A Personal Matter

First and foremost, I wanna say I really admire you guys for having a "prayer request" forum on this site. It's almost unbelievable and I must say my respect and love for this site has just skyrocketed to another level.

I'm new to the boards and I haven't really spoken personally with anyone on here. I'd like to introduce myself to you guys for the first time; my name is Ronnie, but you can call my rhYno, or whichever you prefer.

I'm 21 years old and I'm an aspiring filmmaker who's yet to direct a single film. Writing and directing films is something I've wanted to do my entire life. At the current moment, I'm struggling meeting the proper financial requirments to get up and going at the film school I've already been accepted into. It's an issue concerning my apartment and the loan(s) I have applied for to cover my entire tuition.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys could just slightly aknowledge this issue when you say your daily prayer(s).

Thanks again! God bless and Roll Tide!

U got it Ronnie. Keep ya in my prayers and good luck at school. God will show you a little light. Just know things come in his time not ours. Keep praying and be patient.

Ronnie

Always remember where God guides He provides, just at the right time not a moment to soon nor to late God is there. Keep the faith and stay faithful.

Will do Ronnie! Remember God gave you free will because where there is a will there is a way. You do your best to make good choices and He will provide for you the strength to make it through anything.

I was honoring my commitment to pray for you this morning and ran across this devotional thought from David Jeremiah; I hope it is as encouraging to you as it was to me.

Deferred Performance

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You.
Psalm 25:21

The eighteenth century English minister, Matthew Henry, wrote, "Cast not away your confidence because God defers His performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in His time, which is always the more convenient season. He is not bound to keep our time, but He will perform His word, honour our faith, and reward them that diligently seek Him."

Sometimes it can seem like God does not show up when we want Him to. But as Henry states, God simply defers His performances at times in order to teach us the concept of active waiting. God's desire is not for us to stop serving Him simply because we are waiting for His answer. He wants us to seek Him all the more and be about His business during the waiting period, for it is in those precious times that we learn to be dependent upon God alone and not upon an answer to our prayer.
We need to keep doing what is right, living in a godly manner, knowing that the Lord will answer in His time. Let us not be anxiously moving ahead, but patiently waiting for Him.

I will charge my soul to believe and wait for Him, and will follow His providence, and not go before it, nor stay behind it."
Samuel Rutherford

I haven't had the chance to thank any of you guys yet, so I'd like to do so now.

The prayer has been answered and I'm currently heading into my sixth month, and everything is going smoothly so far, and I'm enjoying every single minute of it.

I really appreciate your guys' kindness and if any of you ever need, myself, to keep you and yours in my prayers, don't hesitate to message me.

Thank you all, again, for not only the prayers, but for the uplifting quotes and scriptures as well.

I hope God richly blesses all of you and I'm here for you all if you ever need me for anything!

God bless and Roll Tide!
