Dec. 2nd

This was a busy day for me and I almost forgot to post.  Honestly, if I can't even do 2 days in a row then I am in trouble:-)
I was going to write about my kids (again) but something happened today so will write about the other thing later.  It wasn't anything big, it wasn't even something I officially prayed for.  But it happened.  Like it happens a lot, the small, quiet things.  God took care of me.  So simple really.  But He does it a lot and I think I don't give Him the credit as much as I should. 
I am taking a year long class to get Certified in Manual Therapy which probably doesn't mean much to you but it is a big deal for me.  It is one weekend a month for 10 months.  Yes, 10 months.  One entire weekend.  8-5 on saturday and 8-3 on sunday.  Okay, so no big deal right?  Except that I work, have three kids and along with that comes an abundance of jobs.  One weekend a month is a big chunk of my precious time.  But God opened the door for me to take this class and I know He wants me there.  Did I mention I have to study?  Yes, study because we have quizzes.  So that big chunk of time the class takes is added on to by the studying.  Which I don't really have the energy for and don't make a priority (until the big test in April). 
    I know you are wondering my point here.  I am really tired, sorry.  My point is that on my 10 hour work day, I was scheduled for 12 patients.  How many actually showed?  5.  Times that by approximately 45 minutes and you get less than 4 hours.  What did that leave?  About 5 hours of studying time (I took a break for lunch and a trip to the store).  5 hours of unexpected, have nothing better to do, getting paid for...study time.  What a gift!  God is so good!
