i also just wanted to say that yesterday was the first and only time in all my school years that i have been tempted to break the sabbath and work on the brief in order to help my teammates that were sick and had procrastinated their writing.
but devan and i made a committment a long time ago that we would never do homework on the sabbath -- not when he was in school and not when i am in school. and we never have.
yesterday my faith faltered and i felt worried all saturday as i was anticipating it. how could we possibly have enough time to finish by 10 am on monday morning if i didn't do anything on sunday? so i worked all saturday and late into saturday night. i did everything i could do. then i spent sunday at church and with family. just as sunday was turning into monday i got up and started working. i worked from midnight until 4 am and then again from 5:45 am until 9:56 am, when i submitted the finished product.
and i realized again that God honors who honors Him. i kept the sabbath day and God kept me from failing.
there has never been a time when He hasn't helped us when we keep his commandments. never one single time.
God keeps his promises. for sure.
