| Just a few of the lovely ladies that came to a wine & cheese part to hear about my internship! |
Update! (my latest email update!)
My plan:
Get all of the financial support I need to move by August 14th.
Move to Rock Hill August 15th.
Get settled and help the freshmen move in August 21st.
Be on campus and meeting with girls all the way through the fall semester!
Not my plan:
To still need thousands of dollars (as of today) before I can move.
To have no control over time frames and move dates.
God's plan:
11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” -Jeremiah 29:11-14
The Lords plans for me are the ones that will prevail. Despite my shortcomings in support raising, ministry, relationships, speaking abilities, etc., He will get me where He wants me. I tend to think the only way for me to be in Gods plan, is being on campus and fully funded by the 15th. However, if I believe what God says... that means if I still need the same amount I need today, in two weeks I should still be giving thanks and praising HIM instead of believing the lie that I am failing. There are reasons God works out His plans the way He does.
I REALLLLLY want to be at Winthrop.. I am so looking forward to getting to know the students, campus, city, church, state, etc.. I do feel like the Lord has called me to this job. Not only with R.U.F. but at Winthrop University! I can't wait to figure out the ways students at UCF and WU are different and ways they are similar. I am looking forward to learning the things the Lord is going to teach me through the differences and hopefully use me to work in their lives as well.
I am praying that God would remind me HE is always on time. He is not worried about any possible "missed opportunities" if I don't make it to campus before the freshmen move in. He is not worried period.
He knows me. He knows Winthrop students.
He loves me. He loves Winthrop students.
AND I am praying for the rest of my funding to come in soon.. God is good and has been using His people to provide for me and will continue.
I ask that you would pray for my heart to be encouraged in this weird season, and join me in praying for my financial support to come in ASAP!
