god gave me time


this morning i woke up at 8:30. i dont have class til 11 but today i needed to meet up with mark and mallory (on campus, at 10) to go over a new program that mark wrote. so that meant i had an hour and a half to finish up the reading assignments that i chose not to do on saturday. [actually, my bus comes at 9:43 so it meant i only had an hour-ish to finish it. ]

with only an hour ahead of me i thought to myself, "scriptures...? or homework...? scriptures...? or homework...? scriptures...? or homework...?" and after a few milliseconds of tossing my options back and forth i was reminded of my #1 goal for 2010: put god first. so i did.

i read my scriptures and an ensign talk and then moved on to my homework. at 9:10 i got a call from mark. he said he'd be running a little late so he wouldnt be on campus til 10:30. seeing as i didnt have to be on campus til 10:30, i could catch the 10:13 bus instead of the 9:43 bus which gave me 30 EXTRA minutes. and i finished my reading with just enough time to get dressed, grab an apple to go, and walk to my bus stop. it was a miracle. :)

its true...things always work out when you put god first.
