I’d like to share with you a few blessings that have come my way recently.

1. Scholarship money

First off, I got a letter in my PO box here at school yesterday informing me that I was one of the recipients of a small amount of scholarship money. The letter from Dr. Lawson reads:

…

Mr. Donald Meagley, a longtime friend of the University and now deceased, left an endowment to the University. The annual income from this endowment is specifically designated for young men and women from Division of Music who have good keyboard skills, a financial need, and evidence the desire to use their keyboard skills in some way in the Lord’s work.

The music faculty and the University administration jointly choose the recipients for this scholarship fund, and I am happy to inform you that you have been selected to have the amount of $360 applied to your current school account. We rejoice with you that the Lord has provided this special gift to help you with your college expenses.

…

While that is not an overwhelming amount of money, it is still a great blessing and I am very thankful for it.

2. Uncrowded room

If you’re scratching your head about that one, let me explain. This week at BJU is “AACS Week.” About 2,000 high-schoolers and adult sponsors come for a few days of Fine Arts competitions. This means that all dorm students should be expecting to have visitors in their rooms. But somehow, my entire hall does not have any visitors in the rooms (incredible!). What’s more, one of my roommates is on “cuts” this entire week, so there’s actually one less person in the room (3 instead of 4 when we could have easily had 6).

3. Day of Rest

Ok, so this wasn’t actually “unexpected,” but it is still a blessing. With the coming of AACS week, classes are cancelled today (Wednesday). This means that I actually got to sleep in! Whoo hoo! Maybe I can actually get some stuff done today . . . think of it!

These three items of praise have been particularly refreshing for me. All I can do is thank the Lord. As my friend Josh says . . . “What a blessing!”
