind doing my reading most of the time EXCEPT for the fact that I don't have the book. That's right. Well, this book is $120. For a BOOK. I know right, don't pass out. So today in class the professor told me that he's not going to put the book on reserve in the library which was my last hope for passing the class. I was ready to cry. I gathered my stuff up after class, all ready to go to my Isaiah class. As I'm walking out the door, I notice that Jordan is waiting for me. Jordan is a girl who sits next to me in Geography and we have the same major. We've talked a couple of time, but we're not super super good friends or anything. I wave and start to walk away and she stops me saying that she has a question for me. I pause and ask, "Sure, what's up?"
J: "Do you need a text book?"
M:"Well yeah, I've been using Erin's but it's not working out so well."
J: "Well, you see, I have extra grant money and they're going to take it away October 16th, and my text books are almost $300 less then I thought they would be, can I buy that book for you? I was sitting in class today and all I could think of, after he told you that he won't put the book on reserve is 'She has to have a book'."
M: "You're kidding. How did that happen? Are you sure? I mean, that's a lot of money."
J: "Please just let me, the money will just go to waste if I don't."
M: "Yeah, sure. You are my angel, you really have no idea how long I've been worried about this."
J: "It's nothing really."
I almost cried again. Can you believe that? It is so true that the Lord always watches out for us, but it usually through another person that he meets our needs. I am forever grateful to one person who took the time and had the thought to help someone else. Miracles are everywhere, we just have to be ready to receive what the Lord has for us.
