Answered Prayers

The past few weeks have been crazy. Between all of my classes, attempts at "getting involved", the hope of a guy and the disappointment of another, and the late night chats on the porch swing, I have been constantly on the go. But, daily I've tried to remind myself to make all things answered prayers. I know God answers all, but I also know that personally, I forget to tell God a lot, forget to let him show me his will through the daily details of my life. But when I do ask God for the simple things like having someone to go to lunch with or helping me not freak out (in general), I know everything that follows is a list of answered prayers. There's always a peace about knowing I'm in God's palm instead of trying to fit into my own. My roommate, friends up and down the hall, and even across campus in Grim have all been, although I just met them a few weeks ago, the topic of my prayers for months...now all answered in such a great way. That disappoint caused by just one guy, answered prayer. Getting involved, it's the middle of rush week, but that too will soon be answered prayer. I don't always get what I ask for, but that's the roller-coaster of life (and sometimes my emotions)...and that's o.k.
