I had come to terms with not being offered a Co-op Scholarship. I knew that the degree I was in suited me and I knew how I could glorify God through it.
Then today I got a call offering me the scholarship I had previously longed for. What to do?
I've decided I'm taking it (after consulting many brothers and sisters). I remember I prayed ages ago that God would use co-op to humble me rather than build my pride. And he did. I don't feel proud of myself now. I am simply in awe of God's plan. I know that in everything, He desires that I become more like His son and in Him, I intend to do just that. In the offer that He gave me, not the one I earned for myself.
My Mum texted me this:
"I think it is much better that you get it now than before your motivations and purposes are much more intact now. If you would have got it the first round you would be too overconfident."
I think she's right. God gave me time to really solidify who I was in Him before being thrown into a world where I am constantly defined by my achievements and ambitions.
