Jehovah Jireh
Our God is good. And He is always the same, forever and ever. he’s been faithful before and He will be faithful again.
I’ve been filling out a lot of college paperwork lately, or rather, putting off filling out certain paperwork. ie: financial paperwork.
The thought of having to mark the box that says I cannot, in fact pay for school on my own freaks me out. I grew up in a wealthy family; I was always comfortable and we never had to worry about money. It was simply a non-issue, and my family was very blessed to say the least.
A little over a year ago my parents got divorced. My father was not a good man—he had been pretty abusive my whole life, emotionally, mentally, and borderline sexually. Long story short, I naturally chose to live with my mother because of that. My father went on to squander all of the money in my college fund on various worldly possessions. He was greedy and left my mom with nothing. My mom has cancer and is unable to work due to being sick all the time, and we would have ended up living in the projects if my grandparents hadn’t been able to help us out.
I’m not going for pity here. I don’t want anyone to read this and feel bad for me. Read this and be in awe of how awesome our God is!
I might have no money for college, but the Lord has a call on my life.
“He never gives a mission without a provision.”
I have absolutely no idea how He’s going to provide for me.
Not gonna lie, that scares me a lot.
But at the same time, I have a peace that passes all understanding because I know He will provide. It may not be in the way I think or expect, but He is faithful.
I can’t wait to see how He’s going to work everything out.
All I know is,
1) I’m called to be a missionary in Peru, and
2) God wants me at Bethany College of Missions in the Fall.
I’m scared right now, but I’m learning to trust the Lord and step out in faith.
This is going to make such an amazing testimony!
