One more day of classes this week, then Im off to Mexico Saturday afternoon. I had a good day today and actually understood the math. It is a wonderful thing when you understand and can work the problem and get the correct answer. Those of you who are math wizards you just don't know how blessed you are! I am missing all next week of classes, but I plan to study in the evenings while in Mexico. (hopefully) I am scheduled to take my final exams of Friday August 10th, so that gives me time when I get back to study hard. Please pray for me and the whole team going to Mexico next week. I am looking forward to see what God will do!
Audios!!

Update!
Well Ive experienced my first obstacle. I was struggling with some of the math over the weekend and expected to take a test monday morning. I got frazzled and upset because I just wasnt understanding. We were doing volume to weight word problems and kilogram to liters and all that hard kind of stuff. But I want to share just how amazing God is and how if we trust in him, He will see us through. I got up monday morning decided after spending time reading God's word and praying that I was just going to go do the best I could and ask for some quick reviewing before the quiz. So...I asked the Chef if we could take a few minutes to go over some of the problems and he said " Oh, we are not going to test on this today, I want to make sure everyone understands the material." I almost laughed out loud!! Seriously!! God took care of it for me and I got to spend another day reviewing. That is amazing and I feel blessed. However, I know that its not always going to be easy and I struggled again today with a new chapter, but my trust is in the Lord. No matter what!

God answers prayers!
I am pleased to announce that the Federal Pell Grant came through!!Yay!! God is so good! It amazes me how God has worked out all the details and continues to prove to me that He is in control. It is only when we let go of the control that we find true peace. Please continue to pray that I can receive some State Grant Aid and to find a job.

The First Day...
I am truly blessed with so many people lifting me up in prayer and I can feel the power prayer brings. I was nervous but quickly felt very comfortable and assured that this is where God wants me. I enjoyed the classes and felt excitement about what the future holds for me in this field. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to everyone who prayed for me! Words can not express how much I appreciate your prayers. Off to another day! :)

Romans 4: 20,21
"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave Glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."
Dear God, I may not know what tomorrow brings. I may not see your plan. But I fully lean on your promised word and the provisions of your hand. Thank you for your faithfulness and how you stay beside me. I never want to wonder far or lose my walk to find thee. You call my name quietly and I follow as you will. And I trust in your leading me always ever still. Oh dear God, how you love me, I know I don't deserve. What a mystery to understand the greatness of whom I serve. As I take my next step there you will be I do not have to fear. Because you are my loving Father and Friend always very near.

Financial aid!
Well Im still in the process of getting my financial aid. It has been a big ordeal and somewhat of a headache but Im trusting God will work it all out. The financial secretary told me to go ahead and pay as if I have already gotten it, so that is a blessing. Any way please pray for me as I continue on this journey.

Counting down the days!
I only have 11 more days until I start school. It is so exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I really have no idea what to expect. Culinary Math and ServeSafe are my first classes, which will start July 16th through August 3rd. Three weeks of classes but I will have to miss the third week due to a commitment to a mission trip to Mexico. I have been allowed to miss this week and make up the final exams to certify when I return from Mexico. I will be in Mexico from July 28th through August 5th. I will also start looking for a job when I return from Mexico. I am praying for guidance to find the job that is best for me and for the job that I know God already has planned. This also makes me nervous, because I have no experience in a restaurant or any public food establishment. Just one more step of faith, trusting God will be my strength and give me the ability to meet this challenge. My devotion this morning was from 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on the Lord because He cares for you." And Philipians 4:6,7 "Do not be anxious about Anything , but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiveing, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." I am so grateful for a loving Savior who is faithful and dependable. I find comfort and strength in God's Holy Word.
