Prayer

 
          Hello Friends! 
These past few weeks have been incredibly insane for me. A couple weeks ago I was praying to God for the ability to be aware of where I am at with Him. And boy, did he give it to me! 
     It is so easy to get discouraged around springtime (especially in Oregon) where it is still cold and rainy, and you still have 4 months to go in school. Painful right? Well, of course on top of all of this sadness and spring fever, I decided to go to Haiti within a month barely funded basically saying to myself "I got this, I will sell my stuff and make money for Haiti! I can do it!" well, all of that is gung-ho until you actually begin to sell stuff on eBay, and nobody wants it. I found myself WAY underfunded, overwhelmed, stressed and teary-eyed and After a while, I thought to myself "woah, not once have I given this up to God. Not once did I actually believe that if God wants me on this trip, than he will take me on this trip. If I trust in Him to provide, he will provide. So, as I was sitting in the car, saying this to God, I got a call from my dad about an insurance settlement from a car accident I was in during December. And guess what, The settlement was EXACTLY the amount I needed to get to Haiti. WHAT. That was definitely God telling me I needed to trust in Him and whole-heartedly believe in his power.
    Okay God,
             I gotcha
                    I see your power
                             you're amazing
                                          Thank YOU for being so gracious!
