good friends and time off...

when i got my schedule for work this week i was a little angry... i had a grand total of 5 hours - monday 8(a.m.)-1... i like having 20-25 hours a week, if possible... so, i was a little annoyed... with promises of "next week's schedule will be better," i tried to be optimistic...

then, a good friend called me yesterday, kind of out of the blue... and i realized i had time to hang out with her this week because of no work... and i ran into another friend at the fort after the fireworks who i hadn't seen or talked to in over a month... and we're supposed to hang out this week... and then another friend called me this morning and we got to hang out this afternoon... she is moving to texas on monday... so i'm thankful for this week, because we get to hang out on thursday...

today, i went over to hang out with my friend while she packed... and it was one of the most refreshing things i have experienced in a while... lately church has been so refreshing... but there aren't a lot of other things outside of that that bring so much joy and refreshment as today did. we were able to talk about what God is doing in our lives and ministry and relationships... wow...

all of that to say... despite my bad attitude, God knew exactly what i needed this week... good times with good friends and some time off... plus i have some summer school homework to catch up on... i laugh at how if i would just stop and look around, i see how God has control of it all... and all i need to do is trust Him... this is something i know (with my head) and need to know with my heart...
