faith CAN move mountains (and Universities)

Thanks you for your prayers concerning my youngest son's tuition needs. I received a letter today from Drexel University! Based upon his excellent grades, and financial need, they have decided to give him an additional $4000! Added to the $2000 scholarship, the balance owed is $580 to be paid by July 1st..even we can all manage that by pooling our family's resources. A mere few weeks ago we were faced with wondering how we were going to find over $6000 that nobody had! Prayer is a very powerful thing indeed and all the thanks and praise goes to the Lord Almighty for providing the means for Michael to stay in school! Now he can continue his education, his informal bible study classes, and his two jobs, LOL..he needs them to pay his rent and groceries and buy books, etc. BTW, some folks had asked what his major is via e-mail...he will graduate with a major in International Business Studies with a minor in Mandarin Chinese..he plans on being an independent peace negotiator among countries..the world sure could use a few more of those I think. Again, many thanks for all of your prayers..he is a very hard working young man, and I am so thrilled that he is able to remain at the university where he is excelling. God bless.
