Jeremiah 29:11-13

"[11]For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [12] Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. [13] And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

My Bucket of tears is almost full

I have two weeks left of my semester. Two weeks of finalizing projects and writing. Two weeks of getting my last minute things done in my classes. Or so I thought, tonight, I came home from work and went online to check my stuff out for my theories paper I have due. I thought it was one of those papers, I could do in a couple of days and be done with it. However, something was nagging at me to check my syllabus again tonight. When I did, i figured out that I have more to do on that paper than I thought. So, I go into panic mode. I know that is not good to do. Anyway, I am trying to get my mind together to figure out what to do and I can't quit thinking "I have more than I thought I did. I screwed up!" So I called my friend Rachel and talked to her about my situation. You know, God puts people in your lives for certain reasons and I believe Rach is in mine to help in moments of panic, like tonight. After talking to her for a while, I calmed down A LOT! She helped me come up with a plan to get this and my other stuff done before the due date. When I got off the phone, I felt better, not 100%, but better than I did. Then, i did the next thing I knew I needed to do and what I should have done to start with...I prayed. I asked God to give me the strength and use my time wisely the next two weeks. I'm not a real expert on being able to go to a passage in the Bible in every situation so I don't know what other verse to use here except Philipans 4:13...'I can do all things thru Christ which strengthens me.' And if I do say so myself it fits prefect for this moment.

Lord,
I come to you now to ask for your guidance in the next few weeks concerning my school work Lord. I just ask that you guide me to use my time wisely and give me the strength to get through these two weeks Lord. Lord, I know we all make mistakes and this just proves that I make them too. An oversite, on my part, does not mean I have to get a bad grade on the paper. Lord, please help me through the next 2 wks and I pray that my efforts to show Lord. Thank you for all you have given me and done for me Lord. I love you, In Jesus' name. Amen.
