PRAYER NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i stood in line for financial aid for 3 hrs. before getting to the window, a guy came through the line & took paperwork for the type of academic restriction that i'm on (look at a previous post for explanation on this situation). i gave my papers to him. he told me to hope that my appeal's accepted by next mon, when school starts, but it may not be accepted for 2 wks. if that's the case, i won't be able to take classes this summer, therefore my graduation will be postponed for a 4th time. if i could pay out of pocket & get reimbursed later by fin aid, this wouldn't be an issue. i had to drop my classes so that i wouldn't be charged the $75 fee for not paying tuition on time. fee payment deadline is wed. once the appeal's accepted, the tuition will be paid in a day. at that point, i'll be able to register for classes again, hopefully the same ones i'm in now. i've emailed all my profs, hoping they'll let me get back in. i'm only taking 1 vet class, which i'm almost positive i'll be able to get back in. if i'm not let back in the non-vet classes, idk what i'll do in order to be full time for insurance & fin aid. plz pray that the appeal will be accepted w/in the wk, the sooner, the better.

notes from church today

Pastor Bob Hearon
God's Time line for Joseph:

Joseph received the dream to rule over Egypt when he was 17 yrs old (Gen 37).
yr 1: he was sold into slavery at age 17 (Gen 37).
yr 2-4?: he was in Potiphar's house (Gen 39).
yr 5-10?: he was in prison (Gen 40).
yr 11-12?: he was forgotten by the Baker (Gen 40).
yr 13? he rules Egypt when he's 30 yrs old (Gen41).

Joseph waited 13 yrs for God to fulfill his dream. i made a list of the dreams that God has given me & the yrs that He gave them to me. I'm going to type them up, write down the following verses, & maybe God's time line for Joseph, & put the paper on my bulletin board.

these verses in Ps were from last wk's sermon by Pastor Darryl Philips.
"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes...Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along His path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed." Psalm 37:7, 34 NLT

i've known the following verse since i was a kid. it wasn't in either sermon that's mentioned in this post.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV.
I just faxed my appeal to financial aid at CSCC. if accepted, i'll continue getting money for college. there's 1 wk left of break before summer qtr starts.

I went to an integrative med dr at OSU, who gave me names of a bunch of supplements to take to treat the migraines. i just bought them today & will start taking them tonight.

notes from church

Notes from church: Pastor Chris Old: 5/30/10 all these verses are from the NIV
Forgiveness

Romans 12:9 "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will replay,' says the Lord."

Prov 24:17 "Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do no let your heart rejoice,"

Matt 5:44 "But I tell you: Love your enemies & pray for those who persecute you,"

Romans 12:18 "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." seek to release, not be friends. write a letter to the person saying you forgive them & are praying for them. Action of will, not emotions.

Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind & compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Matt 6:14 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

declare your forgiveness, have friends pray for you, & eventually, the emotions will catch up w/your will.
