| So, today was probably one of my worst days this semester. Everything seemed to go wrong. First, off I went to breakfast and swiped my card. It wouldn't work, i swiped again, still nothing. So, I wasn't able to get breakfast. So, I picked up the appt that was in Coburn and headed off to work. When I get to work, i see that a couple of appointments were not put on the whiteboard (a circumstance that really irks me). I put them up and then start the day with what i usually do, pickups then deliveries. That goes well, and I start working on my EDU project that was due today. I get that done (which might I say is PERFECT!). I get off of work and head back to the dorm and take a nap until 12:00 cause that is when my class is. The nap went fairly well, i had a really bad dream that I still can't shake, and prolly won't be able to for a long time. It got me thinking about a few things (possibly another post later). I awoke at 12:10 with 5 minutes left to get to class. Apparently I had set the alarm to 12:00 AM rather than PM. So yea that sucked. I was running out the door and I grabbed my jump drive and put it in my right pocket. This is the drive that has my perfect project on that i am presenting today. I run out the door with my materials and head to class. When i arrive in the BAC, i unload my pocket which has my drive in it and i notice that my jump drive is gone. I also notice that my writing utensil is gone as well. So, with that being said i run back to my dorm and look for the drive. Needless to say, I didnt find it. So, i go back to class and check my pockets one more time. I pull my pocket out and notice that there is a hole in my right pocket. So, my jump drive is somewhere between Ebersold 2 and BAC 38. What's more, is that the groundskeepers were mowing today. Yea, that sucked. Other things that went wrong today were: the drink machine took my 2 dollars; my scapel broke today in vert lab; wal-mart "forgot" to order my tires for my car. Well, with all that being said, it is time to take the title of this blog into account. Reflecting over the past day i have noticed that God was blessing me in every picture. In whatever happened, I saw him blessing me in another way. Take for instance the dream. Yea, the dream was bad, but it showed me things that i need to work on in my own life. It showed the reprocussions of some bad decisions that i could have made. Another example was me losing the jump drive. It was a lesson in self-preparation. I stupidly didn't have the jump drive backed up on my hard drive. It shows me that I will never do that again. ANd I can only say that when i make the webpage again, it will be a far better design than its predacessor(sp?). Drink machine: I was going to buy a Dr. Pepper. I have sworn off caffeinated carbonated beverages. I wound up getting a fruit punch poweraid, which is alot better than the former option. Scapel breaking: My scapel broke, but i got through with all of the dissecting that needed to be done. tires: Yea wal-mart decided not to order my tires until today, but the fam really didn't have the money to pay for those tires until next week. It would be far more easier to pay for them next week when momma gets paid. Also, coming back gives me an excuse to go see Kerri, which by all means i want to do. i want to spend every minute with her. The point of this blog is to show that God works. Even when we think we are having a bad day, God is there blessing us, and sometimes we just have to stop, analyze the situation, and know that God is in control. Like the psalmist says "Be still, know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I will be exalted to the ends of the earth" Psalm 46:10 (My own translation). Father, right now I want to thank you for today. I want to thank you for blessing me today. Father forgive me when i dont notice your blessings. Father, i pray that you would soften my heart to be able to comprehend all of the blessings you are giving me every day. I love you Father, thank you Father. Thank you for sending your Son to die for our sins, because without him, we would surely be lost. Father I thank you for sending Kerri into my life. Father, I ask that you strengthen our relationship, and draw us closer together, but ultimately, draw both of us closer to You. Father, once again I come in awe of your glory and majesty. Father, be with me now as i go to sleep. Allow me to keep my thoughts on You as I go into this time of renewal. Father, forgive me for when I fail you. Forgive me of all of my sins. I love you Father. Amen and Amen! GOD BLESS!!!!!! EDIT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My jump drive was turned in! Praise be to God and Daniel Spencer. I could just hug him right now! |
