This is too cool

Last night Annette and I went to Trinity International University for the information session for the fall semester. As we were signing in, they gave me a name tag and put my name in a bowl for the drawing later. After the session the director of the program came up to do the drawing. The Holy Spirit spoke to me very quietly and told me that I would win the drawing. Well.... I did. It's not the prize that excites me. It is the fact that God very clearly and succinctly spoke to me. I approached the director after the meeting and told him I wanted to share something with him. As I started he stopped me and said "you felt your name didn't you?" He said that as he was about to ask me to pull the winning ticket, he stopped because he knew that I would pull my own name. How cool is that!? God is always speaking to us. The problem is that's we are not always listening. I can hardly contain myself in anticipation of getting back into school. God is the God of second chances!

Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

My prayer for ya'll

Ephesians 1:15-23 (KJV)
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation inc the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
