Unexpected Places

Have you ever had one of those days where you didn't know why you felt the way that you did? Nothing to pin point. You just felt blah. But when you really got down to it, you realized what was making the day so bad. Once you realized that, all you wanted to do was talk about it? That happened to me today.

I was able to sleep in so that was a blessing in and of itself. Nothing went wrong and nobody said or did anything to upset me. Towards the end of the day I began getting very irritable and cranky. Part of the problem was that I was hungry. Even after I was full, I could not shake this feeling. I had to meet with one of my classmates to go over statistic homework which I was not looking forward to simply because I hadn't done it yet.

We actually ended up not even talking about our statistics homework for the first hour we met. We had a deep meaningful conversation instead. When I found out I had to take a statistics course my initial thought was 'Why?' All I can say is that God has reasons for things. He provides for us in ways that we sometimes don't understand and we don't see.

When my classmate came in and we started talking, I needed that. As time ticked on though, I was worried and concerned about getting the homework done. I soon realized though that not only did she need to talk but I also needed to talk as well. This was God's way of providing an outlet for me. I didn't ask him to and I wasn't going to. He just showed up unexpectedly.

If I had not taken this statistic's class, I would not have had this opportunity. In the midst of our human nature of questioning 'Why' he has a rhyme and reason behind everything. The reason for being in this class I believe could just simply be to have this much needed conversation with a classmate. The thing is though: my eyes had to be open to the unexpected as well as my heart.
