Month of Miracles

Greetings to all,

First and foremost, before I really get into this post, I'd like to publicly congratulate my good friends Candace & Calvin Martens on their new born baby Daughter Calista Grace! Congratulations, and may God bless Calista with two of the most loving parents I know.

Well, it has been another 3 weeks since my last post and still haven't worked at my previous employers position delivering furniture, and have been continuing my lesson in trust. I must admit, that it hasn't been an easy lesson to learn, and am struggling to understand what I should do next, but I continue to seek God's favor in everything. One thing that is pressing upon me with worry, is the fact that in about a month from now, I'd like to have everything ready to enroll in the Bachelor of Theology: Degree program from Southern Cross, hosted at the Hillsong Church Hills campus, and financially I'll need a miracle to see it pass.

Here at Church, and with all the students in College wanting to continue on with studying, it seems to be a theme that we are all in need of financial aid, to keep going further in growing and learning with Christ. I've felt as though praying to God about His provision in continuing my time here is one aspect that I'll continue to seek, but also allowing others to know about this circumstance might be just as important and wise. I've felt that God may also want to humble me by making my needs known, with being real, and relying and trusting on His timing instead of our quick fix and conveniences we so often indulge. I'm not going to say that it's an exciting time, or tell you that it brings joy to my heart to trust in God in this way, because the truth is that its quite the opposite. At the moment, trusting in God doesn't seem to add up, and that it seems the walls of impossibility are growing ever stronger and larger. To continue standing in Faith when everything else tells you the "what ifs" in life, just makes this season even more difficult to go through. With pure conviction in my heart, I know I'm not meant to let go, and take my leave earlier than anticipated. I know that my training remains here for another 3 years, and that something miraculous is in store for this month to grow stronger in Faith, and see how big our God really is. Not to test God, but to know Him through His miracles.

I believe!

I'm now asking, would you believe with me? Can I know that people are praying for this miracle to take place? I'm not only asking for your prayers, but your faith within this season. Faith to hear a good report, faith to know God deeper than before, faith to see through impossibilities with miracles, faith like that of a child innocent to the world's view.

God may also place the convictions in people's hearts to give generously to help as well, but I leave that completely in God's hands. If for any reason you have this conviction, I can be contacted personally via email at PRoss02@Gmail.com

I must also let people know that I've prayed very much about my requests, and have not asked anything in vain or wrong motives, but out of humility and humbleness.

I thank you for helping me on this journey, with love and heart felt prayers, I couldn't be here without all of you, where God has called me.

God Bless
