one of those God things

here's a crazy little story about how God has been working in my life and providing for me in these last couple of days..
It actually all started when I was making plans to go to a friends' going away party. At Starbucks we have to write it into the calendar 2-3 weeks ahead of time when we’re unavailable on any given day.
So I forgot to do that on the day of the party. Last week I got my schedule for this week and saw that I was working on Saturday morning and Sunday night. That was just perfect for my plans on the weekend since I was also going to play drums on Sunday morning. Now for some reason I thought that Sunday was the 16th and the party was on Sunday and so I found someone to cover my shift on Sunday afternoon.
Then another girl at our store also needed someone to cover her shift on Saturday afternoon and since I had no plans (I thought) we switched our shifts so she could work that morning and I could work in the afternoon.
Great. So I get home after work. And go to my computer to make the changes in my calendar and realized that I got everything backwards and that it all would have worked out fine, hadn’t I just made a complete mess of it all! So I prayed that God would help me get back out of that mess (turning to prayer as a first resort for a change.. as I had just learned at church :-) )
Now, the girl who switched shifts with me couldn’t switch back because she already had plans. So I found someone else to switch with and now I’m working Saturday morning as planned.
Now what’s really cool is that I was scheduled to play drums at church on Sunday morning and rehearsal is Thursday night. But I got an email from our worship leader asking if I could play on Sunday night instead (then rehearsal is on Sunday afternoon before the service). And as you can recall I have someone covering my shift Sunday night. That just worked out perfectly!
But now I’m low on working hours (I need to work 20 or more hours a week to get benefits) so I called and asked other Starbucks’ in the area if they needed any shifts covered this week. I just got one on Thursday night that would bump my hours back over the 20 hours I need.. and since I’m playing drums Sunday night instead of morning I don’t have a rehearsal on Thursday night which means I can work that shift.
So God made 3 things work out perfectly at the same time!
And here's my short word of encouragement (before I shut up) to all of you who are wondering what God's doing in your life:
God is saying "I know what I'm doing, I know in which direction we're heading and I know which exit to take. Trust me!"

Y'all have a great rest of the week!
See ya on Sunday (or was it Saturday?)
Daniel
