Victory requires faith.


 Today God showed me that in the end,  faith prevails.

Those of you that know me, know that I am a student. A seriously struggling student, in more ways than one. When I started school, I had no idea how I would conquer one major battle - FUNDING. I made up in my mind that if it was meant to be, that it would all work out. It did.

All semester long looming over my shoulder was the dark cloud of summer tuition. Each day the semester was inching it's way to finals. I had not even secured my room for the summer on the last day of classes. Again I said to myself, "If it is meant to be, it will all work out." I avoided feeling stressed about the situation and kept living my life waking up giving thanks every day. My room and board is paid for.

About a month ago, distraction sure did try to come for me. I called the financial aid office to see what they could do for me and the counselor basically scrutinized me decision to move to NYC without a way to pay for everything. She was far from polite. It would have been easy to become distracted by her rudeness and began doubting myself - but I know this is where I am supposed to be, nothing will distract me from that. NOTHING - NOONE.

So, skip to the happy ending. Timing is everything and I just got off the phone with this counselor' supervisor. Not only did she find more grant money for my account to reduce my balance by half, but she is also going to have a conversation with Ms. Thang about her nasty 'tude.

My Final Theory: Persistence, Determination, and Patience PAY OFF!
