Do You Suppose God knows?

Just sitting here thinking....looking back over the last few weeks actually...and considering all that is going on in my life. I have been so busy these last two weeks. I mean really busy-to the point I am studying at stop lights for my final this week. There is NO time at home and the only way to get it all done is serious maximizing of my time AND delegation.

That is the part I am wondering about. Did God know I would be here and would have to make these choices? Did He allow it to bring about a greater purpose? Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with me...after all...It isn't all about me...[smile].

My daughter has had to go grocery shopping for me, because she is 1) already down the road from the grocery store every day while she is at class 2) only working a few hours a day and last but not least-I absolutely can not squeeze another thing in my day. As of this very minute, I have to write a paper, get ready for a final, register for next term classes, get housework done, rebuild a house, work on wedding stuff, and get prison ministry stuff ready to go...before Thursday (yep, it is Tuesday night). Sleep???? Hmm...no, not much of that going on.

So...my daughter has been getting the groceries. She kept calling me today to ask me questions. "Sausage is on sale, 2 for $3.00. Is that a good price?" "They don't have Mexican diced tomatoes." She pretty much knows what I buy and what I am willing to spend on particular items, but seeing the price of items ("I can't believe how expensive cereal is!!) and having to make the decisions (she chose the $1.99 a box Cookie Crisp)...couldn't have designed a better lesson if I thought and thought and thought. It just worked out that way, meaning, I needed her to fill in. I bet though, God knew all along what we both needed. I have needed her help, and she needed to learn how to grocery shop.
