My first provision...

So I was in my car yesterday driving back home from Fort Worth, praying and brainstorming for my finances. I have to raise about $11,000 of support for the program in September. I also need to figure out what to do about my car and student loans. When speaking to my DTS leader over the phone the night before, he voiced that his only concern for me was how I would take care of all my dept. Me too! I am praying about the possiblity of selling my car but I may owe more than its worth.
Neway... I was telling God in the car that I would sell or sacrifice whatever he wanted. My current living situation came to mind. "oh...not that. I finally feel settled and like I have a home. I love it there... but ok." I thought of a friend and was asking God for direction concerning how to ask her if I could stay with her for free for 3 months. When I ran into her at work that day and told her that I got accepted in the program an amazing thing happened. I didn't have to orchestrate anything. She suggested I move in with her for free. Isn't that awesome?! I'll have my own room, will be close to my church family, stay with a wonderful friend, and save about $1200.
