I can't help it, cause I don't know what else I need to know for tomorrows lab practicum... Man, totally just have to hang on for two more weeks, til winter break.. well that is, only if the Lord hasn't called me home by then. Another opportunity to practice that patience again.
So today, I as I was freezing in my room while studying; I decided to, turn on a heater in my room, then go eat dinner which happened to be my favorite fried fish and rice (no, really) and make some hot tea, cause I dislike the cold and love tea aha. Anyways, then after I prayed and started eating, I realized while freezing, that I was eating my favorite food, drinking uhh I guess you can say a favorite drink, and had a heater warming up my room as I eat and drink this wonderful meal haha and that was when I totally felt grateful. I mean here I am hungry, freezing in cold weather while studying for a final; then I just see God's providence right in front of my face.
I'm hungry, and I've been provided food on the table once again.
I'm freezing, but I'm blessed with a roof over my head and a heater!
I'm studying for a final, which means I've been given an opportunity to go to college.
Like seriously, the Lord has been so gracious to me and I'm very glad that He (not myself, but Him. *Psalm 16:2) has been reminding me that He has. It reminded me something that the senior pastor at my local church (www.sbcac.org), Pastor Felix said while preaching two Sundays ago, I remember him saying something along the lines of "God sent us problems so we will praise Him." So there I was with problems somewhat, and then totally praising Him! An amazing God, He is. Sorry I can't think of a verse at the moment that totally goes with His providence, forgive me. But, how bout you share a verse that does (: I'd totally appreciate it. I can't really think straight right now, and yes I know it's not an excuse... Okay, I should get back to studying... or sleep ha.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Two of a few of my favorite verses are about God's providence, and since you asked, here you go: Ecclesiastes 3:11 and Genesis 50:22 "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end....." + "What man meant for evil, God meant for good..." Totally loving your random posts, and so happy I am getting opportunities to get to know you better, Ica :)
Ooops! I meant Genesis 50:20 not verse 22 hehehehehe!
