Best Christmas present from God

I am in awe of what God is doing in my life. I am seeing blessing after blessing just being poured out on me. I have had many desires and wants in my heart and mind for awhile and I am seeing many come to fruition. God's timing is amazing. I am learning that I like to wait for His timing because I love to see how He just works everything out.

For some time now I have been praying for a car. I had no idea how it would happen but I knew that God could work it out. I just stayed faithful in praying and believing that it would happen.Well about a month ago my mom said something about wanting to buy a car for me and we started looking. It seemed like there wasn't anything out there that was just really catching out attention. So I decided I would continue to be patient and that God would bring the perfect car along for in His perfect timing. Last week I was mentioning to a friend here at school that my mom and I were looking for a car to buy, and she answered with the statement, "Well, I am looking to sell my car so I can buy this other one I want and I am only asking what it will take me to buy the other one." I asked how much that would be and she replied with a thousand dollars. That is the amount my mom was wanting to buy me a car for, but everything we looked at for that much was not worth it. Well my friend has a 1995 Honda Civic and is in really good condition for a 95 car. I told my mom about it and she was completely on board with buying it. We are now in the final details. She has to make sure she can still buy the other car she wants and we have to do some title work but that is it. I am so excited to see how God has just laid this opportunity in my lap.

The next thing that goes with the last story is that for a long time I have had the desire to go to Israel and felt God leading me to go. Dr. Kendrick, the Dean of my college leads trips there once a year. His next trip is in March of 2013 and I want to go. I know that I will be able to go because God is going to open the doors. He is providing me with a car so I can get a job and save for it. The cost is doable in the next year. I am going to start getting in shape for this and I am going to just live life as if I know I am going and being proactive about it. I can't wait to see what other surprises God has for me in this journey of obedience and love to Him. Stay tuned for the amazing shower of blessing from our Heavenly Father!

Long time many thoughts!

WOW.... So much has happened in my life over the last semester of college (4 months). I have learned a lot about others and about myself. I have realized that where God has brought me at this point is just amazing. I am so excited for what He is doing in my life. I am learning that obedience might be hard sometimes but the reward for it is amazing. God is so awesome. He is the best parent you could have. He loves to reward us and bless us with things when we decide to listen and follow what He wants for us. It is not easy for me to submit and follow what He is calling me to in this season of my life. I desire to have someone else in my life to share things with and to start a family but I now know that God has asked me to just be patient and enjoy the time I have to do what He has in store for me. I see what is right in front of me I don't see what is beyond the trial and the difficulties most of the time. So I am trusting that while I walk this journey I see set in front of me that the end result is going to be something more amazing than I could ever imagine. I get so excited thinking that God is going to bless me with a husband that is everything I need for ministry and life and anything else that comes my way. He is going to have the same ministry goals that I do and it is just going to mesh well. :D It is so hard though in the times when I feel lonely and want someone to just cuddle and have close to me. I miss the relationship with another person. But God is teaching me to have that with Him. I am learning and it is getting easier and I know it will just get easier as it goes. I pray that God will sustain me in those hard times and the dark places that I know I am going to run into along this journey. I pray I can hold on to His hand and rely on Him and not go searching in places that I won't find what I am looking for in. Thank you Jesus for being my all in all and more than I could ever imagine.
