That's A Wrap

I'm honestly overwhelmed. This entire last week of my internship has been a crazy hurricane where I barely even had time to actually sit down and think about things. It's not even that late, but as I wait for my hair to dry from the shower, I'll write this one story that basically sums up my internship.

I needed to look into student loans for my last semester of school because my dad can't pay for all three of my brother, sister and my own's tuition without going into dangerous territory financially. So I did all the research needed, and basically only needed to apply. However, I pretty much forgot about it until a few days ago. Pushing it so close to Christmas time with almost anything is never a good idea. So, I had some concerns.

At the end of my internship, which was today, I knew that the church would take a love offering to give to me. And while I did expect some people to give me some, I didn't think it'd be more than a few hundred dollars at most. In the back of my mind, I also thought to myself, what if God wanted me to forget about student loans because there would be enough money from the love offering to pay off my tuition? I then thought that it'd be ridiculous. How can anyone realisitically expect people to give you upwards of 5 grand? So I dismissed the thought. God said to me, "watch this."

I am now staring at a cheque handed to me that has $5000 on it. When Greg announced to the church how much was given to me, I was so overwhelmed. I was already standing at the front to receive this cheque, and I was so humbled I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. So Greg handed me the cheque, and before he gave the benediction, whispered to me, "you're worth every penny." I just about lost it. But I had to get it together as quick as I could, because I had to go out to serve the cake. So I haven't even had the chance to process what just happened.

Now, I'm sitting in my bed with all my things packed, ready to leave first thing tomorrow morning. I still can't comprehend that I had been given almost $6000 between my last week of work and the love offering.

God is good. There really is nothing more that I can say. Thank you.
