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!
