Has anyone laughed with God recently?? You should try it..it is such an amazing experience. Anyone who has been around me and cared enough to notice, knows that i love to laugh and i laugh about a lot of things. i especially love to laugh with God. i will share only one thing that God and I have laughed about together recently...
because i think in the other occasions, others might not see it as a laughing matter...and because it will make this blog so long, someone would hunt me down and hide the keyboards from me...hahaha
So, the first thing is how God aligns my path to fit his will. last Friday i helped an old friend move to another location. Knowing that God is soveriegn, it didn't hit me until two days ago, that the King of my life was trying to confirm my prayers through my friend. we had a great talk while taking a breather from lifting boxes to just catch up on life since i haven't seen her in ages. we were talking about trusting in God and i told her about a vision the Lord gave to me four months ago and how that vision is being played out in my life right now.
And one of those things is in regard to the ministry the Lord has called me to do on the school campus. There are many problems that prevented me from starting this ministry and one of the reason is that i will be transfering to another school for the spring semester and it is extremely unrealistic timewise, to juggle all that i am doing now, and keep a double enrollment in order to do this ministry. But i know this is what God is calling me to do and doing God's will is priority. so i considered enrolling in only one class in the spring and taking the rest at my current school. the other plan is to just stay at my current school and start the other school in the fall instead... even if it meant prolonging my credentials another semester.
and the word of wisdom that God spoke through her was: "something is going to happen that' ll stop you from enrolling in the spring semester; it could even be something small like all the classes being full or something. it usually happens because you need to stay at your school.
so what did happen??? nope, it wasn't because the classes i need were closed. two days ago i found out the 5 unit math class i am taking in the winter aren't transferable units. does that mean i am short five units??? nope! i only needed 1 unit to hit the 56 unit minimum requirement but i took this math class to get a head start on my minor and in the process, obtain this missing 1 unit. but, hahahaha, now i am short one unit. All of this because i accidently registered for the wrong class by entering the wrong section number. instead of math 245, i'm taking math 120. even when i printed out my class schedule it didn't occur to me to check it thoroughly. and when i found out it was a geometry class, i was alittle surprise but that didn't register and faze me either. hahaha
so i called the school to find out if it would be a problem and they said that it wasn't and i can still register for classes. the only thing is i would be a sophmore instead of a junior until i complete the one unit. Even so, i asked them to roll over my application to the fall semester anyway. what other confirmation do i need right?
Then God gave me something more to laugh about. immediately after that, i wanted to set an appointment with a counselor to talk about my DAR but i couldn't find a listing for the counseling office. So i figured i should just call any number and ask them to transfer the call to the dept. i need. i chose the EOP office since i wanted to ask them about applying anyway. knocking down two birds with one stone, i thought. They told me that EOP doesn't accept application for the Spring and i won't qualify if i tried for the fall semester since they do not help those who are returning students. what??? this is so hilarious. God knew that if i started in the Spring...i wouldn't be able get financial help. hahahah I laughed so loud and long, my momma thought i was crazy.
God is an awesome God and i love laughing with him. i must say that God loves laughing with us but most of the time we just don't understand or appreciate his humor. i didn't just laugh because he showed me why i shouldn't worry about my future. but in the midst of all this, i laugh because he subtly reminded me that if i just obeyed, all will fall into place. **and that goes for the ministry which will happen in the spring semester. hallellujah!!!
