I am thankful for schedule changes. While I may not be able to appreciate it at the time it happens, I am generally reminded later that there was a good reason for the delay. Sometimes it is really frustrating to wait, but if I am aware, I will see how that change more perfectly fits God's plan.
For example, I had an important meeting, and it got delayed by 2 days. I was not a happy camper. I wanted to get the issues addressed and was not excited to wait. But the day after the meeting was originally scheduled, I ended up attending a workshop that gave me some excellent tips to use in my (now) upcoming meeting. When the speaker was being introduced, I realized the topic on which he was to present, and I just had to smile. How like God to give me an 'extra' two days so that I could a) work on my patience and b) gain some very helpful skills for this meeting.
Prayer: God, thank You for the little surprises and unexpected pieces in my day. Help me to see them as gifts and opportunities rather than frustrations and challenges. May I never fail to call on You for help in navigating life.
