Hello my brothers and sisters.
I hope you are well. I am that girl who faced some struggles back then in college, but the lord kept me so close and tight in his arms. I am now in my last year in college and I tell you that the lord totally changed ALL MY PLANS AND GAVE ME HIS. He put in a major where I wouldnt be tolerated but celebrated. He put me where I found my peace and happiness. I tell you, at first, I said, Lord, everything else has not been working not so good since my freshman year, why do you have to turn me BACK NOw, my junior year  when I only have 3 courses to complete my X degree. This was a painful change in my life but I TELL YOU THAT THE LORD GAVE ME COMFORT AND THE TRANSITION WENT SMOOTHLY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE LORD TOOK ME OUT OF ALL MY CLASSES WHICH WERE GIVING ME PROBLEMS AND HE TOTALLY GAVE ME SOMETHING ELSE DIFFERENT. I tell you that when the lord says yes, nobody can say a NO. I thought I would lose all my scholarships as I became part-time without enough credits to make me fulltime BUT THE FINANCIAL AID PEOPLE SAID, NO PROBLEM…….. SHE IS VERY FINE. I KNEW THE LORD  WAS GUIDING ME AND HE HAD PUT ME IN THE RIGHT PLACE.  I am now doing Health Communication. I actually had taken 9 credits in Health communication before, to make this interesting, one of the courses I took happened to be by mistake and didnt notice it till end of my junior year when the change happened. Now when the Lord gave me  this new major, I looked back and I said, it is God who let me take all those Health communication courses that were not part of my major at all..BECAUSE HE KNEW MY FUTURE, HE KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME, HE KNEW ABOUT THE FUTURE CHANGES AND HE KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK. HAVING HAD taken these courses made my transition to Health communication major easy. CHALLENGED ACCEPTED. I ACCEPTED WHAT THE LORD GAVE ME AND IM VERY HAPPY. I look forward to having a great senior year. I know some people in this X department will be looking down on me BUT WHAT MATTERS IS THAT I AM WHERE THE LORD NEEDS ME TO BE. I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE I ALSO EXPERIENCED  SO MUCH DISCRIMINATION IN x department. I tried to be strong but i wasnt happy there.
Now Im studying to take the GRE and go to graduate school in public health (international health) Fall 2014. Â I am leaving this in God ‘s hands because He might have something totally different for me hehehehehehe. Please pray for me. The GRE is 185 dollars to take and I dont want to take them twice. Keep me in your prayers.
I would like to take this little time I have just to encourage all the teens out there and college students like me to pour out their hearts to the Lord, because God is the God who gives direction, guides us and knows our destiny. He loves us so much. Hallelujah. The lord is teaching me some life lessons and what obedience means. I am learning to put my life in God’s hands and let God give me his WILL. I am  learning to trust in HIm with everything and little things I have. If He directed me, He can do the same to you and everyone else who pours their hearts to HIm.
I have one of my favorite verses the Lord gave me. “We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps”.Proverbs 16:9
When I was changing my major, the Lord gave me a verse. Isiah 43. Â 1-7. I found encouragement from this word.
I have another testimony. I was recently broke after buying my textbooks. I was simply broke and I prayed the Lord would bless me with some money to buy food at school as I will be cooking for my seniour year instead of eating from the cafe. Â I went to church and when it was time for offering. I was ashamed that I could not give God anything. The man next to me suddenly slide 100 dollars and at first I thought it was candy. I looked at it and it was money. I gave the lord 20 dollars. he later then told me that the Lord told him to give me some money. I did not know this man at all and it was my first time to see him in this church. I gave thanks to the Lord.
When we pray, the Lord hears us. Just wait and stand still in faith.
Thank you all for taking your time to listen to me and read my little story. I hope it touches many of you especially those of my age. I am in my early twenties…… I am glad that I have grown to trust in the Lord and let Him give me His will for my life.
I will be keeping you posted if I have any news. Please again, keep me in your prayers as I study for my GRE. I have been studying for 2 months and I take them this septemmber. I hope you are encouraged by my story. Thank you and may the lord bless you all.
God is good! Thankyou for sharing.
Hi Chemistry1991! I just praise God Almighty, when I see young people of your age who devote their lives to Jesus Christ the Lord! You must realize how big a privilege it is, to have such a relationship with the Lord and trust Him as you do on your age!In all, we must pray to God, to keep us on His road! God really is our Comforter, our Guide and Provider like no one else! God is soooo great! We just can’t understand His Greatness, Majesty and His Love for us! I want to praise God for each and every experience He gives to us,so that we can see Him in action! It happens everyday and every moment, but the bad news is – the world’s eyes and ears are closed by Satan! Satan try so hard, as to keep the world’s eyes closed, and even if he can, he really try to close the eyes and ears of God’s children!
But, God said:”NOTHING can take His children away from Him!” Therefore, we can walk in faith and even in the valley of death – God will be with us! God showed to you how much he loves you! Trust in Him, He will never ever fail you! By now you also know, everything happen within God’s plan! Sometimes we don’t understand if things don’t happen the way we want it to, and sometimes the things that happen, pull us down to our knees! But, I truly believe what the Word of God says:
It’s also good to remember – if all are just “well” and you don’t experience any hardships, the chances are good that, even with small problems, you my stumble and fall! God purify and test His children’s faith in so many ways! In times when seas are rough and the storms are around us, our faith are actually tested. People who believe all must just go well when you follow the Lord, must go and read the Bible again! If I read about Jesus’s disciples (and they were very close to Jesus)and what they all have to endure while they were following Him, and spread His Word…, it’s clear to understand what the Word of God means by saying: “you will be like sheep among wolfs!”. But, never ever loose hope and faith – 2000+ years ago, Jesus Christ showed the world and heavens that He is the King of Kings and with that He ensured Everlasting Life to all of us who believes in Him!
I pray for you Chemistry1991 and for each and every child of God – in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ the Lord!!! May God be with you!May He bless you and comfort you in this day and the days to come! May our faith just grow stronger and stronger in Him – because our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ is alive! He will live and rule forever, we praise YOU Father God,Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! AMEN
I’ve read this at such a strange time. I’ve just written my final exams to enter my 3rd year of college, or at least i hope so. My grades have been pretty bad and despite all that i’ve tried i know i probably deserve a fail. I’ve been so traumatized and discouraged by it all, and I’m still wondering whether God would have mercy on me to give me one last chance at excelling at my studies. Seeing this is really encouraging. I wish i could have just a portion of your faith and blessings so that I’d know i’d pass into the 3rd year with no problems.
Thank you for the testimony, it really helps despite my misgivings. Praise the Lord.
