Two More Days Until We Start School

I seriously thought about putting it off another week. I just don't feel like I've got it all together. I've been tweeking schedules, looking through our books, downloading things from the net, and checking to see that my plan meets my objectives. Add to that the craziness that has been going on trying to get things pulled together for my son to get transferred over to OSU, plus the fact that we will be gone Friday so that we can get his stuff over to Stillwater and into his dorm. Right about now I could use a vacation.

Funny thing is here we stand just two days till school starts and everything is beginning to fall in place of its own accord. It can only be the Lord's hand. How else is it that a text book that I ordered and was told two days ago would not be available until the end of next week should arrive today. Today I also found a book that I had needed to buy but couldn't afford on the net for free. It's an older version but I don't care, there's not that much difference between the two editions. It's like that old saying "The Lord is never early, but he's always right on time."

Isn't it funny how He cares about even the little things. Sometimes I find myself saying to myself, Oh it's not important enough to pray about. Suck it up. But God is our Father and just like I want to hear about even the seemingly unimportant thing from my boys, so He wants to hear from us. Imagine if your husband came home day after day and sat in the same room with you, at the food you place before him, wore the clothes and slept in the bed that you prepared for him. Imagine that he took all that you offered but never once talked to you let alone said thank you. I think that must be how God feels sometimes.

I feel such joy when my husband praises me. He feels the same when I praise him. I want to know about his day and he wants to know about mine even if it just goofy things. If we are the bride for Christ, and we are, then doesn't it make sense that God feels the same way about us? If we are going to spend an eternity with Him than maybe we should start working on getting to know Him here and know and that starts with prayer even over the little things.
