| Right now, I do not have to pay for any of my school tuition except the activity fees, books, and the parking permit which is already a blessing. However, God's blessing does not ended there, I just received a $2,453.45 check from the financial aid department from Mt. Sac. This check is a blessing from God. Ever since the Spring of 2008, I've been working and studying in order to pay for my gas, books, food, and school expenses. I've not asked my mom for money to pay for any of my school tuition since she already has a lot to deal with. After deciding to support myself, I realized that my saving starting to go up and I was able to buy my own laptop for school use. God helps me to learn the value of money by earning it myself. Yet, His blessing does not ended here either. Cynthia looked at my financial aid letter and stated that I will receive another check worth of $2,600 in the mail for spring of 09'. I am amazed.
In Ecclesiastes, we learned about the different seasons in life and the importance of knowing which season we are in. I believe that I am in fall, a period in my life where I have to reflect upon His word, to wait for His answer, and to resolve with my feelings. To think that I will know my college result in May, this determination of my next chapter in life will be reveal. I am scared. Am I ready to take this calling... Move away from home etc. The preparation is very little. Time flies day by day, and I need to cherish this family and friends time spend. The time is now. As I am waiting, I have to grow more mature, and build a strong foundation upon His word. One thing that I promised God in my Christian walk is that I will not give up my faith in Him. It's the only promise that I dare to make before the Lord. I do not want my years in university to be like the Israelites wondering in the dessert and complaining to God. I want to be ready like today's prophetic word said "The harvests are plenty, but the workers are few." Of course, I have to start from small steps in surrendering my life as a living sacrifice to Him on a daily basis. To die to myself, this means to not go by my own flesh or feeling.
Prepare me oh Lord.

| I just checked my nutrition grade. I think I did horrible on my final; however, it's ok. We had a 50 fill in and 50 multiple choices... there were 15 chapters. I did not have time to study all of them, so I skipped the Vitamin, Minerals, and Fat. Sure enough, those chapters that I skipped appeared a lot on the test. OHH now, I just remember that before I was able to take the final. I came to school 10 minutes early and I was sitting in the car. I could not find my 3"x5" note card that you could use it for the test. "Are you serious... PEAR!!!!" I rushed home... and it was in front of the door... "NICE ONE" I went to my class 20 minutes late, but somehow they just started taking the final. During those time, I was praying in tongue, and asked God to calm me down. I trusted Him that He could work through me. Ok going back to the test, I have no clue what's going on... my heartbeat was still racing and the multiple choices seemed right to me, but is it... -__- The fill in was okay... I rushed through. I know that it's not me but GOD. I got an 84% on the final, and my grade = 414/460 points. It was just so amazing because that 0.90 or 90% = A. One point less, I would get a B. God just showed me that it's He who could work through me. Even though I did not manage my time that well... His grace is sufficient for me. After the final, I thought that I would get a B in this easy and fun class... what a bump. God just turned the situation around. Then I read Jess's blog about Hosea and his prostitute wife, I was touched that God's love it like that. Again and again, He will never change; He will be the same.
