Father has really been telling me to trust in Him completely, and it has been a little hard lately. I just transferred to UMHB, a private school... which means more money on top of my Japan payments. I have had a few trials, but He never leaves me on my own regardless of how much I try to take it on my own without Him. I finally realized that I was saying that I was trusting in Him, but in reality, I was just giving Him some of it.
Today was a pretty challenging day. I got a call from my mom, reminding me to get a few more addresses for support letters because the 2nd deadline is coming up, and we would not be able to pay that ourselves. I then tried to think of all of the things that I could do, but that got me nowhere. I texted my friend Amanda before class and asked her to pray for me. Right after I did that, Steven (my youth minister back at home) called me and left me a voicemail telling me to call him. After class I got the message, and called him back to hear that someone gave me a really really generous amount of money for Japan. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't help but cry. Father is so good!! Just when I think that things are too much, He intervenes in unbelievable ways!
I look at situations like this, and I wonder why I am so blown away in the first place. He is almighty and faithful every second of the day. There is never a moment when He just feels like He isn't going to be there for us, so why am I so amazed that He would provide like this? Praise Him! His works are so beautiful!
Thank you guys so much for being a part of this. I know I have said this before, but this truly means so much to me! I can't wait to see how He molds and strengthens my heart and the hearts of my fellow JSI's. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me!
With love,
