Hectic Morning

Well this morning kinda sucked.  I have been a little sleep deprived because of a small addiction to COD (Call of Duty: World at War) don't get any crazy ideas. haha

I mean even if i didn't mention that game i still am just not going to bed early so that kinda took a toll on me today.  Basically i had about 2 hours of sleep the night before and so my body thought it would be a great idea to make up for some of that sleep this morning, you know, when i was supposed to be places.

Well this morning started with a call from Andrew Walden because we were playing at Walton's FCA this morning.  He had called me twice before and i had slept through 3 different alarms on my phone before getting his call.  So i completely missed that FCA.  Luckily i was only playing hand percussion and not guitar or speaking.

So then my day continued to suck as a stayed awake for about 45 minutes as i tried to go back to bed for another hour and a half before waking up for school.  3 hours later i wake up when i am supposed to be leaving for class.  I mean COME ON!!! REALLY, i couldn't believe that i had slept through another alarm after i pushed the snooze buttons a few times. So i rushed off to school, or really tried to before remembering that my parking decal thing was not in my car and so i spent 15 minutes searching for it before finding it in between my Bibles that i put in my back pack.

So i get to class 30 minutes late but only after my teacher had left the class a little angry.  So any who my day was crazy and hectic but i wasn't ever really worried the whole time.  Sure i was a little stressed but i listened to some praise and worship music and just drove to school.  Honestly my morning has been crazy and hectic but in all of this mess i have the faith and trust in God that it is all going to be ok.

On the other hand, my teacher who left in a furry doens't believe in God and because of things that didn't go as planned with the class, and because of the economy and the state of the United States, she is worried out of her mind.  Because she doesn't have a faith in something greater, God, she has no hope and she feels the weight of the world is on her shoulders.  She feels that she has to fix everything.

It is interesting to me how having faith and a hope in something more then yourself can be so relaxing.  It is interesting to me that having faith and trust and a real God who desires to advance His kingdom can be so peaceful and stress relieving.  Also, in the midst of all this, it is amazing how we as believers can unveil peoples eyes to the hope, joy and peace that is really around us all the time.  God gives us these opportunities and a group member of mine from that class is burdened for our teacher.

How amazing is God!
