My God shall supply ALL my needs...

I am so completely overwhelmed by God's goodness right now.  Last night I went to Atlanta, for the annual dinner of the "America-Korea Friendship Society".  I was invited by a member of the Berry College Board of Trustees after they heard that I had won a Fulbright scholarship to South Korea.  It was such a wonderful evening.  Everyone I talked to was just so ecstatic for me.  I spoke to several native Koreans who underscored the importance that most Koreans place on learning English and about the American culture, and told me how happy they would be to have me over there.  I heard stories from other Americans who have lived there.  Literally without exception, no one who has had any interaction with South Korea has told me anything negative.  It was just soooo encouraging.  For the first time since I got my acceptance letter, I'm actually excited to go.  Still nervous beyond belief, but God's really starting to convince me that this is where I'm supposed to go, and that He's going to do big things, things beyond my wildest dreams, while I'm over there.

After I got back from the dinner, I talked about graduation plans with my best friend, Rachel.  Also for the first time, I'm starting to look forward to graduation without trepidation.  I no longer view it as simply a relief from studying, but an entry into the scary real world; but rather the close of one chapter in my life and the start of a new one, an incredible one.  Am I still nervous?  Absolutely.  Do I worry about what the future holds?  Without question.  But every day, I am struck more and more by the fact that my God truly shall supply ALL my needs, according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).  What a wonderfully comforting thought.
