no. joke.
I'm almost to embarrassed to share this, but God is proving His faithfulness in my life and it's so overwhelming that I want to write it down and never let myself forget! I have been freaking out about my life (note 2 posts ago): devastated that I won't be able to see the children I love in Ukraine next month, confused and scared because I hadn't raised enough money for the trip and there is no way I could pay for it, doubting God's blessing in giving me the opportunity to go, tangled in problems with the scarves I'm making/selling for Ukraine, stressed to the max about my college classes, directionless in my future....
Sunday night, I was ready to explode with the weight of it all. I wanted to scream at God "why aren't You coming through for me!?"
Well....
Monday morning I find out the issues with the scarves are completely resolved and I didn't have to lift a finger.
Monday afternoon I'm given an extension on the due date for the money for the trip.
Tuesday morning I'm told it is possible to have the Vovka kids leave their orphanage and visit us in Kyiv and, if they come, we'll throw a Christmas party for them!
Also Tuesday morning, I find out there are long term mission positions with Hope for Orphans I could get involved in.
Tuesday mid-morning one of my professors gives the class an extension on the due date for our final paper (this has never happened to me in my 5 years at Rollins!)
Tuesday afternoon my poetry prof. encourages me to pursue a MFA degree in creative writing.
Tuesday night I get a call from a friend who found out I need funds for my trip and wants to help me out.
I mean, how insane is this!! God did all this for me even when I didn't have the faith to hope for it. He is too good to me. I don't deserve Him one iota and yet He delights in flooding me with His blessing!
Hallelujah!

Praise God!
I didn't believe that God could provide for my roommate Cory who went to Australia for YWAM because Cory didn't "work hard enough or it". Being $4500 short with the deadline less than two weeks away God dropped all that money in his lap.
I found out it had nothing to do with whether or not Cory put in his part of the effort. If God has called you, or anybody else, to something he will make it happen! God always provides! God is always good.
I'm glad to see this in your life! God is faithful!
Oh my gosh Abi!! I am completely undone by your story of God's faithfulness!! I am praying this opportunity pans out for you and God continues to remind you He has a calling and a plan for your life.
