UCA

Well it all started with the build up of faith. Faith in our father. The days were counting down and I needed to get a decent grade in my Pre-Calc class. I began putting most of my time into my math studies and I thought that things were going good. Test time came and I kept telling myself, I can do this. It can’t possibly be that hard! So I got a good grade on that test and then I had one more week until the end of the semester. I needed this test to be good so I could end with a good average. I did great on my assignments and I studied for the last test. The day finally came. LAST DAY. But I got the test and got through the first couple of problems and around the fifth one I began to panic and didn’t know for sure what to do. I always pray before my tests and this time I prayed many more times that day. I had to come back to take the test, because it just took me forever to think about the problems. So I turned that test in and I kept had this feeling that I could do okay. Which in my head is not the best I could do. So I had to stress the whole weekend to find out what I had and this grade depended on my going to this most amazing school that I am currently attending, UCA. This school has brought so many great blessings to my life. I have met God in so many new ways and continue to believe and have faith him even more after this incredible lesson I have learned. But anyways I finally found out what my grade was and I didn’t hit the goal I was going for. I was off by about 1.2%. I was thinking God how can I get that close? So then I knew I had to call my aunt and uncle and tell them about it. It was the hardest thing to do, because I knew what the deal was and I didn’t make it. I thought that my life couldn’t get and worse then it already had. My aunt just said take a breathe and calm down. I was crying so bad I felt like my head was going to explode. So I had to wait the following week to know what the answer was if I was going to have to pack my bags up that following week or stay. I couldn’t think about anything else. Luckily that whole week I didn’t have any homework, because I probably wouldn’t have done that good. But it came down to the night that I was going to find out. Before all this I had been praying with my teachers and my counselor. I needed God to answer my prayers right now. I felt as if I had a huge increase of faith that I gained within that week. Those moments of thinking I was going to loose something so incredible as this school was just terrible. I had met so many good friends, teachers, and most of grew closer to God here. I didn’t want to leave that behind. I wanted more and more.
So my uncle was talking to me and he was like well me and your aunt decided what we were going to go and my heart stopped. I was waiting there……..it felt like a hour had just passed and I was thinking okay, come on tell me and he was like well me and your aunt love you very much and we think that the best place to be right now is UCA. Wow was that an incredible answer to receive from him. I instantly started to burst into tears and began to thank him so much for his amazing grace. He had just made me the luckiest girl in the world. Well that is what I thought. I got off of the phone and I just began to thank God so much!


Isn’t it incredible how much God listens to you, how much people love you so much that they would do anything for you? Well I felt the faith in me begin to build up and settle in a good area. The area where God is present in me. I felt so blessed to have loving family, friends, teachers, etc that are there for me. I thank God everyday for his blessings and his future blessings on me and others that need it more.
