A scholarship for you!

Today, I wanted to share some information with my readers. A scholarship for you was thought about due my quest to obtain scholarship information for my first college bound son. Although he has entered on a football scholarship there are other fees that he needed. Understand parents, for your children there is a scholarship out there.

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.

Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.

Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Walking By Faith

At the moment of salvation, we receive Jesus Christ by faith. We trust that He exists and willingly forgives our sins when we repent. Unfortunately, many new believers are not instructed in living by faith. Instead, these people try to follow a legalistic code of works and spend their lives frustrated and worried that they have not done enough to earn God's good will. But we were never meant to live the Christian life under our own power.
The apostle Paul often taught on the subject of walking by faith. To him, that meant enjoying a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which involves placing trust in Him for every circumstance of life. Our old patterns of behavior and attitudes are left behind. As we move forward in intimate companionship with the Savior, He works to develop in us new patterns of behavior and thinking. In our relationship with Christ, we have everything we need for a godly life.
On a practical level, this means trusting the Lord daily for His care and provision, and obeying His instructions. Sometimes God's directions make little sense to us with our limited view of the world and the future. But if we walk by faith, we are not relying on what we see or feel; we are confidently expecting Him to do what is best for us every day, without exception.
Untrained believers may never experience confidence in God because trust grows out of knowledge. If you desire to walk by faith, find a Bible-teaching church or mentor committed to instructing Christians about the ways of God.
