Caution...Changes ahead!

Life has been so busy of late! It seems like I am never entirely caught up on things. I feel like I run from one thing to the next. It really is a good thing, though. I would rather be busy than bored, I think (at least as a general rule). :) Lately it seems like I run from work to homework to school to play to church and then try to catch a little sleep somewhere in the middle. Life is good, just crazy.

*laughing* I know that some would say that working for only 20 hours a week is not much. But when you also attend school, are involved with a ministry on Sunday...well, things start piling up.

There are several changes heading my way that still take my breath away when I stop and think about them. I can't quite announce them yet, but...wow! That's all I know to say. If I could have seen a year and a half ago where my life would be now...who'd a thunk it?!

I honestly believe that this season of my life has been one of the periods of greatest growth. The questions and pain that I have experienced during this time have been great. I never realized that life held so many dark times and struggles. On the other hand, I never knew that such pain and uncertainty could bring such growth and therefore such peace and joy.

Today I experienced an answer to prayer that is very large in nature. My school bill - all $1700 that was left to pay before the end of the school year - is covered. All that is left is about $28. I think I can handle that. :) There is no word for the wonder I feel except for this one...God. He knows how to care for His children. So I leave my life in His hands. There is no better place to be. He is showing me that I really can and should trust Him. I must never determine His guidance by whether I think I can afford to follow Him. I now know that if He leads me somewhere, He will provide for me there.
