Rough Days

It's been some rough few days here at LP. I'm just trying to survive through work tomorrow and then there will be freedom. 

Yesterday I was VERY busy! I had ADP bible study at 8am and then immediately after I went to Leader's/Servant's training. From there I rushed back to project, ate lunch, studied, and then went to evangelism training. Instead of going on the beaches yesterday to share the gospel we stayed at the church and got into groups with the people we work with from LP and prayed for our coworkers and prayed for our service to them. We got done a bit early so I had the opportunity to study a bit more for my test which was set to be proctored at HGT at 5pm. I got there about 25 minutes early and I had a bad feeling before I left. Well I got there and they didn't have any of my testing information. I bawled my eyes out in the proctor center which was rather embarrassing. Haha! But the lady there was very helpful and nice and is allowing me to just drop in whenever my test becomes available. She also allowed me to use their computers to contact my professor to get the info sent as soon as possible. So I cried my eyes out the whole way back to project. 

I got back and started helping the girls prepare for our group date. We cooked them a wonderful dinner served in the garage on project and gave them white tshirts with their names on the back. Then, we went to Market Common and played Never Have I Ever with paint and squirted each other. In the end it turned into a paint war. And for the finale we went to Coldstone and got ice cream! We met a lot of other Campus Outreach groups while we were there from Charlotte and Minnesota which was awesome. It was the best group date I've been on including all of them from last year. And let's just say I may still have paint remnants on my body from last night. 

This morning I woke up early to spend some time with God and studying a few verses. After my time with him I studied a bit for my class just in case I was going to get the confirmation that morning. I was planning to leave ADP early to do so. As I looked into my book bag a thought hit me: I didn't have my calculator when I went to take my test the first time! And a calculator is very crucial for my test. By the grace of God I didn't take that test. I was suddenly excited but still anxious because I hadn't heard from my professor. The day went by and still hasn't heard. I even called and left a message for her but no response.

Just a bit ago after curfew I was sitting with one of my girls at the table in our room just talking and I was about to draw some tears again, because it was so late and tomorrow is my last chance, and then I got an email from my professor! She apologized and said I had slipped through the cracks. Erin had already offered to work my shift tomorrow afternoon if that's what it took. However, I soon came to realize that the testing center is only open 8am-noon on Fridays. But it still works out well even though I will have to miss part of my Leaders D Group and bible study training. Our team leader, Sara, is being such a servant to help out and be there for me to help my girls during training tomorrow. God has his hand on me even when I'm having trouble finding good in things. I'm extremely thankful for what he has given me.

Tomorrow my mom is coming for parents weekend so I'm extremely excited to get away for a bit and relax. It's perfect timing. God's timing. Prayers for me and my room for this weekend would be greatly appreciated.
