Aha moment

You know that moment where you finally come to a realization and wonder what took you so long to see it?  I had that today.
I had big plans for today.  I was going to study.  After dropping my kids off at school, I was going to put a movie in for Sweet Pea and study for 2 hours.  That was my plan.  Well, that was plan B.  Plan A didn't work out. 
If you know me, you know I like to procrastinate.  So sitting down to study is really hard which is why I had a plan.  Then I decided to deviate from it.  Plan C: I was just going to run to Safeway, do some couponing stuff and come home and study.  I really should have stuck with Plan B.  I thought I did pretty well at Safeway.  I was stocking up on tp (.23c per roll which is better than Costco), 3 boxes of tampax for just over $3,(... and man I just realized I forgot to give my yogurt coupons, such a bummer!), plus they were still doing a frozen food thing spend $25 get $10 cat and I had a $10 cat to spend.  I planned it all perfectly.
I came home thinking I did pretty well until I noticed theFoodDay on my driveway.  It never comes on tuesday morning.  If I had known it was coming tuesday morning I would have come home.  What was in there?  A $10 off if you spend$50 coupon.  I could have saved $10!!  That really eats away at me.  Especially when I am trying so hard to save money on the one thing I can save money on, my groceries.
It really has bothered me all day.  Until about an hour ago and I realized something.  Had I followed through on my plan.  Had I been obedient to God.  Because He got me into this class, He wants me to pass, and I really need to study.  I cannot stress that enough.  Had I listened to Him and came home to study for 2 hours, I would have had that coupon arrive and been able to use it before picking Princess up from school.
What I realized in my Aha moment is that I really honestly and truly need to give everything to God.  Everything.  Did you catch that?  Because I obviously need reminding constantly.  Even the things I feel I can have control of like couponing.  That is what I am talking about.  It is easy for me to give my studying to Him b/c I sort of already feel out of control with it.  But couponing is something I have been trying to do by myself.  I have been trying to be good stewards of the money God has given us but haven't been relying on Him with how to really do that. 
So I am going to try really hard to stop obsessing about couponing and give it to Him.  It seems like such a trivial thing to waste His time on but I know that is what He is there for.
