It's all about trust!

This weekend I learned a very important lesson. One that is vital in my walk with Christ. I learned to fully trust him with my life!
I mean, I always trusted in him but there was always a part of me that questioned God's reasoning for me.
"Why is this happening?"
"What could I possibly learn from this?"

This weekend my father was planning to come to visit us from Michigan. I don't get to see him very often so when I do it's a big occasion. The morning he was supposed to arrive I recieved a call. He explained to me that there was a huge snowstorm that hit Ohio making his bus dicuss the possibility of cancelling. He said he would call me later to give me the results of the discussion.
The moment I got off the phone I prayed that I would get to see my father later that day. An hour had passed before I recived the verdict.
He couldn't make it!
I was crushed!
I then began to wonder why God didn't let my dad come to me. It wasn't till my father called me back later that day that I recieved that answer.
" I can come in two weeks." My dad stated while trying to make the situation better.
As he said this, I glanced at my calendar. Two weeks was Easter weekend!. My dad hadn't been with us for Easter in at least 3 years! That's when I knew that this was all in God's plan. He wanted my dad to be with his family on Easter.

At that moment, I hit my knees and gave him praise!

Something must be done about procrastination.....I'll do it tomorrow

I will just go ahead and admit it now.....I am a procrastinator. I realized how bad I really was today. I completed a 4 page core paper 2 hours before it was due. I had 2 weeks to do it and and waited until the last possible moment. The sad thing is, I know I am not the only one who commits the crime of procrastination.

Why are we so likely to push back things until they can be pushed back no longer?

Are we just lazy as a society?

Is there anything we can do to improve the amount of procrastination that exists or will that itself become pushed back into the Things To Do pile?

Dealing with today

Dealing with Today, what a perfect way to describe not only my life (particularly the happenings of today), but the lives of society in general. Isn't that what we all do, is deal, get by. Well what if I'm done with simply dealing, simply getting by with my life. Today made me realize that life is not something to deal with, it's something to, well live and enjoy. If we simply Deal with life and forget to live it we've gone nowhere. And, I mean, I don't want you to think I'm trying to preach to you. I just wanted to give you something to think about. I'm just one of those people that believes everything happens for a reason and I hate to think that reason is for us to simply get by with life. Of course I am welcome to your thoughts and opinions and yes this very well could be all my emotions flooding into the computer at the moment. I just felt it was important to get that out and allow it to dwell in your mind for awhile so I could get it out of mine.
