God - Can Do

Rusty and I have been really relying on John 16:33 recently, especially in regards to our finances. We've also been praying for an opportunity to open up for Rachel to go to Christian School. We've been interested in a school and about a month ago, I set out on an adventure that I would have never expected to unfold like it has.

I started Rachel in the enrollment process for this school that we've had in mind. I got all of the documents in order, had an interview with the principal where I told her that Rachel's attending their school would depend on the financing coming through, etc. The principal mentioned the McKay Scholarship which applies to kids in public school that desire to go to private school. She told me that they could fund a portion of the tuition, and then there are other scholarships out there that we could apply for to try to fund the remaining balance that McKay didn't pay.

I have heard of the McKay Scholarship before, but didn't really know much about it. I went ahead and applied for it, and just left it in God's hands. I even told the principal that if it didn't work out, it was okay with me. Rachel really is doing just fine at her current school.

I checked a few weeks later on the status of the application for the McKay Scholarship, and my mind was officially blown when I read the award! Rachel received more than 100% of her tuition paid for! If she gets accepted into the school, she will be FULLY FUNDED for the rest of her school days (until college)!

God really is good!

John 16:33
I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world!
