Nursing School News

I went to Ellisville (close to Laurel, MS) today to turn in my nursing application. I talked to Financial Aid while I was there and they are still talking like I'm eligible for scholarships (I'm not going to stop praying about that though). Then I went to the nursing office and turned in my application. The secretary of the department told me that my application is number 66 so far. She said that at the last minute, they often have 150-200 more applications come in. The program accepts 50-60 students each semester. Those odds are surprising. She told me that they aim to notify all applicants, one way or another, by the end of the semester. I'm very glad that I am in school. It will make this semester fly by. It will also keep my mind from dwelling on what I can do nothing about.
I am confident that God has brought me this far though. He will either see me through or open another door. I can't do anything but pray now.
My Discovery kids lesson at church Wednesday night was about God providing manna for the Hebrew children while they were in the wilderness. The point that I brought out was that we can trust God for everything. God took such good care of the Israelites while they were wandering. His Shekinah glory cloud provided direction, warmth, and light and then He gave them manna and quail. Why would he not provide for me too? I was really convicted today that if I teach our church kids about trusting God for everything, then I had better live my life trusting Him for everything too!

Maybe yall could pray with me about this. I'd sure appreciate it.
