So today begins a new chapter or new adventure in my life. I have my first class to start my masters degree. I am getting my Masters in Christian Studies from Union. I have no idea what God is going to do with me when i am done but i have two years to find out. All i know is that this is what he wants me to do and i just have to be obedient. To back up a bit, I had sent in my application and was accepted. I became discouraged when i found out each class was almost $800 and there is a new class ever 2 months. God showed me his power a few weeks ago when at friday morning mens breakfast i voiced a prayer request that I would be obedient in taking these classes and God would provide the funds. Well that afternoon my grandmother called and told me she heard i was going to school and she wanted to pay for it. It was so awesome to see God work so openly in my life. That also reasured me that this is what He wants me to do. My first class is Communicating Biblical Truth (preaching), so i am a little nervous. But I know God will give me the words to speak when the time comes.
I am so proud of all my friends following God's call and the ones out in the mission field. I find great encouragement whenever i read their blogs and see the great work God is doing in their lives. Even though i miss all of them, I wouldn't want them anywhere else than where God has them.
I have had some discouraging months lately in regards to where my life is right know but i find assurance only in God, knowing he has total control and as long as i stay focused on him, he will give me a life greater that i could ever imagined. These past few years i have seen a huge growth in my life and part of it is because of the amazing Christian friends that God has provided for me, thank you all.
Please pray that God would guide me and show me the next step in my life, and that i will stay obedient and follow him.
Shining until He returns!
