God provides.
About a month ago I was wondering whether I would have enough funds to continue college. This is when I decided. To give it ALL to Him! I would no longer worry over finances. Although with my first payment my bank account was cleared out-cobwebs of pennies included-I knew He would give my enough because it was His will that I be here.
During that first week, spent on my knees laying myself down in front of His presence, I heard this song and it was my answer.
"I will stay!"
"Who lifts the poor and heals the blind? Who trampled death for all mankind? Who stands for all with arms stretched wide? My king forever, Jesus Christ."

- A check from a generous church member
This is how awesome my God is! He not only cares for the poor and the dying but also the needs of a college student. My God is an Awesome God!
No matter what my plans are, His are always greater. I am so grateful we are not able to see the future. Because we would have too many problems as humans trying to make our own way possible. We do that enough now with our blind eyes! God's will be done. That is the best way.
Speaking with a new friend Thursday night, I shared my story and my "faithing."
I don't know where the next payment is coming from. I am not secure in my own right. Yet, I am secure knowing He's got me. And if He's got me then of course that is where I should want to be! His security means more than this world.
Faithing. It means doing. It means trusting. It means believing. It means showing and telling your story. It is not feebleness. It is not hiding. It is not fear.
Stay and wait.
Pray in confidence. Pray without ceasing. For He will provide your daily needs. Daily needs. So focus on what God is doing for you today. Don't worry about tomorrow. He's got you.
