God is
good.
say that GOD IS SO GOOD? Well He is. He has blown my mind in the recent weeks.
When I got accepted about a month ago everything started at a snails pace… I wanted to get my
money right then and just chill on it the rest of the semester and prepare. God
had different plans for sure. I sent out my letters and had little response. Who
am I to think just because I didn’t get 150 responses within a week that the
Lord isn’t working? Ha. SO being human I began to worry. I began to wonder if
this is truly what the Lord has for me at this point in my life. Soon I realized
that I am nothing in this process. Everything.. everrrryyythinggg in the
universe is HIS. I surrendered to Him. As soon as I surrendered, I had a peace
that I did not think was even possible. Funds have been coming in. He is sovereign.
I have been SO blessed by those around me. People come out of nowhere telling
me how the Lord moved in them and wanted to support me. I have been blown away… to God be all the
glory.
David is
a baller. He is 18 years old, just graduated this past May from Kingwood High and
is currently attending our local community college. I have always looked up to
him (no pun intended… he really is about a foot taller than me though).
Throughout High School I remember seeing him absolutely weep and cry out to the
Lord for his friends souls. 
Wait what? Yeah baller. David is absolutely
dedicated to no matter what he puts his mind to. He decided he wanted to play
the guitar-two weeks later he was in the worship band. Banjo? Got it. Piano? Duh. Drums? Annoying but YES. He is
definition of dedicated. I love him with every ounce of my being.
I am saying all of this because of how I see
the Lord working in him more than ever in the past few weeks. Last week I was
chillin in my room and David comes in a plops down on my bed- semi normal but he had tears in his eyes this
time. Caught off guard but still being sisterly I gave a simply ” you ok??” David
looked me dead in the eye and says, “God has laid something on my heart and I cannot
shake it.” A couple things went through my mind but I had no idea what it could
be. He proceeds to say “I don’t want you to talk to anyone about this… but I
put some money in your world race account.” (just dropped that ball..but I needed
to share) Me being me I say the first thing that comes to my mind “what do you
mean? How much?”… “1,000 and that is just a portion of what has been laid on my
heart. When I look at my bank account I do not see it as my money. Until you
leave, whatever I make is going into your trip-being the hands and feet of
Jesus.” Excuse me? My mind was blown. That was almost his entire savings account. I started
sobbing naturally. It was absolutely incredible to see the Lord in His eyes. He
clarified that if he could suppress this feeling he would. He would LOVE to
push it away.. but “it was taking control of his thoughts in an amazing way.”
18 I would not have known if the Lord was speaking to me if he showed up in
front of me. David is a man after the Lords own heart and he is spurring me
along without even knowing how much of a huge impact he has had. Because of him
I am encouraged to pursue the sound of the voice of the Lord with every ounce
of my being. He is SO humble. He is definition of someone who has understood that EVERYTHING is the
Lords. What an example.
