Hello friends!
Thank you so much for your prayers for me these past few days and weeks. As I worked to complete my seminary course by the deadline, I sometimes wondered how I could ever get it all done in time.
While time did not allow me to make my final assignment submissions as “perfect” as I would like, they were nonetheless complete. In the days leading up to the deadline, I was especially struck by how fast I was progressing through the material. I am convinced that it was prayer that made the difference. Thank you.
Also, I am very grateful for two friends who have surprised me with checks towards school expenses. On top of that, I just received word that I was unexpectedly given a $500 scholarship from the seminary! Spring semester is not yet fully funded, and I am very grateful to have this help and these tangible expressions of camaraderie. Thank you! At the same time, one of my friends commented, “Sometimes when you get unexpected funds, it’s because God knows you will needed them, even before you do!” This happened to me last school year, when I thought I had some surplus to save, but ended up needing it all because of an error in my budget calculations.
Whichever the case, I praise God for His provision!
While my summer grades are pretty much set, I plan to round-out an essay from one of my courses so that I can further hone-in my abilities and demonstrate to my professors my mastery of the material. Please pray for me, that God would grant me insight and that I would be able to grow through the exercise.
Thank you for your partnership! Please don’t hesitate to let me know how things are going with you too, and how I can pray for you. I would love to hear from you!
God bless,
Alex
