"...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." ~Matt. 28:20~
Papi Tan Maravilloso,
I officially moved out of my apartment on Stewart street at 6:15 pm. I packed up the rest my belongings, lodded them in my Honda Insight (or sold them or gave them away), and headed to a dear friends house. I've made so many memories living in southern California over these past two years. There were times when I didn't know how I was going to pay the rent (especially the first year when I lived alone!), but you provided every month. It seemed like the lack of money was ALWAYS an issue. Now that I had the money for the rent, would I have enough to cover utilities and food? What about gas? Then there was finding money for books and school supplies. How could I properly prepare for my school work without money for books? Was I crazy for moving into a place I could barely afford (honestly, all of California's like that, no matter where you live :)? Was I wrong to move apply and go to school at Loma Linda when I was struggling so much? Then You'd remind me that it was Your hand that led me hear and that You'd take care of me. "...My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19). And Father, you continue to do so.
Before: My old room. Nothing's changed... you get the point :) |
After
I said, "Good bye" to my roommate Taoshin (I got a little emotional. It was a fun year... she a good friend thoughout the years). You brought me to Loma Linda to study nursing and you blessed me with this apartment and much more. I know that this is just one more step closer to fulfilling the will You have for my life.
