Ephesians 4:19

"And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Chris Jesus."

How true this is! My God has blessed me so much. And amazingly, as much as I've tried to take care of all the details myself and make sure that everything is set for my trip this summer, and as much as these just haven't worked out, I have a peace from the Holy Spirit. I've been trying to sublease my apartment, but half of the rent still isn't covered. And although there have been several points when I was positive that it would be taken care of by either someone interested in subleting or extra money, they haven't worked out. But maybe it was never about having everything handed to me, having everything work seamlessly. Maybe it is about realizing that God is completely in control and that in His hands, it will be ok. Maybe it's realizing that we walk by faith and not by sight and we don't always know how things are going to work out, but God does! And all things work together for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Well I love him and have been called according to his purpose so his word says that this is going to be okay. Maybe all along this is what I needed to learn.

Please pray that my faith would increase! Praise him for the peace that he has blessed me with concerning my apartment. And pray that something will happen, and the half of the rent left will be covered.

Pray that as I prepare for my trip I will not depend on myself but that I will depend fully on Christ.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
