Finals and Blessings

We are so much in the hands of our Heavenly Father. When I think about the many blessings he has given me, the love that is all around me, at times, I cannot comprehend it. This last week has been trying in so many ways. I have found myself exhausted, physically, mentally, emotionally, and nearly spiritually.
It started on Sunday night when I was faced with a difficult decision, should I work on my paper, violating a promise that I'd made to Heavenly Father, or get up in the morning, sacrificing most sleep to finish the paper that was due on Monday morning? I decided to pray and to trust in Heavenly Father. The Doctrine and Covenants says that the saints can be ministered by angels, and as I woke up around two am to write and then had to continue through a very challenging day, I felt that I was supported by my Father in Heaven.
I felt His strength with me again as I wrote a second paper on Tuesday.
I lost my bus pass and He inspired someone to be honest and turn it in.
And then today, for the first time, I received a paper back and got an A. I could not have written without His help, and his inspiration. I am so grateful and I know that if the Lord comes first in my life, I'll never be too far behind.

Finals

I definitely feel like I've been living in a Mary and Martha Conundrum lately. I have been so busy with the roadshow, school, work, etc, that I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm learning though, that if I put Heavenly Father first, He'll take care of me and help me to get it all done.
