I love it when God blesses me in little ways. I'm speaking of the kind of blessing I wouldn't have known I was missing if He just never blessed me with it at all.
Today we went by Trident Tech to sign-up for my three classes I'm going to be taking as dual credit.
First of all I'm just going to let you all know that I'm still home schooled.
Although, I am going to be taking two classes every Saturday and one class online.
My dad is actually going to be taking me to school, and he's going to be standing guard over me there, and I'm perfectly content and happy with him protecting me. He is going to sit outside my classes and have a quiet time and prepare for his sermons. Works out perfectly.
Anyway, after we finished talking with the helpful guidance counseler, he then told us we should head on over to Trident's bookstore to get the books I'll need.
I knew the books were not cheap, but I did't know how much... they were a lot.
We're talking like $165 for my English 101 book, and I don't remember how much the Computer 101 book was, but it was even more!
Dad and I were looking around and realizing how everything was really going to add up. While we were looking and talking with someone who worked in the bookstore a 24-year-old-ish girl standing close by overheard us talking. When the lady who was helping my dad and I pointed dad to another section I was left still looking through what would very soon be my English 101 book. The 23-year-old-ish girl came up to me and asked, "Did you say you were taking Psychology 201?" and I told her I was and she then pulled out, from her bag, one of the books I would need for the PSY 201 class and she said "I took this class last semester and I tried to sell it back to the bookstore, but they didn't want it. So would you like it?" I told her how extremely thankful I was and now I have one of my books for Psychology!
Isn't that a blessing?
And I didn't even pray that some random girl would pull the exact Psychology book out of her purse and hand it to me.
God knows our needs even if we don't tell Him, and he always wants us to give the glory to Him for the good things that happen in in our lives.
A lot of times I forget who provides me with good things in my life.... it's always God!
I'm going to be trying harder and harder to give God glory for everything good.
Actually, I'm also striving hard to even thank God for the not so good times too because I know He puts me through hardship, so He can shape me into His image.
So let me ask,
has God blessed you lately in anyway?
If so, then will you please share it?
Isaiah 25
O LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done marvelous things,
things planned long ago.
10 Thoughts:
Wow...isn't it AWESOME how God provides for us like that? Just shows how much He cares about us and everything going on in our lives. :)
Hm, how has God blessed me lately? Well, He gave me some answers yesterday on an issue that I was VERY confused about, very depressed about, and worried excessively about. It feels so nice to have Him take that confusion, that depression, that worry, and lift it completely off my shoulders. And I'm so thankful for Him. :)
Love & Blessings this Christmas,

PS thanks for your comment. :)
That is such a blessing! You're taking Psychology? That sounds interesting, if you get the chance, you could maybe tell me what it's about. :)
God has blessed me a lot recently by giving me good grades when the assignment seemed (to me) to be terrible. He's also helped me get done enormous amounts of reading on time. =)
love ya!

God blesses me continually, moment by moment, just like he did you, with the random girl and her book, and the cool thing, is that he does it just because He loves us!
Since you asked, He blessed me in a huge way a little over a year ago, by bringing this really sweet family into my families life, at a time when friendship was a real need, and he is still using that sweet family daily to bring us continued joy! Thank you Lord!
That is so neat, I love it when the Lord dose things like this, It always shakes me up and reminds me that He is the Lord of every thing. What a Blessing I hope your classes go well.

God is good!
I just wanted to let you know that you can get very discounted college texts through Amazon and Ebay. My sister has bought all of her books for college through those two stores, and has saved hundreds of dollars! I plan to do the same.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! And, I enjoyed reading the answers to your tag, as well!
God Bless,
Nicole
Psychology is a wonderful subject glad you are studying it. I minored it it at Uni.... then went on to do a further 2 years and a Diploma...
Have a happy blessed Christmas.
Hey Karis,
Just read this. That's awesome that the girl gave you the book you needed. Just as a bit of helpful advice for the future on purchasing books, if you get the ISBN numbers from the books you need and just put those into Amazon.com, usually you can find them used there at a substantially discounted rate. It's how I purchased all of my books for undergrad and law school. Hope your classes are going well, and that you are doing well. Tell your family I said hello.
