I was tested yesterday, and I think I passed. Praise the Lord.

God has been dealing with me. He is teaching me trust, patience, and perseverance. I have been waiting for some time for my finances and direction to all come together. I feel almost overwhelmed with the forms and applications I have been adressing. I have been waiting through long MONTHS of uncetainty. I have have been through trials that have hurt, and places I never wanted to go- but in obedience stepped into. The travel time, and money, and heartache it has taken to accomplish the steps assigned to me, should have withered my resolve.

I received a letter yesterday stating I have been turned down for student loans due to arrears- arrears I had already spent time, energy, and money to have dealt with- a month ago. It should have worked out for me this week. I should have seen God's will come to pass. This is why I believe it was a test. All this effort only to be sent back two steps. The question was; do I really trust in my Father.

When I opened the letter- I did not let my heart falter, (well, maybe for only a moment of frusteration) But then I immediately set myself into action to resolve the misunderstanding. I spent the day waiting for answers. I could have spent the day feeling worried and downtrodden. Instead I set my mind to trust in the Lord. There are anwsers I still wait on before I can surg forward in my studies. There are things I still don't know the answer to. Big things that effect my family's livelyhood. But my God is good, yesterday today and tomorrow. My God is the provider of manna in the desert. He is the one I have given my will to.

Just watch- Praise report to come very soon. I trust you oh Lord, build your will in my life. Have your way with me. Amen, precious Father.
