What do I feel like writing today?
hmmm.
I am out of "blog mode." I feel bad, I have neglected the blogging world...sorry, I actually stepped back into reality, with real people for a change...:)
with that said...I hope blogging is like riding a bike and you can pick it right back up...
My day was spent full of tasks...
working out...really hard because i know the rest of the week will be really busy.
hours working on my budget for the next 14 weeks...hoping that I can get back to IWU for the summer.
I am really proud of my budget...I am starting a whole new season of life, and I am actually saving my recites, I bought a binder from Staples to keep all of my financial records, so I am really encouraged about that.
I also emailed and made some calls about loans, and jobs next year at IWU.
Tasks all day...
I share all of those for a purpose. In all the small tasks I did today, God's presence was so evident. I really felt that my actions were an act of worship to God for all he has blessed me with. Since Saturday when I found out that I didn't get the RA Job for next year at IWU, I was confused...going back and forth wondering if IWU is the right place for me...after a lot of prayer and consideration, I have decided that I am not giving up! Just because I didn't get the job I though I would, and just because I don't see how this is all going to work out, it doesn't mean that I should give up. I have decided to continue to press on, with more determination than ever. God is with me, and I am confident that my heart is in the right place, and that I am acting in obedience, so with that said I will persevere, and if at the end of all of this I don't end up at IWU, atleast I learned a huge lesson in faith, perseverance and trust---and to me, character building and spiritual formation are gifts that hold more eternal value than most other things.
I trust in God. I trust that He has a plan. So over the next 14 weeks specifically, but hopefully these patterns will stay with me...I will embark on an exciting journey. I am going to be stretched financial, I am going to have to work hard at discipline and responsibility...but most of all, I am going to spend so much time in prayer.
Not just the small, every day prayers (even tho they are significant and important) I am going to step out on a limb and ask God for the BIG REQUESTS! I mean the things that you think are absolutely IMPOSSIBLE, I am going to pray for. I am so excited, and find myself with much anticipation. So often we doubt our Lord. We have requests that we think will never be answered, because they are so huge, and so far out; so we don't ask. Have we forgotten who our God is? Have we forgotten the many miracles he has performed? how did we come to a point in our life as christians where we doubt the ALMIGHTY POWER of our God?
well. I am not anymore! I am done doubting that God can do ANYTHING. The impossible is possible when you have Him as your Lord and Savior. So, my journey begins, and I just want to encourage all of you to take a leap of faith and step out on a limb with me. You can never be too sure of what God has up His sleeve for you, so the question is, are you faithful and trusting enough to dive in and find out??
good night. and even if I don't get to tell you all the time, I LOVE YOU from the bottom of my heart.

I really have forgoten all of the miracles God has done. I guess I'm just overwhelmed with my own struggle to get to IWU. Your faith is so inspiring to me. It is great to see somebody that trust like you do, even in the midst of difficulties. Keep it up.
Shalom
