it IS possible...!

Ohhhh my word, why am I blogging on a *gasp* Sunday Afternoon?!

It's naptime! But I'm resisting sweet sleep since I'm supposed to be typing the first draft of a paper for school. But here I am on Bloogger....

Anyway, I want to DECLARE something! LOL

It's probably nothing to most people but it's something to me cuz I kinda sorta challenged God. I know, I know, one shouldn't do such things. But I distinctly remember starting college maybe during my second year or so.... maybe the first year. I recall during some time around there, I was  looking a the school schedule to figure out what classes to take and telling Him, 
"Okay God, You've gotta make a way to allow me to be at all of the church services and still go to school." 
It was easy when I worked at Family Christian Store with my little part time gig. It was kinda easy still when I started my first office job, working from 12pm - 6pm. It started getting dicey when I started to work full-time.

But saints, I declare unto you that He "accepted" my challenge and He made a way for those tricky schedules to work out for me. Sure, it did take me a bit longer to finish due to taking a break from school and from having to wait a semester or so for classes I needed to become available for my special time slots. But He did it! 

Take this final semester for example. I wanted a class only on Monday evenings so that I would never have to miss class when I went out of town in July for Heritage conference. I also wanted a particular professor since he's really good. And God did it! I'm not even getting to the conference after all (booooooo) but God granted my request Exactly!

My pastor always always Always talks about putting God first in everything we do and allowing Him to work it all out. 

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33

Sooo, it is totally possible to attend all of your church services and finish school while working full-time {and while sometimes precariously balancing a full-time course-load}! God proved Himself once again to me and I'm soo thankful because I often need to be reminded that He's got this {as in, "all these things"}.

:o)
