OK, so I won't take complete credit for everything that will be written in this particular entry. The story about the jellyfish I heard from my youth pastor. However, my story is exactly that: mine. Enjoy :)
So I woke up Monday morning and started to school. I won a free breakfast sandwich from McDonald's Monopoly and I was so excited!!! So I get to McDonald's and the drive through line is absolutely ridiculous. So I go inside get the sandwich.. blah blah blah. Anyways, I go back out to my truck and it won't start the dumb thing is dead. So my grandad comes to the rescue and takes me to school. From there the day just gets worse and worse. In my first class I get a text from a friend saying a classmate has died. Then I realized that the battery in my phone is going dead, and I left my charger at home.
Hang on... it doesn't get better :)
I then call my mom to make sure she deposited my money into my bank account (which I couldn't do on account of being late for class) She did. Buuuuuuttttt I left my wallet at my dorm which is a 15 min walk from where I was when I needed it. To top it all off (I'm almost done) I had two mid-term exams and two major papers due this week
WHEWWW!!!!!
Yeah, its been slightly horrible. However, when I look it all over, I think God very well may have been protecting me. This sounds crazy but just listen to this:
Whitney and her husband Ben were on a trip with Whitney's father, Peter, for his 50Th Birthday when the plane they were in crashed over the Gulf of Mexico. They tied their life jackets together and hung on for dear life until they reached a lobster pen, where they would spend the next 12 hours clinging to life. Of course they were scared of sharks, but what was really getting to them were the jellyfish. For the entire 12 hours the couple spent in the Gulf of Mexico, they were being stung by Jellyfish.
Haha... makes my day seem kind of lame :)
When rescuers found the trio, they were tired, dehydrated, and stung like crazy. But they had never seen a shark. Know why???? Sharks are scared of Jellyfish.... yeah. That's right.
Sometimes we have really really bad days, but when things are just really getting to you, just think, they may be God's way of protecting you from something wayyyy bigger. My Monday was horrible. But I know now that God was watching out for me. Had all those things not gone wrong, I may have found myself getting into bigger trouble.
So I remember this verse: Psalm 9:2-3

Surely he shall deliver thee.

Here's a good video I found on YouTube about religion, you might like to view it and see what you think.
”God in my life”
I think it makes a lot of good common sense don't you?
