PRAISE the LORD
Firstly and foremostly, I apologise for the long delay in updating this blog...I hope you haven't been disappointed too many times by finding the same blog as last time.
What a season! Christmas is around the corner almost pratcially here, the decorations are up, the smell of baked goods are floating in the atmosphere, presents being wrapped... blah blah blah...the list goes on. Actually, right now I'm just feeling very thankful because I just got an email saying that I am eligible for the Kings College London bursary. For those of you who have absolutely no idea what that is, and I didn't before I started University, is that the school is giving me £1350 for "no apparant reason". This is non-repayable and is suppose to help me fund my education! Isn't that an answer to prayer??? On top of the grant which I am getting now, basically my tuition fees are completely paid for! Praise the Lord for his provision indeed! Of course, there's still the question of accomodatiom, travel and food but I think the fees was the major thing.
Please, however, continue to pray that I will get my National insurance number so that my loan will still come in.
Another wonderful thing to be thankful for is that of one of my close friends being here in London (Michelle Hey). She arrived this morning. Unfortunately, my family and I will be gone for about 2 weeks to Spain and by the time I get back, we have jsut about one week to spend together and even then, I'm sure she's being "booked" pretty quickly by all her other acquaintances here in the UK. I am a little disappointed to not have more time with her but I am thankful that she is here and that I will be able to see her tonight.
Like I said, it is such a tremendous time of the year to be celebrating God's goodness and mercy and LIFE! Of course, we don't want to limit that celebration to just one day or one month or one season but for the rest of our lives. It is SUCH an exciting time and I hope and pray that you will all be excited with me.
"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to YOUR name give Glory, because of Your mercy, Becayse of Your truth" (psalms 115:1
PSALMS 100!
Thank you all for standing with us over the years or however long you have been faithful for the glory of the Lord. Blessed christmas and the happiest of new years to you.
