Prayer request

[7centsworth]

Hey everyone, this is Liz. I would like to ask y'all a favor (and I'm gonna tell ya right now, I have a tendency to be long-winded!). For years, I have wanted to go back to college for something in the medical field. After finally making up my mind to go into Dental Hygiene, I have underestimated how hard it would be. Only four people are accepted into the program per year!!! I can't afford any mistakes or I won't be accepted and if I'm not accepted, I will have to wait a full year before re-applying. So far, so good...I have a 4.0, but that is no guarantee. I keep telling myself I want to be where god wants me to be...so, my prayer is that I will be able to discern god's plan for my life and accept whatever comes and be flexible if need be. The problem is...I am not a flexible person. I am a perfectionist and a planner...not knowing what is ahead kills me. I pray and pray to overcome some of that, but I struggle daily. Please keep me in your prayers as I am making decisions that will affect my family for years to come. Travis is very supportive and I am blessed beyond words, but I can't help but feel guilt for taking time away from my family to accomplish a dream. I also worry about what my schooling is doing to our family financially as I am not able to get any financial aid...god always provides and I do know that, but it will still be hard. This is my last semester of pre-reqs and I will be applying this week for the program...the deadline in March 1st for application and I should know something in the next month or so. Thanks everyone for your prayers!

Liz, I'm really glad to see you posting! You ought to set up your own account here and join us regularly. I will be praying for you. I will be praying for God to open the doors that need to be opened for you, and for the doors that need to be closed, to be closed. I will be praying for the Lord to give you favor with Him and favor with all who you need favor with. He is able to arrange things so that you are one of the four chosen for the program! He can make a way when it looks like there is no way! Just turn it over to Him and trust Him to make a way.

God is in control and He will provide for your finances. Just make sure you are in His will. If so, He will bless you and see you through.

Thanks to all for the prayers and encouragement! I have a pre-admission conference tomorrow and will be shadowing a hygienist in the next week. I am excited and looking forward to see what god has in store.

Blessings,
Liz

Praying for God's will to be done in your's and your family's lives concerning the schooling and the job! Pray in faith believing and do not doubt and God will give you the answer and you will know what He wants for you and your family right now! Sometimes we run ahead of Him, instead of waiting for the right time and for His will to be done in our lives.....but know He loves you and only wants the best for everyone! I pray this in Jesus' precious name! Amen! May God Bless you and yours always! Ma Betty

Liz (and Travis),

Sometimes God will tell me some small thing will happen. I listen or I don't. When I listen I learn the sound of Gods voice. Then when the bigger things are going on I can better recognize Gods voice and respond or react appropiatly. Its a hard thing to do. I wish I had started listening and responding much earlier than I did and more often than I do.

I am getting better, I pray you are also.
Follow through with what you have started and I will pray Gods will be done in your lives.

God Bless
Jeff
