Below is the moral of that story i told in my previous post. If you haven't read that post, read it first :].
After realizing I had no pillow and what not, I was trying to get some good out of it. So I kept my mind open to the Lord and listened to what he had to say. And that was:
The Lord was stripping me of all my things, so I would focus on Him. That entire day, I was so wrapped up in getting down there, and settled, I had yet to spend time with Him. Once I realized there was something I needed, I immediately went to the Lord. Haha! The Lord works His miracles when we are stripped of distractions, because the Lord Himself is a MIRACLE! And when we see Him, we see miracles! I suppose you could say that I "fasted good sleeping conditions". Or, I'm an incredible idiot who is bad with organization ;]. Either way, it made me focus on the Lord.
Come to find out the next day, a friend from school that was at the camp was staying with her aunt. Her aunt offered to bring me a pillow and blanket from her house, which was VERY kind. After having a crick in my neck that day, I felt as I hit the pillow Monday evening (yes, PILLOW!), the Lord provided a miracle :]. All distractions gone helped me connect tremendously, just like fasting.
So now I ask you, what distraction does the Lord want you to get rid of to focus on Him?

Ooooo....good one!
My distractions are usually the influx of people here---and I really don't want to get rid of them ; ). So, I have to be creative and catch some quick "in-between" times.
It's all good!

See what a blog roll can do?? ;) I think that I in general just stress out about eberything! And I need to stop worrying. But also, when I worry, I have to pray constantly! And I do, which helps. Keep blogging! You're doing great!
