I don't know why, but I am continually surprised when God answers me and prepares the way that I could never have seen. I moved back to Jefferson City, Tennessee to pursue my Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language about two weeks ago and in that short time, God has affirmed me being here over and over again.
I found out this past Monday that I received a Graduate Assistantship so school is paid for and I get paid to work for the Education Department during the week! Talk about a load off!
Today was the third Sunday at the same church and each Sunday, my eyes have welled up with tears because of a fullness of Spirit I feel when I'm there.
I've already hung out with my Sunday School class multiple times since being here.
I got frustrated yesterday over not having a desk yet...I know...crazy to freak out about. So I went to a few thrift stores and couldn't find anything and when I was in the car, I thought, "Okay...why are you freaking out? Just wait...you will fine one...don't rush this...be patient." Today, a friend asked me if I needed anything and I almost said, "Nope...I'm fine." But, instead thought about the desk....she thinks she has a few I could pick from for free. It's the little things that are huge.
Oh and Wednesday, I got a call from the church I'm attending to do child care that night, so now I have a job on Wednesday night keeping babies for a few hours....and I get a free meal! I was so pumped about that...girl's got to eat!
I saw my cousin Jeff the other day and he said, "Do you think maybe God wanted you here?"
Yeah, I do.
Yay Melodie! :) I knew you would get the assistantship! :) I told you that Dr. Teets would be crazy not to pick you! :) haha :) I'm so happy that you are happy at CN :) I wish I could be back there with you in Diane's house... well maybe not there, but somewhere! :) I'm also glad you have found a church that you love and have gotten involved with! :) Which one btw? Love you and miss you like crazy! :)
