I wrote the previous blog yesterday afternoon, and then last night received two successive calls from my mom. The first phone call informed me that $1,000 had already been raised, and we just rejoiced in the way that the Lord was providing. We continued to talk and catch up and then said our goodbyes. Within an hour, I received a second call from my mother. She had just been informed that another $2,000 had been raised. Yes, from Wednesday to Sunday the Lord provided $3,000 and it isn't over yet. There are so many details I could write about, how the Lord's timing is always perfect, how the Lord provides and intricately works all things together for His good. But, instead I just want to praise my God. For He is good, and big, and faithful, and nothing is impossible for Him. I am overwhelmed by His goodness. When I first took the step of faith, I was certain that He would provide. However, as I thought about what I did, I questioned my actions. I wondered if I was crazy. So now I stand so blessed and so excited to testify about the power of my King! I pray that He will continue to open the floodgates of Heaven and provide beyond what we can imagine. I pray that the Lord will receive all the glory and that this will start a revival at school. There are already several students who have been so thankful and so excited about being able to stay at school, and we in turn get to tell them that it is all because a God loves them so much that He brought nations together to provide for their fees. So please join me in praising our God, and to all of you who have supported these students, this is the heart of God, and thank you for being obedient to His calling!

"Give thanks to the LORD for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords for his steadfast love endures forever, to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever... It is he who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures forever, and rescued us from our foes, for his steadfast love endures forever; he who gives food to all flesh, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever." Psalm 136: 1-4, 23-26

So I give thanks to the Provider of all good things, for His steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the orchestrator of great works, for His steadfast love endures forever. To Him who remembers the orphaned and the poor, for His steadfast love endures forever. To Him who calls a simple girl to take a step of faith, for His steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to Him who is faithful, for His steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to Him to whom nothing is impossible, for His steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the one who has the whole world in His hands, for His steadfast love endures forever! Give thanks to the Lord of Swaziland and America, His steadfast love endures forever!

What a mighty God we serve!
