Kind prosperity

A muddled brain, that's what I had last night as I studied for my final test, over all the book work of the past two weeks. 9 chapters, long chapters, countless hand-outs, endless abbreviations, not to mention all the notes. After 2 hours I couldn't think anymore. I watched a bit of a movie and went to bed, going over all the pulse points. Carotid, Apical, Brachial, Radial, Femoral, Poptieal, Pedal. Guess what, I woke up saying the same thing.

The past two weeks I have been praying that the Lord would help me. Just help me get through this. If He wanted me to be here He would need to help me remember all these things. I have a horrible memory. I had been so frustrated this week with everything. I cried going to class and coming home. I hate stress, a lot. I am a tactile learner. I don't like book studying. I was not looking forward to today. I told June last night before bed that if I didn't pass the test, I was going to drop out of the class.

I got up this morning with cold hands and a cold stomach. I was anxious and nervous to say the least, and you guessed it, I cried going to class. I so wanted to stay home and play with Wee Man, as they had stayed overnight so Superman could continue to work on building the shed for me.

I was the second one in class, the other gal who was there was already studying her notes. I just sat down and prayed. Class started and the instructor handed out the test. I hate tests. I took a deep breathe and said, 'Okay, Lord, please help me.' After finishing it, I looked over the test again and changed one answer. I turned it over and waited. When everyone was finished, we corrected them. I was floored with my results, I hadn't missed one! I think the Lord made it cleared I wouldn't be quitting the class. I was so overjoyed. What relief! All I could say was, 'Thank you Lord.'

God does hear my prayers. I never really doubted it, but it is always nice to see the hard evidence. So often through the Psalms we read phrases like, 'this poor man cried', and 'hear my cry oh Lord'... In the book of John it says, 'If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.' I am so grateful for my early morning time with the Lord, eating of His word, taking it in, thinking on it. It makes such a difference.

Deut 29- "And I led you forty years (48 in my case) in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot...in order that you might know that I am the Lord your God...so keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do." Today, through God's grace, mercy and kindness, today I prospered.
