Cloudy with a chance of Blessings

Earlier today, I rode to school on my bike, like every other morning, and things were looking pretty good. Everything was almost peachy one might say. After Calculus, I went home on the bus because I didn't feel like riding my bike. On the way home, I was just talking to God casually and asked Him if He could bless me with patience. Normally I don't ask for such a difficult thing to grasp for fear that the trials that He would later give me would definitely test me. Nevertheless, I felt I needed a God-sized amount of patience. So I made my petition and went on to study; and boy did He bring on the trials!

My physics homework had made little to no sense whatsoever; I could not concentrate at all. Feeling quite frustrated, I took a little nap. When I woke up, I remembered that a friend of mine, Jared, wanted to go to the Rec center today so I unenthusiastically went. When I arrived at school, I went to get my bike and ride to the rec. That wasn't going to happen soon for my bike's back tire was completely flat. Leaving the bike there, I walked to the rec center, feeling the blistering cold and rain pummel my body. After about an hour, my journey to class, in Blocker, wasn't that great as well. The rain poured down a little harder, completely soaking my sweater making it even more colder than it already was. One would think that I just got impatient, but I pulled through and just praised God for the good things that He has done in my life.

After Physics, I walked out and a fellow classmate, Ryan, started talking to me about the test we are going to have. He lets me know that the problems on past tests are 10 times easier than the homework. Immediately, I feel a great relief in my heart because if I just study the past tests more than the homework, then I would be better off! After that little chat, I get the sudden urge to call a friend of mine, Jon. It turned out that he was on campus at the time and he was going to be able to fix my bike, since I have no idea how to.

So I've pretty much been extremely blessed in one day and its all because I asked God for a little patience. Sometimes, you just have to push through the rain of uncertainty so that you may find the calm in the storm.

Well, I'm off to study! Night!
