Coincidence?...I Think Not!

Last night was another late night. I finally made it to bed at 3 am, only to be woken up by my alarm clock just a mere 3 hours later at 6am and once more at 6:30am. After trying to avoid the inevitable, I finally forced myself out of bed at 7:15am to face what I expected to be another very busy and tiring day followed by yet another late night. To my surprise this was not the case. After rushing to get ready, I leave my apartment at approximately 7:40am to discover that my car was no longer a car but an ice crystal. It was completely covered in a fairly thick sheet of ice. I called my supervisor telling her I would be late to my internship, and I would be there as soon as I could be there. I was pretty sure my classes were canceled for the day, but still wanted confirmation. My twin sissy was nice enough to look up the school closings and inform me that classes have in fact been canceled. *insert some happiness here* After pouring hot water on my car and chipping away at the ice for about a half hour only to reveal two small portions the size of my head, one on the windshield and the other on the driver side window, I called my supervisor once more to tell her I was not coming in today. De-icing my car was clearly going to be an all morning task. I became quite excited at the thought of having the whole day ahead of me to be productive, catch up on schoolwork and all that jazz, and possibly even make it to bed before midnight.

I have had many late nights this semester trying to keep up to speed in all my classes causing me to become exhausted (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually).
So is it a coincidence that today is a snowday? I think not!
Quite frankly, I think God saw that I was tired, in need of a break and a day to catch up with life. And so he provided such a day for me to do just that.

Thank you, God!
