God comes through...of course

i was reading yesterday this book on how to interpret psalms and it said in speaking of psalm 30 which is a psalm of thanksgiving: how we pray for God's help in time of need and how we quickly forget how he helped us through.

so i just want to take time to thank him and specifically for 2 things that happened yesterday and today, of how he showed up in real concrete ways.

so ive talked about how im so thankful for this job that God has provided and given to me and its really quite amazing whats been going on. for starters, 3 weeks into my job and i already got a raise. apparently the company instituted an across the board pay raise and according to a fellow co-worker this has never happened before. another thing was that there are these seminars that you can take to increase your pay scale even more and they offer these once a month and the next one offered was beginning of March. the only thing about this was that it conflicts w/ my school hours but i really wanted to do this so i signed up for it. now i already missed 2 classes and you are only allowed to skip twice and still get credit for it. i missed it once b/c of the flu and the following b/c of training. and now this next one would be number 3 and i would not be able to get credit for it, but to me this was more important than getting credit for the class so i was ready to ask my prof if i can skip the next class and still allow me to go on to the next continuing class next term. another thing to add to this confusion was that i have a presentation to do in class which i thought was the following week but in class i find out that im scheduled to do it the day i was planning to take off! BUT...the prof starts off the class saying: im sorry but i have to cancel the next class b/c i will be in tokyo for a seminar and i need to ask when would be a good date for the make up session!!! unreal!!!
but then this story gets another layer added as i find out my gaba seminar runs from 10 to roughly 5:30 and i was actually scheduled for a 6:15 class with at least a 30 min train ride in between and so even if i run from one to another i probably would not be able to make...BUT...i just called my school and find out that not only would the session end earlier than i thought but that im not scheduled to start until 7 that day so it ALL worked out!!!
and anyway, if you werent able to follow all the details...sorry but the bottom line is that God came through!!! and im just so psyched and wanted to share that...

grace and peace
