Thumbs up God is sooooo good!!!

I thank God for allowing me to get into grad school and have a full fellowship (which I applied for AFTER the deadline)!
I was laid off of work. I used it as an opportunity to go back to school. I didn't want to stay in social work anyway.
While on unemployment (also a blessing), I looked for work. I knew no one would hire me because I was going back to school, but I had to please the unemployment people. After a while, I just stopped looking. A woman at my church who has the gift of prophesy said that I should thank God in advance for the job that I was about to get. I thanked Him even though I knew I wasn't trying to get a job. Two weeks later, a professor called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to be her research assistant (paid educational position)!
I also thank God for the continuous blessings He has given me while I've been in school. I'm currently working as a Hall Director which gives me a free apartment and a stipend. Also, my professors think that my research ideas are very good and well thought out (only through His grace!). I'm developing such a good reputation that some people think that I already have my degree. I've been asked to speak at conferences and offered tenure-track positions (until I tell them I'm still a student). I'm not even ABD yet, but I thank Him for allowing me to pass the first part of my quals!

I also thank God for my very supportive family! I thank Him for their continued health and longevity.
I also thank Him for the way He has blessed the other people I care about. Most recently, for the health of my line sister's daughter.
