That is so like the God I serve and follow, working in the background, preparing that which is important so that His people will have what they need.
I thought through my life. G raduating from college I turned down a good job for grad school in engineering. During those two years I met and fell in love with my wife. God working in the background…
I completed my MS in engineering, was married and headed off to seminary. My MS thesis was published by my advisor’s PhD student and was voted the best welding article of the year with a $150 prize.

You are a great and marvelous God and I love You. Thank You. Through Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
