I blew the Orthodontist out of her seat yesterday.
Okay, this needs some further explanation, doesn't it? Well... I went to the orthodontist yesterday. My mouth is a mess, and they're talking about pulling four permanent teeth, which I'm not too happy about. The problem is, we, um, can't afford braces, or tooth removal, or an oral surgeon for gum reconstruction, or any of that. The orthodontist said, "Well, God will never give you anything you can't handle." I snapped out of my self-pity party over my teeth and said, "Yeah, actually He does, so you can learn how to rely on Him more." She was shocked. "I've never heard that before," she said. I told her I'd just come from Bible study, and my mother just HAD to spill that I'd been reading Pascal's work recently. Well, I guess she had a very interesting discussion with her family around the dinner table last night.
Oh, I also got the offer to tour the country's best history museums as an intern.
We had our church, Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene's 75th annerversary Sunday, and we had a professor from Tribeca come to give us a presentation of our history. We were supposed to dress for church like it was the 40's, and I wore a polka-dotted dress, leggings, my Captain America jacket(hey, it's pre-Capsickle) and my tri-corner hat(it was historical dressing, so I HAD to wear the tricorne). After church, he was talking with my parents and grandparents and I came over. He noticed my tricorne and asked if I liked history. I told him I was in training to be National Treasure 3(not technically,but I am a huge history buff!). He in turn told me that his daughter was a historian and the 'research gal' on American Pickers. My jaw dropped. He then continued to offer that if I attended Tribeca when it came time for college, he'd hook me up with summer internships at the nation's best history museums all over the country! Wow. Just- wow.
