So, a little update. God is teaching me (continually) that everyday is an adventure. At any moment, He can allow anything to happen that will affect how I perceive life to unfold.
So, here's the deal. A really wonderful opportunity landed before me. I got so super excited. I know that it is from the Lord. A full-ride scholarship for all 4 years of medical school! Wow! An answer to my prayers, to my family's prayers! So, I called the admissions office to accept the scholarship, and I was told that I was basically put on a list. The scholarship was offered on a first come first serve basis. Whichever order I responded would determine if I would get the scholarship.
I was a little bit surprised to be honest. Perhaps even disappointed. But I thank God for His comforting Spirit for He almost immediately soothed my worried mind with the promise that God has plans to bless me as His Child, rather than harm me. (Jeremiah 29:11) I don't deserve anything from Him. I don't deserve the breath I breathe every second of every day. Sometimes it is so hard for me to accept that God my Creator, Christ my Savior, would want to bless me. But I remember also, that God is indeed my Father. I can trust Him! What a wonderful truth!
And so, in this situation, I have perfect peace, which has been given only by the Lord. I know that the Lord sees more than I can. So, I am not asking why this is happening, why did I have to be put on a waiting list to receive a scholarship that I had already been so excited about...instead I praise the Lord for His free scholarship of life...of salvation!!! Thank you, Lord Jesus! Please use all these things for Your Glory! So that others can come to know You and see Your greatness!
