Trust and Obey

What a topsy-turvey week I've had! Going from freaking out to peace, to freaking out again...then more peace. I'm on a rollercoaster that I don't think it going to stop any time soon. But I just want to write down what God has been doing in my life. It may seem tiny and not-so-amazing, but it's meant a lot to me, especially now. Two things in particular were really worrying me. First, my grade in my Total Rewards class. I had gotten a D on the first test. There are only 3 tests in the whole class, and they make of pretty much all of the grade. I was really frustrated and just worried because I was afraid I wouldn't do well on the second test. Generally, this may not be something to go berzerk over, but since I'm graduating, anything that could stand in my way was magnified 10 fold. So I studied studied studied for the next test, took it, then waiting anxiously for a week till our next class. I get to class and the professor tells us that the highest grade was an 86%. My heart immediately dropped. I started contemplating ways in which I could convince the professor to give me extra credit etc etc because I really believed I didn't do well. I went to pick up my test, not looking at it at first. Then I turned it over to find that I had gottent he 86%! I've never been so happen to get a B in all my life. LOL. Secondly, I was worried about getting a presentation completed for the Undergraduate Symposium. As a communication major, I naturally assumed I had to have a nice power point complete with bullet points and maybe pictures. However, I was supposed to be presenting the short story I had published this fall. What was I going to include? Basically, I couldn't get it done. I was prepared to tell my mentor, Dr. Griffith, that I would not be participating. I'm about to tell him the news, when he informs me that all I have to do is read my story outloud, no presenation, just reading. I wish I had known that before, but still, I was very relieved. Those things, on top of us having just the right amount of money to pay off the last of my bill so that I could graduate, have added up to many blessings for me this month. Nick pointed out to me yesterday that even though I've been worried and afraid about my future, God has been showing me that His plan is for me to graduate in May. He's be providing all the means for me to do so, even when it looks like it might be difficult or unattainable. I don't know what else the immediate future holds, but I do know that He is really looking out for me and I need to just Trust and Obey.
