Huge Blessings!!!!

Huge blessings from the Lord. I was so excited about this that I decided to write a post about it. I thought I had my last semester at Pulaski Tech all planned out. Well unfortunately I didn't. I had been trying to get into a Microbiology since registration opened but all classes filled up immediately. I would check from time to time but nothing ever came up. And on top of that, there was only one class that would fit into my work schedule. I kept "thinking" that something would happen and there would an open seat. Well it got down to the last week and still... nothing. I also needed to get an approval from the Vice President of the college (Mr. Henderson) to take six classes. I never figured that this would be a big deal. Unfortunately it was. I called the school and all I got was answering machines for two days. I somehow got ahold the Vice President's assistant. At this point I thought I would have to wait a whole extra year to graudate. She told me that I was 0.3 points shy from what I had to have to get approved for an override.I thought, "oh Lord what am I going to do?" A day or so passes and I finally heard back from Mr Henderson and the Lord worked everything out in my favor!!! He got me approved and into a Microbiology class. And He even got me in the class that fit into my work schedule. After I found this out I just began to cry.... No matter how big or small our problems see, they are all special and equal in His eyes. Nothing, and I repeat nothing is impossible for God. He is so Good! 2010 has been an amazing year so far and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for the Matlocks.

Reflections of 2009

Yeah so I know that I am a little late posting things have been so busy during the holidays. But better late than never:) Anyway, this year has been a most exciting year with so many things happening. First of all, I got married. God blessed me with a wonderful husband!!! Then just three short months after we were married, God made a way for us to buy our first house. It happened at just the right time. I was also able to get a new job with higher pay which couldn't have happened at a better time. I finished another semester at college and now I am about to start my last semester at PTC... then on to UAMS for nursing. It seems like God has just made a way when there seemeth to be no way. He has always been right on time. In August, we suddenly lost my grandma which was hard for the whole family. I had so many questions of "why now God?" and many nights of feeling as I couldn't go on.... but with the help of my wonderful husband and great family and friends, we are taking it one day at a time. It has brought my whole family closer to one another and also took my walk with God to a higher level. Still at times, I miss her with all my heart, but I know that she is waiting just inside the gates to greet us when it is our time! I know that if she were here today, she would be so proud of our accomplishments and the she is cheering for my family and I from heaven. I want to make 2010 my best year ever and give God all that I have!!!!
