It's 1:20am. I'm still awake. I have an 8am class tomorrow or I guess this morning. It really sucks closing at work every wednesday night.

One thing I'm learning: sleep is essential. When I don't get it, I start to lose my mind. no joke.

I don't have the energy to work out these days...all I want to do is sleep. What is my problem? It's like when I want to sleep, I can't. When I shouldn't sleep, I want to so badly I can't stand it. I just need more time to sleep.

Anyway, so I was thinking and praying to God today. I was thinking, "I really want to go to church this Sunday, but I have to work. Why did you want me to get this job, God, if I won't be able to go to church?" I also prayed, "I am not even close to being able to pay my car payment tuesday, let alone pay for gas and my tithe whenever I get to go to church next. Please let me make enough in tips to be able to pay for all of this."

So I go to work. Within an hour one of the girls asked me if I wanted to switch my morning Sunday shift with her evening Sunday shift. I was like, Whoa, God. That's legit.

Then, I got a table that had a $240 ticket and left me $100. On top of the 30+ that I already made.

Moral of the story: God hears my prayers and he does care about me, contrary to popular belief. The coolest part about this whole thing was that another girl I work with said, "I prayed before I came into work today that I would make good tips because I really need the money, and I've gotten awesome tips tonight. I may not be a great Christian, but I believe in God and I believe he hears our prayers. When I pray for money, he always answers my prayers." I was like, "Oh yeah, girl. I believe that same thing." So cool.

It is true. It's like we forget God is all-powerful and in control. We put too much pressure on ourselves. But what did Jesus say? If you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can move mountains. Move freaking mountains!

Lord, give me faith, give me faith, give me faith.
