Okay, facebook family, Ive got a story! Now, you are all full aware of my post, and its inevitable that it will be long, but I promise its rewarding. As a senior in high school, just a month away from graduating, my life is chaos. With AP testing, track meets every weekend, working after practice, homework after work, church, and family events, life doesnt seem to slow down. I was exhausted. Physically going to sleep, but my brain never shutting off. My dreams began to form into real life scenarios of me checking of my to do list. Hahaha pathetic! I am given the opportunity to form any thought, any crazy amazing scenario for six hours (on a good night) of pure bliss, and I was dreaming of life how it is, and what I needed to get done. Im not going to lie and tell you that I have miserable. In fact, just the opposite! I love, genuinely adore, being busy! I think its fun! I love having things to do and people to do them with. I thoroughly appreciate life and investing myself in as many experiences I can. I love working hard and feeling like I did as much as I could in one day. However, these past few months I have been pulling myself very thin. I had been picking up extra shifts and babysitting on the side trying to save for my college deposit. Still unsure how I was going to make my dream school a reality, I prayed and trusted God. I knew fear and worry are not of God and that living in either would get me nowhere. A peace just over came me. I knew if God had a will for my life, its going to happen. Now, thats not an excuse to sit back, get lazy, and wait for his blessing. So, I worked. I worked hard. I trusted that God was going to provide. I was just a few hundred away from my goal when I got a call from CCU. I was having a pretty rough day. You know, the ones where you cry over a dead turtle in the road because its an excuse to let out tears that have been bottled up for weeks from stress. The day where you cuss at the car in front of you because they decide to drive in a safely, but too their safe is too slow for me, and then you cry because you cussed at that car. That kind of day. No? You dont relate. Embarrassing... Well, I got a call. My admissions counselor said, Chloe, I forgot to tell you great news! Somebody paid for you deposit. What?, I semi croaked in the phone, as I almost hit a person walking with my car. (did I mention Im a really good driver?) And she said, Yes! Every cent has been paid for! They want to stay anonymous, but that means you can come to the freshman weekend and enroll with the other upcoming freshman! I cried that moment. (I cry a lot). I couldnt believe it. Now, the best part about it was somebody in my life wanted to bless me and I get to (privileged) to thank God for it! Im not special to God. He doesnt love me more or have bigger plans than the rest. He just knows that I trust Him. He knows Il let Him do His thing and that Ill write really long and way too personal post about it later. He knows that I will recognize things as blessings. I am privileged to live a life where God trusts me with this blessings. I cant thank Him enough for what Hes doing in my life and where its going to lead me next! Colorado is looking more real every day. He can bless all his children, in fact, He does! You just have to recognize them, trust God that He will, and work/appreciate with what youve already been given Now, I get to use my saved money to bless others! Its amazing really, this whole life thing.
