Stupid Books!!!!

So I just finished purchasing all my books recently and I've been slowly receiving them... All these book sellers give their books a better condition rating then the actual condition of the book... Its so irritating to receive books that are not in the condition that I expect them to be in! Yes, I am a picky person... but if I'm going to pay more for a better conditioned book then I want it to be in the right condition! HAHA!!

Aside from that I bid on this set of anatomy books on ebay a month back or so, and it just so happened that the day I decided to look up my books I found this great deal on a set of books I needed. I was super excited because I found these books 2 hours before the bidding was going to end, I thought it was like a God given gift!

Weeks have passed, I have not received the books and there was so response from the seller regarding my purchase so I filed a claim with ebay... after that the seller responded and wasn't even willing to work things out with me and said he wouldn't be able to go through with the purchase due to a family emergency... I was really irritated at first, but eventually the seller said that he was away from home because his mother had fallen ill. I was still irritated, and said something along the lines of 'Ok. I'll be expecting my refund."

But as the days passed the Holy Spirit kept encouraging me to say a pray for him, but I really didn't want to because it would make me feel awkward since that person was a total stranger to me... eventually I gave in and wrote a pray in my response to the seller and he responded 'Its hard to say how this made me feel. Thank you is all I can say.' I'm not sure if this was positive or negative, but I can be hopeful that he felt the love of God through the prayer.

The moral of the story: God might put you in uncomfortable situations sometimes, but everything He does is according to His will and purpose, so just trust Him to know whats best for you and for others whom He loves :)

Busy Busy

Life has been somewhat busy with preparation for school and also doing a volunteer supervising type thing, in addition to my other activities. Even if you're busy, don't forget to take the time to show love to the important people in your life. I'm thankful for everyone that God has put in my life!! Thank you for all the love and support and encouragement through thick and thin!

What is even more important, if you're Christian, is to be sure to make time for God. There are so many days in which I put God on the backburner; times when I don't pray, worship, praise, say grace, or even think about God. How it must break his heart to know this, that his children that he loves so dearly do not even think of him! I pray that this will not be the case for any Christian, myself included. May we all take the time to speak, listen, and wait on our God. Amen.
