I'm sure pretty much all of you know that I am a jam-packed-schedule type of girl. I like to go-go-go and rarely make time for myself. I have always felt that I thrive under pressure and can get things done on the fly.
Sometimes this leads me into situations where it seems I have too much to do and too little time. I have been able to see God working in my life in these times... some this week!
Let me lay out the homework that I have had this week....
discussion questions due Tuesday, quiz due Wednesday, 10-15 page interview paper due Friday, and 30-40 slide powerpoint due Friday.... on top of this I babysit every morning, go to class from 11:30-1 and then babysit from 1 until 5ish.
Holy smokes, right?? Well on my way across town to babysit Wednesday morning, I was praying (cause car rides are phenomenal for that) and was asking God to work through my schedule to allow everything to get done and get done well.
Well God answered my prayer less than 30 minutes later. The woman I babysit for teaches exercise classes... and no one showed up for her class that morning---so I got to leave 15 minutes after getting to my babysitting gig. This allowed me to get things printed off for class and do a 45 minute interview necessary for my paper! WOW!
I share this with you all in the hopes that it will remind you to 1) pray to God-its not our first instinct to lift up our day to day situations, but he still cares and has control over them and 2) to remember to look for the answers to our prayers-they may not be what we expect, but He does answer them, and its such a blessing to realize that.

I'm not good with faithful prayer. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Its good to see that God does answer prayer everyday, for little things. I just need to look for his answers.
I've gotten into the bad habit of only praying in emergencies, which is awful! I agree with driving being a great time to pray! And I also agree that you are super busy. Which always stresses me out, so props to you for liking it. You are a fantastic person, and you def lead me by example. In H20 skiing, in curly hairs, and in your love fo Jesus.
