My prayer plans were a bit roughed up today, as the time I had scheduled and put aside for prayer I ended up having to deal with room-mate issues. Don’t get me wrong I had to prayer the entire time to figure out what to do, but God, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to read my bible during this hour, gave me an awesome verse last night. I’ll share that later. 

When I got back and ready to pray today I found a bit of a nasty note sitting on the counter, with a counter-point note sitting on top of that in the kitchen of my stevens-court apartment. One girl wanted everyone to do the dishes more, and the other girl wanted the original complainer to take out the garbage like she was supposed to…and there I was stuck in the middle reading the note and asking God what I should do, and then reminding him I was scheduled to pray in 5 minutes. (Those 5 minutes had been scheduled to get some lunch). I felt like tackeling the few dishes in the sink and after that I asked God if I could do the few on the counter, since it was cutting into prayer time. At that moment I was struck with the ridiculousness of asking God if it was ok to serve my room-mates. Then I felt like I should take out the garbage, all of the while praying for the girls I live with. Anyhow when this ordeal was over, I felt ashamed to realize that I don’t dedicate every hour to God, I barely even know what dedicating an hour to God looks like, even during a sermon or worship I’m always focused on God speaking to ME or what I will get out of it. 

The rest of the day is devoted to God, even going to the Asain Art Museum with a friend from my apartment because she is stressed out, God thank you for using me to help her feel better. I love you Lord! 

And as for the special verse: 

Luke 13: 13-14

“But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they can not repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Blessing to all who are praying for/planning/donating time/supplies to the banquet!
