PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE!!!!!

Monday night i over charged my bank account. I had 7 dollars to my name, an Empty gas tank, am not getting paid until friday, and was -$5.20 in debt. Sooooo i was freaking out. Not only because i was not sure how i was going to clean all my pools tuesday with no gas, not sure how i was going to eat food cause my apartment is lacking in the food category, and had NO idea how i was going to pay the overdraft fees that Chase bank charges when you go into the negatives...

As you can imaging Tuesday morning for me was incredibly stressful! I was a little concerned. Of course i knew that the LORD has always provided for me and that this time wouldnt be any different. But i did not see a light for some reason. I was so distracted by my circumstances. Then, the LORD began to do the miraculous. My mom out of no where told me to take the truck to go clean pools, my hope began to rise up. I go to the bank and deposit the 7 dollars i have into my account. Then my amazing room-mate Amber pays me for our cable bill... Another 42 bucks... I deposit that an hour later. After I cleaned pools, I got back to the parentals casa and my mom goes through her pantry and starts throwing food at me. My hope is raising even more. Now i am just started to get excited. In the back of my mind there was still a little concern because of the overdraft fees and i was praying all day that those deposits went in my account fast enough to void them. Anywho, i am praying and trusting because at this point my eyes were now focused on the Creator(where they should have been the entire time). I check my account online and i am no longer in the negatives... I am so grateful at this point. But am waiting until Wednesday(today) to check again for the over draft charges...

WELL WELL WELL!!!! Let me tell you... I checked my Bank account today and the list of activity on my account was changed... the charge to my card that took me into the negatives on my account said that it happened AFTER i had deposited that money in my account. So it no longer had ANY record of me being in the negatives. Instead it looks like i was actually responsible and took care of my funds before the fact.

I CANT STOP SMILING!!!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD! The LORD is so faithful to provide. He is worthy of so much praise. I am so encouraged, especially cause there is a lot going on in my world right now. My faith is on an ultimate high right now, i know without a shadow of a doubt that the LORD is faithful, he IS with me, he IS in control, I do NOT need to be concerned at all!

EAT IT SATAN! You will NOT steal my Joy! :) WOOP!

OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!!
It may sound like something so little, But this was not chance, this was My GOD watching out for me and protecting me and providing for me and proving to me that he is so much bigger and better than all my doubt! Oh forgive me LORD for doubting you. You are so Awesome! :)

I had to share. I hope you are blessed and encouraged. Wherever you are whatever youre going through He is LORD! He is in Control! :) He's got your back! Yep, My GOD is awesome!!!

20

Well... I got there. I am 2 decades old now! I knew i needed to blog about my birthday and me getting so old :) But i wanted to take some time to reflect on the past year and share everything that i learned or realizations i came to. Obviously i cant tell you everything i learned cause that would take FOREVERRR but i will share some of the big things :)

1. GOD is for me, he will always love and fight for me no matter how stupid i am. This is one of the biggest things that i learned from GOD during my time with him.
2. GOD is faithful to provide. He proves this to me everyday.
3. Living on your own is expensive
4. Its important to swallow your pride and accept help when you really need the help.
5. I always knew i was pretty independent. But i have really seen growth in me as a person just by supporting myself, the LORD has really used it for good to help me become a stronger person.
6. Having time to yourself is important, to much alone time can be a hinderance.
7. Follow your heart
8. Staying positive is contagious, and people love the positive!
9. Be QUICK to listen, SLOW to respond in anger
10. Think before you speak... Words hurt.

Ill leave it at 10 for now! :)

Oh and my birthday present... I got a plane ticket to go see Terra in North Dakota!! :) I am beyond excited. I cant wait to go visit my second family!
