My family came to visit this weekend. It was wonderful. I really missed them last weekend when I went home with Kelly and I saw her with her family. So I was really glad to see them. They came late Friday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. They brought a ton of food with them. My roommate Nicole was really happy to see fishballs =D She thought they were weird when I first had them back in September but now she loves them.
Anyhow, my weekend was crazy busy because my family was here and I had all this work piled up. After they left yesterday I sat down and looked at my to do list and I felt really stressed. There was an overwhelming amount of work and I needed to prepare for clinic today and it was just too much. I ended up just putting it aside for a bit and had some quiet time. I've been reading Joshua, and yesterday in chapter 10 I read "And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel" (verse 42). I read that and I thought "God, I need you to fight for me". I knew I needed him on my side, pulling things together for me because I'd completely fall apart on my own. After I prayed I did some more work and went to bed. Then this morning I woke up to an email telling me that clinic was cancelled today because of the weather and I had a day off! I was so relieved and thankful. God has been faithful in so many ways these past weeks. It seems like every time I acknowledge my weakness and inadequacy, God responds and answers prayer. So today I was able to cross stuff off my to do list, and I will continue to trust and rely on His provision daily.
