a welcome reprieve

looking at my progress in writing my strategic management paper, it sure is obvious that i am a bit behind. meeting a 6pm deadline at rcbc tomorrow night sure is going to be a challenge. i was already expecting a really long night tonight, at least to get through the the next chapter on functional strategies. its a stretch but if i won't be able to finish that, then i'm going to have to cram the implementation plan and the financial projections tomorrow. the implementation plan probably would be easier, the financials sure will take some more time.

i got a text from prof E around 3PM asking me to call him. i dutifully pressed "call sender" to see if there were any additional instructions. Lo and behold, he was moving the submission to saturday noon because he is going to have a make-up class tomorrow night at taft because the weather canceled his class tonight. It was hard to hide how happy i was hearing this welcome news. That gives me at least two more nights to work this thing out. Probably slaving on it the whole day tomorrow at least will help me put this paper in better shape. God must have heard a lot of my classmates cry for help that he saw fit to hand us a reprieve. God is really good. Thank you Lord for this welcome reprieve. Hopefully, we won't squander this gift you are giving us.

And that's what having faith is all about.
