Hey guys! Hopefully all is going well for y'all... Wish I could say the same here...

My family and I are going through some terrible financial stress right now. My dad has been out of job now for more than 9 months and its trying everything he can to find something, pretty much anything so he can provide for his family right now. My mom is the only working in the house right now and I know that's pretty stressful for her, trying to pay the bills and feeding 8 mouths including me and her. I ask that you pray for her that she might keep up her strength and not get stressed out. I'm so amazed by her and her hard work she's been doing to keep the family going. I love her so much! (Mom, if you're reading this, I love you and thank you for everything...) They've also been looking to move out of the house we've been in for over 5 years now. They've found quite a few and all are possible for them to get into but they need some kind of financial stability in order for it to happen. Please pray that this can be done! I'm personally going through some serious financial stress right now. I've been helping my folks however I can but due to that I've become broke and I still need to get necessities for the week (groceries, bathing stuff, etc). Please pray that God would start moving in a miraculous way, not just for me but my family as well...

I do have something to praise about: I found out this week that I've been accepted to Toccoa Falls!! YAY!! :D Now I just have to give them a $200 deposit and attend the Campus Visit Weekend... which is another reason why I need prayer. Again, no money and with my parents strapped for cash they more than likely won't be able to come get me in Atlanta and take me up to Toccoa (which is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour trip just one way! :/ ) or help me pay for the deposit! Again, pray that God's hand move in a big way right now! (more specifically, to have the deposit and the transportation to get there by Thursday!)



If you hadn't notice all the requesting of prayers right now, that's because of so much happening but more so I just helped finishing leading our first school sponsored All Night Prayer night here at ACC! We had about 5-10 people show up (people came and went through out the night) but regardless of that, it was so amazing! Something I hadn't experienced in quite some time (my college ministry use to do it and that's where I got the idea from). We talked about Lent/Sacrificing, Empowerment, Spiritual Warfare, Communion/Communing with God and others, Family and Friends and Community and prayed over all these things in our own lives and in the lives of others... it was some awesome stuff I hadn't seen since I've started at ACC. If there was one thing I can honestly say I took away from there it was this: Spiritual warfare is definitely at work more than we would like to admit and take notice of and my faith in God has been strengthen more so than it has been in a while. Thank God it was so successful and I hope that we can do it again and even more people get involved (maybe some teachers). There's no way to know or truly understand it except to experience for yourself... ;)

Well.. that's pretty much it for now! Sorry it was so short but I've got alot of stuff I got to get back to doing (homework, studying, etc.). I hope you all have a great week and I'll see ya around! Later days!
