Money

I just received enough money to pay for my school year, seemingly out of thin air. My college fund came through with some money, and the other bit came from a government cheque. The government matched a percentage of my college fund and I am not entirely sure why. I was not expecting to receive money this easily, so it feels strange to be provided for. I know God is telling me something by this.

"Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." -Matthew 6:33

I've been learning what it means to be faithful to God's will. The only obstacle in his way is my own will. The decision of coming to Bible College has been a part of that lesson. I was looking for life in adventures that excluded God. It's silly to look back on this, because the only life to be found is in God. I could go on about this lesson I'm learning. We look for life in so many empty places. But God will provide everything you desire, adventure, travel, relationships, if you focus on him first. When I stopped clinging to a worry for money, he gave me plenty. Now I wonder what else he'll ask me to do, and I wonder if I'll be ready to do it.

For now I'm celebrating this news by doing some laundry for the first time in a month.
