~The Lord keeps blessing me~

~The Lord keeps blessing me,
right now, oh-o right now. I know
the Lord keeps blessing me,
right now, oh-o right now.
He woke me up this morning,
and he started me on my way-a-a-a. I know
the Lord keeps blessing me, right now.~
Hello all
I've been so blessed by God in the past few days. I especially felt a joyful song in my heart today because I look back and see how God has blessed me over and over and over again.
In the past I used to say to myself "Okay, today is going really good so I guess tomorrow will be awful." I still have a bad habit of thinking this way sometimes. But when I noticed how God has moved in my life day by day, doing things that I never would have expected, that mindset of good day today = bad day tomorrow has begun to subside. I'm learning that it is possible to have two or more good days in a row.
Ok, so everything hasn't been exactly 100% perfect. I still struggle with procrastination when it comes to school work; most nights I have to suffer from the thought of walking into class unprepared. However, I also feel more confident in asking God to work things out in some way. (His works can be in the form of anything from cancelled classes to teachers forgetting and projects being pushed back).
Sometimes I do have to suffer the consequences of having incomplete work, which is usually that terrible feeling of being a fat, lazy, overachiever who doesn't know how to manage time. But at the same time I have experiences that let me know that God does care about the little things.
Oh yeah, remember this?:

Well, last week I found out that the Art Department awarded me an outside scholarship (glad I wrote that letter after all!) It's been so long ago since I wrote that letter I had nearly forgotten about it. So you can imagine how surprised I was to hear the good news. The amount of the scholarship was only for $250...for the entire semester...BUT HEY! I'm still grateful.
Oh, and the thing about the roommate: it's getting A LOT better. I've been praying for her, especially for her to receive salvation (if she hasn't already done so). I don't talk to her on a day-to-day basis but I no longer feel angry towards her whenever I see her. When she says hello I say hello back without thinking in my mind "don't talk to me." I'm glad for that transition, because that let's me know that love for those who don't love us is very possible.
*looks back at post* Whoa. Okay, time to wrap this up; I didn't intend to write a book
Long story short (if it's not too late): God has really showed up and showed out in my life these last few days. And I'm thankful for it!

). But one of the other things that I wanted to mention is about my dad's last visit to the doctor: if I heard my mom right, I think they finally found out what was causing Dad's illness. And when you know what the problem is, you can work to fix it! 
but it's cool because I think I did pretty good on that too 
) but guess what? It was cancelled!
