GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!

God is truly amazing! He has just really answered my prayers, especially last week.
First (and least important) - some of the deadlines for my assignments were pushed back.
Second - when I needed another musical to watch, he provided for me through my friend Bandi, who was playing a homeschoolers league production of Hello Dolly! And he provided for me a place to stay that night during the tornado - her house.
Third - when he told me to "wait" after I asked him what to do about my confused roommate who thought she was lesbian but also brought drama with her everywhere and is very immature and selfish, he made the decision for me when she told me she wasn't coming back next semester. So now I can stay where I am with my suitemates and get a different roommate who will most likely be better for me. And I trust him to take care of her at community college.
Fourth - When I was worried about not having a summer job and trying ti trust God to provide, I finally applied to 2 places that were sort of last-choice jobs, he brought me a pastor who was interested in interviewing me, and came to my college so i didn't have to drive to little rock, and it turns out I'm EXACTLY what they need to start a children's ministry. I would be an intern working on different programs for their summer children's programs, I would be very involved in the church, and I might even be playing in a praise band because they need a bass player!! The pastor told me not in so many words that I'm exactly what he was looking for, and he had no other applicants at the time of my interview, and I find out tonight if I'm for sure offered the job. God is SO GOOD! This is truly a perfect fit! I would be living in Little Rock with Bandi, and developing my friendship with her because she's amazing!!!
So seriously, God provides. He really does. The only thing I'm worried about is just getting everything packed and stored somewhere. I'm also worried about my finals and some late papers that I have to write today. But I'm learning how to truly trust God. He takes care of his children.
Right now I'm listening to a podcast from Breakaway Ministries, where Ben Stuart is talking about love, and how that is the main thing we need to work on. He's in a series that is talking about entanglements, and this week's topic is religious entanglements, I think mainly legalism. It's interesting. I have to quit typing, but that's something I'm really working on, is loving God and loving others. Oswald Chambers talks about how love is spontaneous. It says that love is a spontaneous response to what God has done for, and the overflow of the work of the Holy Spirit in your love. Love is not in our nature, it's given to us by the Holy Spirit.
Ok well, I'm getting off.
God, thank you. For answering my prayers. For loving me. For giving me love. And for changing me to become more like You. I'm yours. It's not about me.
