Micah

I've been offered a scholarship. It's really cool, because it means I have to work at the school I wanted to work at anyway. So it's nice...

I've just been praying about whether or not to accept it. Everything that I can see/Imagine seems good. Obviously the God of the universe knows things that I cant even imagine and knows the beginning from the end.

I have a tendency to worry and stress about stuff. I've felt a bit far away from God lately, as I know that I've sinned, and even though I've asked for forgiveness, and know that forgivness is the one request that God never denys... I still feel further from him than I have in a long time. So I felt a bit weird praying about it and asking for his blessing and direction in life.

Opened my bible and just read some bits I've highlighted at some previous time in my life...

Micah 7:
7 "But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for GOd my Saviour, my God will hear me.
8 "...Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light"
18-19 "Who is a God like you, who pardons the sin and forgives transgression...you do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us, you will tread our sins underfooot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea!"

Pretty cool. I'm worried about how accepting the scholarship will affect my current attempt at getting centrelink to pay me all the money they said they were going to pay me this year but never did! But hey... It's all a blessing really! I'm wanting to use the money to buy a car, which I'm going to desperately need next year!
