The Lord is ALWAYS faithful!!!!

The Lord has been teaching me so much latley. I have been thinking and praying a lot about my future lately. I have been praying about a few things and I am not even sure if that is where the Lord would have for me. I do know that I can trust Him and He will direct me!!!

I was thinking yesterday and had a nice talk with Mrs. Steel (today) about when I first came here . I can look back and see how the Lord has worked in my heart and taught me so much! I have learned so much about trust.

Every year my that I have been here (except this one) I have worked.So,the Lord had provided jobs for me and taken care of all of my bills. Everytime the Lord has been faithful. I look back and see how many times I worried and how their was no reason to. Through a series of events that happend this summer the Lord has taught me that He is ALL that I need. I have known that, but it wasn't untill I didn't have anyone left that it finally made sense. The Lord really is ALL that I need. He promises to never leave me:

Hebrews 13:5 says "...I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Psalm 27:10 says, "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will tak me up." These verses have been such a huge encouragement to me. I am so thankful for the body of Christ....my family is so large!!!!

It came time for me to come to school again. I was able to work only a very short time this summer. So, I was not sure how I would pay for school. I decided that I would come to school a few weeks early and try to see if I could get a job. I had one job and they decided they were going to close for the winter so that job fell through. I applied to lots of places, I was hired at one but it didn't work and I was wondering what was going to happen. The Lord was trying to teach me to just TRUST Him. I don't need to worry:

Matthew 6:34 says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself..." I do not need to worry about what is going to happen. Well, Mr. LeBar asked me if I would be interested in doing breakfast everymorning for a scholarship. What an answer to prayer...no reason to worry. It was a full schoalrship butI did have to pay some but it was not a lot. Well, I knew that this was where the Lord wanted me and if this was where He wanted me than he would provide for me. Well, I got the scholarship again for this semester and this time it covered everything!!! Wow..the Lord is so good.

I am so glad that the Lord has allowed me to go through all of these hard times. If my life was easy and I did not have any problems than I would not even need Him. We pray that the Lord would conform us to the image of His Son. In order for Him to do that, He has to chip away all of the self and all of the things that do not reflect Him. It has not been easy but the Lord is still GOOD!!! If I am walking in accordance to His word than He will give me the strength that I need.

This semester started just a little over a week ago. I have 4 classes this semester. I am taking: Ephesians, Hermenutics, Revelation and Cults. I am looking forward to this semester, and a little sad because it is my last one!!!
