God's perfect time

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" (Eclesiastes 3:1)

When I came to the States for the very first time back in 2006, I knew that as an Au-pair I could take some classes and I thought how wonderful could be to take Bible classes in English. I wanted to go to Bible school and learn more about God, His word and every possible thing that I could learn about my LORD. It's being three years since God placed that dream in my heart, but just now it is a reality.

Walking three years and seeing how difficult it was, tried to turn me down a couple times. In 2006, I told my family, who was paying my Universities studies as a teacher, that I wanted to go to Bible school and go to missions; to my surprised, my older sister who totally disagreed with me for going to an Assemblies of God church, was the one who told me that she will help me as much as possible to make my dream come true. During 2006 I tried to find a school but I could not. During half of that year I didn't have Christians friends and looking for a church was even harder. I thought it couldn't be.

In 2007, I moved to New Jersey and met my good friends at Glad Tidings church. Amy, (my closes friend) used to sit and listen to me for hours and hours. I told her about my desire of going to Bible school and she told me that I could do it. There was not a lot of people who believed I could do so, but even her dad, Rev. Snyder gave me some information about Global University and VFCC. I was planing in going to VFCC, but I found out that it was a little too much that what I could afford, so I took the paper that he gave me with the Global University web side and kept it with me; I looked at it but even though the classes were not expensive, I knew I could not afford them from Colombia and I was living in less that six motnhs.

After I met Craig, I told Him about my dreams, including that one, but it was just last week that we were sitting on our sofa and I mentioned to him the same thing: "I want to take some Bible classes"-I said. His answer, "why don't you do it online with Global University?"-Wow! what else could I say? I asked him to look with me online and I enrolled to get my credentials with the Assemblies of God.

I think for so many reason, that even thought God placed that desire on my heart in 2006 , His perfect timing is now, three years after!
1- I know more English that what I used to; when I first came here, I didn't have a good level of English, which could have made my classes a compelte chaos. There is a lot of reading and who knows how could I handle that.
2-Craig is a blessing to me and I can ask him as many questions as I have, he always try to help me. It's good to have a Rev. at home.
3-God blessed us with the ability of being able to afford those classes and I can live here... as a resident now!

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4)

You have no idea how much I've learn so far and to finish this, I want to share with you the following paragraph out of one of my lessons:

"Zechariah and Elizabeth could not have a child in their old age, and it was impossible for the virgin Mary to give birth. But nothing is impossible with God. People do not fathom how God does things, but through faith they can understand that what is impossible for them is possible for their heavenly Father. When God calls on people to do something, He will always provide a way. Hold on to the dream God has placed in your heart, even when others doubt, mock, or say it will never happen. If something is truly of God, He will bring it to pass. Nothing is impossible with Him!" (The life and Teachings of Christ, Global University, Unit 1, Chapter 1, Lesson 1.2,Page 18)
