Favor isn't fair

Beautiful sunrise in Puerto Rico.  Yup, it's definite, God is by far still (and I'm sure always will be) my favorite artist!

Hello there lovelies~

I hope that everyone is doing well and had a wonderful hump day.  Instead of hump day happiness this week I decided to write about an experience that I recently had (don't worry, it's happiness).  Earlier this week I had a "wow, favor really isn't fair" moment.  This week I found out that a fellow co-worker is a non tenure track professor.  So quick explanation of tenure.  

In academia, to gain tenure is THE goal.  Once tenured, you have job security at that university for life (unless you do something incredibly stupid like blow the place up).  So, now a days especially tenure track jobs are quite competitive and hard to obtain.  A few months after I was hired at FMU the department chair approached me and asked me to apply for a tenure track position that the department had open.  What?!?!  Can we say "thanks God, because I clearly did nothing to deserve that."  

So, as the plot thickens, let's go back to my co-worker who is not in a tenure track position.  Once I learned this information I began to wonder why would the department ask me over him to accept a tenure track position?  According to credentials, he would be a much more likely option to be asked to move into a tenure track position than myself.  After some consideration I decided that the only reason I am where I am is because favor isn't fair, and I thank God for favor. 

So, once again God has come through in a HUGE way for me.  I love when God does something to remind me of His awesomeness and inexplicable love for me!!

That's all I have and I think that's enough to cover all top 10 hump day happiness slots!

Tootles for now~
