Provision
Being at LU has been a blessing for me. I have had to learn to depend on God completely and trust that He will come through for me in my deepest need. I have seen Him work miraculously day by day. This faith building excercise really began on Wednesday, August 29. I was still at home, but I was getting ready to leave for LeTourneau. I called my Financial Aid advisor to get an estimate on what my first payment would be for the semester. She looked at my file and said, “Oh! You have 67 hours, I can give you another $1000 on your Stafford loan if you want it.”
Up to that point, I didn’t know how I was going to pay my first tuition payment and buy my school books.
I was able to make my first payment with the money I still had no clue about the second $1300 payment due at the end of October and even less sure of the December one. There comes a point where you know that there is nothing in your power to do but pray. I am certain that God wants me here at LeTourneau, but I guess this is my faith building excercise.
My mom lost her job in July, so we filled out a special circumstances form. Friday, I got the results back and they equal up to about $1200 in grants. He has provided me with jobs to work and I actually have payments that are feasible to make on student worker pay.
I don’t know if I will be here next semester. I must depend upon God for that too. I am thankful that I at least have this semester, and I’ll let God worry about next. I’m flexible.
