This is the story of a girl in her twenties who has felt the call of God to teach children about Him for some time now. She feels this is her mission in life and why God created her. She is part of a bigger story, one that is constantly being written.

Too Beautiful to Be Bad
Okay, so maybe I was hoping it was love. I nervously accept his offer as he invites me to sit in the booth with him. I have on the standard truck stop t-shirt, my long blonde hair is piled on top of my head in a messy bun, and I smell like barbecue. Much to my dismay, this man seems genuinely interested in me as a person. Most people that come in the truck stop assume I live in the run down trailor behind the restaurant and probably draw welfare for the four children they assume I have. Not him. I told him about my dreams of teaching kindergarten one day and how I was studying early childhood education at the local university. I told him I taught a 2nd Grade Girls' Sunday School Class at my church. I told him I love cheese fries, and that's the only way they keep me working at the truck stop. I told him I love kareoke. He told me he knew of a good local joint and that it was his 30th birthday. He told me a few of his friends wanted to take him out to celebrate. He said he really wasn't into the bar scene anymore and was getting a little old for it. He said if a pretty girl like me would join them though, that he might have a reason to celebrate. It slightly occurred to me that he might be the type of person that regularly picks up truck stop waitresses, but looking into his gorgeous blue eyes, I soon dismissed the notion. He was too beautiful to be bad. At least I hoped...
