Firstly, there has been so much that has happened since I last wrote. So I will start with the most miraculous thing; It was down to the wire…August 11th(The due date for my Anthem down payment) I knew it was going to be last minute but I didn’t know that the funds would come two days later. I keep saying, “Try and convince me that God is not a miraculous God.” He came through in such an incredible way!
The morning of that fateful day, my grandmother and another church friend watching the same TV program at different places received a word of knowledge for me that the preacher was speaking. He prophesied that there was someone out there looking for tuition for ministry school and not to worry because God is sending it now, when God gives gifts He gives more than enough. When I was told that, there was little hope in me. I was soooo depressed because I thought God forgot about me and/or that I heard Him wrong.
It was a long two days filled with those emotions. The 13th rolled around like molasses, and with it brought a miracle. My school counselor called me with incredible news…$1000 was found for me, exactly what I needed in order to go to Anthem. I got off the phone, screamed, cried, praised the Lord, and told my parents. So, I knew His timing was perfect…but that was just showing off…lol:p
The next Saturday at church, people were literally coming up to me and handing me money and gifts towards college. I just kept saying, “More Lord!?” He is so willing, there is a verse in the bible that rocks my core when it comes to His heart; “Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?”-Matt 6:26
He is so beautiful the way He works, He makes all things come together for our good.
So here I am about to get settled in, and oh how scary this is! I didn’t expect it to be this hard parting with my friends and family. Let’s just say I am extremely outside my comfort zone. That’s the reason I know I’m doing what God wants me to do. Haha!
He keeps reassuring me that the all heartache will subside and He is going to replace it with intimate moments with Him. This is my year to stretch and bend to voice of God; I will be so drenched in and familiar to His presence. I am so excited to go on this journey with Him! He has incredible things in store and I can’t wait to discover them along side Him.
