More Validation...

Hey everyone,
We've settled into another week and another team. This large team from Memphis, TN hit the ground running and is working on 3 heavy labor projects. They're doing great.
We wanted to share with you what God has done in our lives which just further validates our decision to come to Guatemala for the summer.
We are preparing to head home in less than two weeks, and just out of curiosity, we checked Sophie's financial statement from IU. When we pulled it up, we were shocked to find out that her total tuition and fees for the year is less than $100! We couldn't figure it out, and so we looked more closely, and Sophie had received a number of grants. She received a small O'Bannon grant for being an outstanding Indiana resident college student. Then we saw a small Federal Pell Grant that she got for marrying a poor graduate student! :) Then, the remainder of the tuition and fees was paid for by the IU Pell Promise award: an award given to outstanding students who qualify for the Federal Pell grant. We were shocked! As far as we can tell, she will keep this award as long as she maintains a 3.0 GPA. It pretty much means a full ride scholarship.
This just served as such a reminder that God will provide for us. We can trace it all the way back to our decision to switch out of the PhD program at IU and pursue the Master's. As someone said, it's just the cherry on top of all our blessings. As we see it, God is blessing us above and beyond what we could ever hope or ask for. Not only did I get an AWESOME job with a 20 minute phone interview, but he's taken care of us in ways we never even asked.
If that is the cherry on top, we got sprinkles too! I got an email yesterday, offering me an adjunct position at Ivy Tech that I had applied for in the spring. We are still considering and praying about this position, but regardless, God has shown that no matter what, he will provide. It really shows God's sense of humor in the whole situation.
It's a lesson to all of us that the Lord will never stop heaping his blessings upon you if you allow him to and listen to his calling.
