Joy!

Waking up a 6:00am is no picnic, especially if you were up until 3:00am that night. I got up this morning with such a distain for sunlight, birds and little sisters. I took a shower, said goodbye to Jen and drove to Albany around 7:30am. Just before I left I prayed to the Lord for help, all the stress of the week was about to collapse on me. I have three papers due soon, I have to register for LSAT’s and be able to pay for them and get a criminal justice class waived. I arrived at The University at Albany about 40 minutes before class started so I could do my homework. It took 25 minutes to look for a parking spot. I found one: The doctor’s office parking lot. After a long walk to the campus I arrived in the library. With a prayer to God, I got my homework for Portuguese completed. Five minutes after this miracle I went to class, fought off sleep and finally finished up class at 11:20am. As soon as class ended I ran back to my car and headed downtown to Draper Hall [Criminal Justice Dept. Office]. I had to go down to Draper to talk to the Dean about waiving a class, I prayed on my way to the office for two things: The Dean to waive my class and a parking spot. I think the bigger miracle happened first; I got a parking spot right near the door. As I climbed the steps to the Dean’s office I stayed in a continual state of prayer. I found the Dean was very friendly and waived my class without issue. I got back into my car, got lunch and headed back to my dorm. I just signed got to sign up for my LSAT’s and will be taking them in February. I have been so stressed over so many issues; it’s nice to know that someone is looking out for me. Whether it be relationships, money or not knowing how you will graduate put your trust in the Lord.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
–Proverbs 3:4-6

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.” –Psalms 121

God is good. That is all.
