I have finally dug my way out of debt. I've been surviving off of my $1000 credit card for the past 2 years, and last week i paid it off. Praise God, seriously. This marks the end of my financial faith journey that God has lead me on for the past 4 years. I came to Southeastern not knowing how i was going to pay for the necessary rent, car insurance, gas, phone, food and part of my tuition. But God provided. As i have done on other occasions, i just said, "If this is what God wants me to do, then He will provide the money. If it isn't what He wants me to do then i pray that i fail miserably so that i will change my course." (arguments aside over whether one can truly act apart from His will) God used my family, scholarships, my church family, friends, and employers to accomplish His will. It didn't fall out of the sky, but one doesn't have to be a mathematician to see that i never earned enough money in any single month to cover all of my expenses. Yet here i am, with my degree and no student loans, no car payment, nothing. That is a miracle, just one that God chose to accomplish more subtly. God is good.
Now i embark on my next Journey. Portland. I spoke with the lady in charge of that area and she said that the NAMB is only going to pay for 5 semester missionaries to the whole Northwest. (at least i think thats what she said) So, with that in mind we discussed a few other options such as getting a part time job with benefits. Apparently Starbucks does that. So, basically i'm definetly going, its just a matter of how much financial assisstance i will be recieving through the NAMB.
I am confident that if this is where God wants me to go, then He will provide. I look forward to seeing how He does it this time.
