A little introduction. . .

A blank screen in front of me~where does one begin to start the story?? 

Do I start now?  There are 21.5 years of my life that would give a lot of insight into what is being posted October 2012. 

I believe I will start in 2012 and fill in the past details when necessary.  (There may be flashback episodes when time permits.)

In opening I would like to share some of what the Lord has taught me this week. 

This semester of school has been testing my faith, as I took a new job that in turn gave me a pay cut.  An extra $50 a week makes a big difference to a college girl.  :)  Being payed every 2 weeks, I had been especially looking forward to this paycheck~such essentials as coffee supplies and toothpaste were running low.  Somehow, the warning letter for all of my funds being placed on my school bill didn't come as it has the past 3 years at various points in the 6 semesters here at Bob Jones.  But the Lord was not blind to my need.  Thankfully, I didn't go charging off to the Business Office only to find that there was no money to take out of my account, but I checked online before I walked there.  I was tempted to be frustrated and despair, but in tears I told the Lord I knew He could provide, and I prayed that He would. 
That evening, I talked with mom and she said, "Have you checked your account lately??"  I had not.  She shared with me that someone had given me a gift a week before, but she had been unable to place it in my home account until that day (a week later.)  God's timing was perfect.  He knew exactly what I needed and when I needed it. 

"His eye is on the sparrow, and I truly KNOW He watches me."
