*Answered Prayers*
Hi everyone! I still can't believe that I am writing this. I just received a letter today stating that I have been accepted to the GOV internship. I got through the first two sentences and started crying. Not so much because I was accepted, but because I know that God has opened this door and I am taking a step towards Christ in going. 
I have to be honest, I was ready to send out the e-mail that I hadn't been accepted and to pray that God would open another door, since they were letting everyone know by the 15th. God really used this past month to work my patience and faith in Him.
I have been extremely blessed. With so many replying to my first e-mail and promising their prayers it was very encouraging and helpful. I want to thank you all very much for taking the time to do so. I can say with all sincerity that it meant everything to me.
Now that I have been accepted there's a lot to do. And I would like to ask if you would somewhat change my first prayer request and pray for the upcoming internship in the following areas:
*Mental/ Emotional/ Spiritual Preparation - That God would prepare me as much as possible within the next two months. That He would cultivate my servants heart so that I will be the best tool possible for Him while serving that month. Also, I hope that it will be time in which God will reveal my most painful weaknesses so that I may grow closer to Him. Pray that I would be open and accepting of this mentoring process and my eyes peeled for God's direction for the future. 1 Peter 1:13-16
*Schooling- Within these next two months, I need to finish all of my schooling for the year.  Pray for grace and an attentive mind.2 Chronicles 16:9a
*Financial support- I have to raise a total of $1,295 before March 31st. $500 of which must be in by Feb. 25th. I have no doubt that God will provide this in time. Phil. 4:19
* Health - Some of you know that I have been struggling with physical problems for over 1 1/2 years now. My only concern in this area is that I won't be able to physically handle one month of long hours on my feet, with fewer hours of precious sleep. Just pray that God will give me an abundance of energy, a strong immune system, and the strength and ability that I need to carry out every task that comes my way. Isaiah 40:31
*Unity - Even though it is still two months away, I ask that you would pray for unity between the GOV team, the other intern and myself. That each and every person would be open and accepting of the other, and that together we will form a dynamite team doing great things for the Lord and to His glory. 1 Peter 1:22b 1 Cor. 12:12,13
These are the requests at the time. I want to thank you all again and again!

All glory and praise to God!
May He profoundly bless you all!
