TT- The Missing Textbook

As some of you might now, I'm not the most... motivated student. This last semester I had one class that I thought was going to be awesome, but it ended up being kind of lame: Speech and Communication. Right off the bat, it sounds like my kind of class! Sadly, classes lose their appeal when the teacher is a brat and the curriculum is just a watered down, boring version of your high school debate classes... So, when I lost my textbook, I might have maybe kinda sorta used it as an excuse to stop going as much... Obviously, my grade started to show that. Finally, I got my act together and started going again, but I still didn't know where that textbook went. I had searched my car, every inch of my apartment, under the couches, under the bed, in my backpack, and even my parents' house. Eventually I just gave up because I was still able to follow along in class and I usually didn't do the assignments out of the book anyway. Then, finals time came around... I was a little worried, but I figured it would be more of a common sense test that I could fidget my way through because I'm good at that. It would have been nice to have the textbook because it was an online, open book test, but I would find a way to manage.
That night I settled down on the couch and opened up the test, and to my dismay, almost every single question went along the lines of, "come up with an example of such and such, based on the information on page 254-56." Oh crap!!!!! The test was created around the freakin textbook that I hadn't seen in over a month! I knew I needed to do well on this test in order to pass the class. I ran into my room, crying; what was I going to do? Then the most brilliant thought came to me; so I knelt down next to my bed and said a little prayer, apologizing for my slothfulness, and asking for help to somehow not fail this test. After I finished, I laid on my floor and cried a little more. I turned my head to the side and just about lost it; there, pushed up against the wall on the far end of my bed, was the textbook! Apparently, it had fallen off my bed and gotten stuck down there, but because it was all the way back and against the wall, I had been able to see it when I had checked under my bed before. I was able to take the test and ace it, earning myself a 'B' in the class.

This is yet another example of just how much our Heavenly Father loves us. If we are willing to ask for his help, He will always answer, and there is nothing He can't do. I have such a strong testimony of the power of prayer and the huge role that God plays in our lives every day. I encourage everyone who reads this post to spend some time actively looking for large and small things that the Lord does for you every day; whether it's something big like having enough money for rent when you know you shouldn't have, or something small like green lights all the way to work when you're running late. God is there, He loves us, He cares about us, and He'll always be there for us. I say these things, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
