Blessed

Would like to share a total God thing that I experienced this past Friday afternoon. A way that I was blessed. Let me give the back story, then I will share the blessing. 


I have my summer mission's interview this past Friday night. My daddy came and got me that Thursday afternoon. We only have one vehicle, and that is his only day off, so it worked out. On Friday morning I had an eye Dr's. appointment with my interview to take place at six in the evening. Little did I know when my daddy came to pick me up, the truck was having transmission issues. Oh no. Not a good thing. At All.  (Maybe you see how this blessing is going to happen..but just wait). We make it home safely after a two hour trip from DSU to Vicksburg. I might add, I made it to my appointment on time and whatnot. But, I just didn't trust the truck to make it to my interview that evening. Maybe I didn't trust myself to drive the truck. Honestly, I was terrified that I would break down and have nobody to help me.  The interviews took place at Camp Garaywa, which is only about thirty minutes from my house. I sent out a mass text asking for prayer that I would make it there timely and safely. More safely than anything. Only moments after I sent it, a lady from my home church asked if she could take me. HELLO, BLESSING!! She took me to my interview. The ride gave us time to catch up on some things that I had missed over the past couple of months. After she agreed to take me, she posted a status saying, "Allow yourself to be a blessing to others."  She was a complete God send and an answer to a reluctant prayer. Through all of this, I figured out something that seems pretty big to me. Just as people need to allow themselves to be a blessing, I also must allow myself to receive the blessing. I kept going back and forth on whether or not to send out the mass text, and who to send it to. 


 So the other day, after checking my email about a million times, I found out I am going to Oklahoma for the summer, just in case you didn't read my other posts. I called people to let them know. My dad asked "When do I take you to the airport?" as if he can get rid of me that quickly. He then tells me today that I will most likely flying into Tulsa, which is apparently six miles away from where I am going. Who knows? I don't.  Anyway, I have gotten a lot of love from my Facebook family about it. Some, are slightly concerned, but nothing that I didn't expect.  I would be concerned if they weren't concerned. One of my surrogate mothers asked if she could bring me a home cooked meal. She lives in OK and I haven't seen her in FOREVER! I am totally and completely blessed by GOD to have so many people in my life that support me as I try my best to serve HIM. I certainly hope I can allow myself to be a blessing to others this summer and on my college campus. 


Thanks for reading...hope it wasn't too boring!
