Relief

Hello November??
Say What?
ALREADY?!

I can't believe this term is more than half way; time is just ticking and tocking away. It seems like the more things I have to do, the less I notice how the duration of the school term is shortening day by day, week by week, and there goes a month.

Where is daylight saving by the way? I really can't take another pitch black 6am morning call for class no more.

I was in exasperated pain this morning, and it had to do with the washroom, so to save you from another disturbing post like this one (but quite the opposite), I'll just leave it for you to interpret.

Thus, I had planted a seed in my head that it was going to be a bad day. Though, I did managed to do a quick 180 with my mindset and was determined to make it a good one and not let any negative aspects get to me since I tend to dwell on one negative factor for a while.

As usual, today I went to class, went for a run, went to another class, went to my sewing lab, got lots accomplished, and there goes the same routine as any other day. Nothing special happened, nothing bothered me, nothing stood out, my education filled day finished its course and I was heading home.

I took out my phone to check the time and I realized I had missed a call and I had one voice message. So I called my voice mail and I listened. The more I listened to this unknown voice, the more interested I became in what he had to say, and by the end of the message, I was completely overjoyed. I called the person back to confirm everything and there I was sitting happily as I waited for the bus driver to drive me home, sitting and smiling over a scholarship I am now the recipient of.

I couldn't help but say a quick prayer and realize that its been a while I prayed in public. All the while, I felt it was an encouragement from God, relieving all my worries, doubts, and circumstances for the future. When my to do list is a mile long, I forget that He should be at the top with me to endure through everything, not at the bottom where "I'll get to Him when everything is done" mentality. I feel so blessed that God never ceases to provide and surprise me in the most unexpected ways.

And when He's not on my mind, I'm always on His.

P.S.
Dear Fruits & Veggies:
Sorry for neglecting you, but thanks for reminding me of your providence of fiber in helping my body digest food and allow for easy waste relief. I have learned my lesson the hard way to always listen and eat my daily allotment of fruits and veges. (I think You should too!)
