Excitment!!!

Ok, BIG NEWS!!!!!! I got accepted to teachers college!! WOOHOO!!! I am so excited and thrilled! This has always been my dream, to teach, so to have the first step in place to make it come true is inbelievable! :):):):) I am really really really happy! Oh, and I officially accepted Laurier's offer, so I will be moving to Waterloo. God is so good!

But God also taught me alot through the process of waiting to find out about school. The acceptances were suppose to come out on Monday, but the website did not inform us that they would be not be updating until Wednesday. Therefore on monday when I checked, I thought that I had been rejected by all schools. Let's just say that there was quite the waterworks show -- I didn't know i had that many tears in me! I just couldn't understand why God would take that away from me too.But God really spoke to me about my attitude and the reasons as to why I wanted teachers college. I realized that I had a very selfish attitude, wanting to know why God would take it away from me. How teachers college is what I really wanted. I realized that I was not letting God control the academic part of my life. That I was comfortable making my own plans and doing what I could to fulfill those plans. God gave my a big wake up call, when I thought I wasn't accepted and I realized how dependence I had become on myself and how I had pushed God to the back. Wow, I needed that wake up call and I am thankful that God taught me those lessons. Because I turned back to God and confessed my selfishness, and then God provided the acceptence letter for me. I am so thankful for God's provision, and for leading my future.

God is so faithful to His children and I am learning that over and over and over and over again. As my undergrad comes to an end in a few short weeks, there are so many thoughts that run through my head. As I reflect on all that God has taught me, shown me and brought me through, I am humbled and brought to my knees. There is no way that I could have survived without His hand guiding me and protecting me. I am so thankful. It does make me sad to leave and to leave behind friends and move on, but there is also an excitment that flows within, when I think of the new adventures that God has waiting for me.

I am also getting more and more excited about Africa!! I leave in 22 days...wow, that's not that far away!! But I know that God has great things planned, both for the Canadians and the Africans! So please continue to be in prayer still -- I need it! As exams approach and time fels a little short, I know that I will need your prayers to keep focused. Please keep praying for my support as well. I know that God is my great provider, and I trust in Him that He will provide, but I ask for your prayers, that before I leave, I will see all my funds come in!

I am heading home for Easter in about an hour...I can't wait to see some of you at home!
