Therefore I tell you, do not worry

So I figured I don't mention my spiritual life very often in my blog.....here's my attempt

If you've heard this already then sorry

So I was not guaranteed housing for school this fall. To sum it all up............no place to live! School emailed me telling me they would send out assignments in mid july. They did. I was wait listed. My number was 168 and then offered housing to 130 students. So this is mid july, the same time as senior dinner and a pretty hectic time at KCDC (though all six weeks are hectic). I spent a lot of time worrying and being paranoid about not having a place to live. It was so bad that I was even having nightmares about getting emails from the housing department saying I had no place to live. Then I took a step back, and realized Matthew 6 says not to worry. I stopped and told myself nothing I think is going to help. At this time, I was also doing a lot of praying. I basically told God, he has a plan for me. If that meant being in a dorm or being in private housing or even staying at home and commuting, I would be okay with it because that would be the way God wanted me to testify to the people in my life. Right before camp, I got another email from school. This time it said that they had already made a second round of housing offers but they only went up to 140! Only 10 offers!! In my head I was thinking, how is this possible?!! I was definitely frustrated. What's worse? They actually said that the chances of getting housing was really bad so I needed to start looking for a place around school.............how discouraging....So I started searching online for private apartments around campus that would house only Berkeley students. I gave my sister all the papers and I told her to just fill them out as soon as I got emailed all the info for the forms. Going up to camp........my attention was not on getting away from the distractions of the city and spending quality one on one time with God, instead I was worrying about housing. Then Monday night, I called home and my sister said I got an email from UCB housing offering me a triple mini suite. How amazing God works.

All those times I could have been trying to find a place during KCDC or during camp, God reminded me to focus on Him and that I didn't need to worry because he would always provide for me. So like I said up at camp, I give it all up to him because I know He was at work and that all things are possible with Him.
