As you may not know Ronnie is in 2 schools. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for a bachelor of arts in Biblical Studies and Durham Tech for a certificate to be an Optician. We have been blessed to have Durham Tech payed for but Seminary seems to pose a slight financial issue only because Ronnie and I both have quite a bit of school debt already accumulated because of poor judgment calls early in our college life. :) Well it is time to sign up for classes at seminary and Ronnie wasn't to sure if he was going to take classes this semester. Well obviously God intervened and he knew it would take a strong influence to do so...let me explain, while in Walmart yesterday Ronnie ran into Dr. Akin himself (wow that hardly ever happens outside of school) and they began to talk, Ronnie expained our situation in an overview and swiftly and quickly Dr. Akin leaned in and said "Ronnie do you not know who we serve? He can make all of your problems and debt go away like that as he snapped his fingers." Talk about a wake up call. Why is it that we forget or choose not to recognize who we serve. Not just because he can take it away at any point but because he knows better than we do why he allows us to face the what we call opsticals in our lives. We see them as past mistakes but he sees them as times where he was able to instill a piece of himself into the way we live our life. Our so called "mistakes" change the way we make the next decision. It gets our attention. We are not born knowing how to be a perfect replecia of Jesus. We spend our lifetime with him molding us into one day becomming perfect like him.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard the Lord is the everlasting God the creator of the ends of the earth. HE will not grow tired or weary and his understanding no one can fathom." Isaiah 40:28

Did you pay attention to the part of NO ONE can fathom. That means no matter how hard we try to understand or pressure ourselves into thinking if only I had done this, we will never understand why God allows us to take the paths and make the decisions that we make. We only know that he is sanctifing us in the process!
