SOLONG'S FAITH

I gave blood on Friday. A lovely woman named Solong sampled my blood to insure that I had enough iron. We struck up a conversation, and it turns out she is a Christian. She told me that in 2006 she felt God calling her to go back to school. She didn't have enough money to go, but she trusted God, and somehow every time she thinks she isn't going to be able to pay her tuition or rent, God provides the money. She has finished her master's degree, and when I left the interview room, one of the other workers said, "We are proud of Solong. She's going to be a doctor."

Solong didn't let fear possess her. She found the authority of Christ leading her. Are we willing to bow to the authority of Jesus?
