i'd like to thank you for not praying...

I've been busy lately, of course when am I not? This week and next week are midterms coupled with papers and presentations and finding time to get everything done has been hard. I, though, have priorities (and have learned in my political science class that yes I am rational because will always order them in the same way no matter what order they are presented to me in ^_^). My top priority is pursuing God, that is through scripture reading, church and community with believers and whether I have a midterm the next day or simply work I will always choose my Christ centered focus first. So, while I had a midterm this morning I still chose to go to A Night with the Chapmans last night, which was wonderful and I'll tell you about later, but consequently didn't get in any study time. I prayed fervently to find time to study, but afterward last night and this morning time was not showing itself. Walking to my first class this morning I thought, "well I hope I learned enough in class cause I'm not going to get to review." As I walked into the Fine Arts building though I saw people from my class walking out and grumbling and then saw that beautiful white piece of paper on the door saying class was cancelled. Obviously others had not been praying to learn their lesson about music this morning and God granted my request for study time. So, I got an hour. My next prayer was that God would help me focus on what the important information was so I didn't waste my time with things I didn't know and once I received the test I was the 4th person done and I'm pretty sure I only missed one question. In my limited time I hadn't had time to look at certain examples and had completely missed a column of ideas I was supposed to know, yet miraculously none of those were on the test. After walking out I was joined by another girl who had focused her studies on the last column saying, "those seemed like the ones she was most concerned about." Followed by a few other derogatory remarks.

While I know that if others had been praying for there to be class or maybe she had been praying for her study time to be blessed my sovereign God would have worked it out. He's always proven himself to be all powerful so I think he could have done it. I'm just thankful that he heard my prayers and cares even about me passing my midterm!! I certainly do have a great God!
