Blessings

When Man Plans God laughs. A week ago I made the sad decission not to go to a very close friends wedding. I was sad for two reasons, one that I am not going but more dissapointing was that I was giving up on God.

But God has shown me otherwise. He has shown me that when I plan God Laughs. I don't know about most people but I like to plan things. My mom is a very impulsive person, which is one of the few things we don't ever see eye to eye on. So I plan trips, my day and so on. It gives me a sense of order.

But I do have room for God for He constanly keep me on my toes. I want to share the blessings.

Before I left for the Philippines I've been praying the Lord gives me a digital camera. Well for my going away shindig I was blessed with enough money to purchase my new camera. The following Monday my friend Jack showed me an ad for a camera for a fraction of the cost. So I contacted the store and even though they clearly posted on the ad no reservation or holds I was able to convince the manager to hold it for me. I promised to be there by Wednesday but I missed my appointment. My mom then told me she was going in that area on thursday. I called the shop and sure enough the manager decided to still hold I for me. By the time I got there the manager not only sold me the camera bu gave me a flyer and extra battery, and sold me a memory card and bag at a discount. But wait there's more. Two days later I noticed a pixel was out. I bring it back to the shop and they promised to replace with another refurbished camera. But they didn't have another reurbished camera so they had no choice but to give me a brand new one.

Now during the Philippines I had a series of ups and downs and during one of the lowest points. I wanted to go to Cebu for the upcoming world tournament. But I couldn't afford the rooms so my teachers and his family offered to pay for my room.

Then when I got back from Cebu my niece was getting married so now I can go back to the US which is what j needed.

And now I wanted to go to Hawaii for a friends wedding and I couldn't afford it. But I knew better now. For I know God was going to come through. But just at the moment when I gave up the Lord said I have not. So a friend was going tonpay for my ticket and lodging.

So my brothers and sisters in Christ the Lord provides all and wishes you to be happy. Just surrender it to God. And always remember by putting Him first He will Never put you second.
