"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
                                                              -James 1:5

So its officially ONE month to go till I head out of here, and I have a few praises to share from the last week or so!

First, I recieved my finanacial aid package from Houghton in the mail, with an extra letter telling me that I was being given an extra THOUSAND dollars for next year simply because I'm interested in nursing. Such a huge blessing and answer to prayer! I keep trying to trust and He certainly keeps providing, even if I'm stuggling.

Second, God has been teaching me so much these past couple weeks. Walking with me as I ask question after question that I accumulated this freshman year of school...and patiently guiding my heart as I seek His answers.
Speaking of which, just a little while ago my grandmother shared a piece of wisdom with me based on the verse above. Her advice to me was, "Don't insult God. Ask believing." So clear and concise:) I have been reminded of this short and to-the-point summary of this passage often recently, including times when friends have even texted me this specific verse as encouragement. In my experience God doesnt waste words, and therefore doesnt repeat things unless they are important, so Ive been taking these verses to heart. I realize that I don't have all the answers to this life or where I'm headed next. But I have a God who will walk with me and guide me if only I will ask. Praise His Name :)

Third, I have been overwhelmed with genuine friends and blessings this past week. So many words of encouragement, time taken out to share, and joyful moments from God, reminding me that I have a God who cares about the everyday, "little things". He can take care of those seemingly enormous financial issues and overwheming questions about life...but He also reminded me this week that He's watching the little things of our lives too. That quickly swept away tear, or the tender word of encouragement in the moment it was needed. He sees, He cares, and where ever we're at, He cherishes us.

I pray that what ever you're doing and whatever place you're in today as you read this post, that you would know and remember you are loved just the same.
Love in Christ,
Kelly
