I have been unemployed for 2 years. I quit my job and moved to Georgia with my family. (Big Mistake) I dropped out of college in NJ and went to cosmetology school in GA. I finished the school but never took my exam because I have not paid the school yet. I moved back to NJ and decided to go back to school. By God’s grace, the school let me back in. (My grades were so bad, my parents wanted a doctor, I just wanted to live my life and travel) (My parents learned the hard way, you can’t change a child’s dream for your own, traveling is still my passion) I still was without a job, in debt, and creditors calling me, then it turned into lawyers calling me. I had no money to pay for school, and God told me to keep going. So I got back into school and by GOD’S grace, my bill went my $6,000 + to $175 bucks, because of school grants; which I never applied for. I still did not have the money to pay. I was babysitting making 60 bucks a week. I could not afford my car payments, let alone my insurance. Summer time came around “08” and God told me to take summer classes because I can graduate school by December. By GOD’S grace, I SOME HOW received a PRIVATE LOAN, I applied through a bank. (My credit score is below 550) I had no bank account; that got closed. I could not open a bank account because I owed a bank money. I started my summer classes and I received grants from my school again which left me with money that the school would reimburse me. With that money, I paid off the bank and paid off a few bills. 2nd semester during the summer, my car gets reposes, I was 3 months behind on payments. (I cried my eyes out) This was my all time low. God knew having wheels was my freedom from everything and everyone. (Ppl, my first car, I added 10,000 miles on my car in less then 6 months, (I drove in NJ and Manhattan) which I totaled within 6 months) But God is GREAT. My 2nd semester, the school reimburses me again and by God’s GRACE, one of my teachers was moving overseas and she wanted to sell her car. She sold me her car for $1,000 and since I did not have any more money, she paid for my registration and filled up my gas tank.
So the fall comes around and I realized I can graduate Dec. “08” my GPA went up from a 1.5 to a 3.0. I was more passionate about Theology then Biology. Dec. comes around and grants did not cover my full tuition. I was left with a balance of $601.35. I was down and felt my life was not going anywhere. I prayed like crazy, (I am a church girl, went to church every Sunday) and I always read my bible before bed. I kept going, I knew I could not give up, because my breakthrough had to come. January “09” and my school sends me a bill that was $1,591.35. I held my breath and I prayed.
Well my breakthrough came yesterday. I called up my school today 2/11/09 complaining about my extremely high bill and the first guy I spoke to could not tell me anything over the phone, so I asked to be transferred to someone else. PPL, I almost caught a heart attack, tears were in my eyes. She told me my bill was paid for in full because of grants. I got down on my knees and cried HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the Lord ALL MIGHTY. WORTHY TO BE PRAISED. I am still shocked, I can’t believe it. ME…..people. The way my life was going, I thought I was going to have to wait and wait until I did something right (in God’s eyes) for GOD to answer my prayers. Boy was I wrong. Plus, now I have 3 bank accounts (just in case I can’t stand one and have to leave) , and a job which I was offered this week. I was done with school and I still received money. That’s more then Beautiful…..that’s GOD’S LOVE
I know I am a FOOL, but I am a fool that wants to be corrected by GOD.
All Hail the King….His Love Endures Forever…..The King Above All Kings…..The Lord Above All….My Savior, My King, My Love, My Everything
What has God done for You?
