The Flood Gates Open

We have so much to be thankful for each day. First and formost we need to give praise and thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for all that He provided for us this semester. I still am in awe of how God continually transforms our lives. Consistantly we prayed for God's provision for this semester. Some days we felt like hope would eveade our every effort. God just kept telling us to trust Him nevertheless. Through odd jobs, a yard sale, and the many blessings of friends we kept getting closer each day to what seemed an unreachable goal. God being the God of miracles ansered our prayers in full the other day.
I went in to pay more money on our bill the other day and something strange happened. The person in charge of students accounts wouldn't accept my money. I ask her why and she informed me that the bill had been covered already. I didn't believe her. So I tried again, but she persisted that the bill was paid in full by an anonymous donor. I couldn't believe it. Completely shocked I walked away rather dumbfounded after I thanked her for the good news. God simply laid it on someone's heart to support a student going into the ministry. I give God all the glory for the blessings poured out on us this past week.
Secondly I want to give thanks to all of you who have continually supported us whether it is a monthly gift, one time gift or simply all your prayers. Each of you are a blessing to us and we love and appreciate everyone of you. God continually teaches the act of trusting in Him. Thank you for allowing God to use you to bless us in my schooling and the ministries that we both are a part of.
God opens doors for us everyday to encourage many of the young people here on campus. We also participate in the college ministry at our church. Presently God has given us a passion for ministering to college students. Even though they are on a Christian college campus, many of them wrestle with some really heavy junk. God opens many doors for us to lift up and encourage them.
Rachel and I are truly blessed to be here at Johnson. We are both learning a lot about who we are in Christ, how to love as Christ loves, and to take the focus off of ourselves and trust in Him moment by moment. Thank you all for being a part of this journey.
