I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED (2017 REWIND)

I'm glad it happened. I don't mean the ups. Of course, I'm glad about it. I mean all the downs. I'm glad it happened.

I'm glad, I was in Nordhausen before I'm accepted in Hannover. Before I came to Germany, God told me to take my college (Studienkolleg) in Hannover. But the semester in Hannover is later than other colleges. That's why I took another test in Nordhausen in January. I was accepted, but I know that's  not where I should be. However, I moved there and still took the test in Hannover in March.

This is the point. I was so stupid, that I didn't believe what God said before. But trough my stupidity, He made a great story. There is a rule in Hannover, that said, that when someone is already registered in another college, he can't be accepted here. I didn't know that at all until I saw the announcement of acceptance on the website. There are so many applicants that declined because they are already registered in other cities. It is clearly on the website written.

I was registered too. How could it be when it wasn't Him? We say coincidence every time we don't know how something thus random happens. But I'm telling you, God is real. I might know that God's already told me about Hannover, but not the others. If I had said you, you might say that I'm crazy. But through this, you can see it. He took me there, where He's said before, in spite of the rule and my disobedience, to show that He is faithful and limitless. He is faithful, whatever you've done. He is faithful, even when you think He isn't. He really means what He said. And He is limitless. There is a rule and I passed through it. I have searched for a method,  how it could be happened, but I didn't find. There is no method. But there is a limitless God. No matter how difficult your condition is, you can always ask Him for help. Nothing is too difficult for Him.

And why should I come to Hannover? At the beginning, I don't know too. But then I met a girl, who got to know Jesus after we witnessed together how God amazingly released us from a difficult time. We saw God's hand that arranged things that you may call as coincidence. We are glad it happened, what had to happen.

Not only that, I have to say too that I'm really thankful that I am here. I found a church where I can grow. As I was still in Nordhausen, the bus operates at 10, the church starts at 10 too, and it took 30 minutes from my room to the church. The church service is only 45 minutes until 1 hour. Great. I found here some really good friends. I did an internship in a hospital. I was in an anatomy class in Göttingen with my course, where I could see and dissect heart (of pig, that is similar to ours) for the first time. If I wasn't here, I couldn't experience that.

Yeah, I'm glad too that I was in difficulty as I didn't found any room to rent. Because then God showed me that He is Jehovah Jireh, God who provides. My friend (who's met me only for 1 time before) gave me her apartment for free for one month. As I asked her, why she would do that, she ónly said that she felt that she should do that. You can't say that it was coincidental. In that month, we prayed so that someone rents her apartment for the next month, and it happened. That might be a door to blessing for her. Who knows. And she is now like a sister to me. I didn't only get a room, I get a sister.

I'm glad that I had to move to Hannover otherwise I would have done an internship not in a hospital but in a nursing home. I was going to do that as I was still in Nordhausen. It's not bad at all, but as I moved here I found out that it can't be counted as the medical mandatory internship. I would've wasted my time and energy.

I'm glad that I was too late sending my application for my internship. I sent it about a month before and the normal time to apply is 3 months before. Until a week before the day I want to begin, I didn't get any acceptance. And I'm glad that I didn't have any hope anymore at that point, because then I know, not my work that gave me that place, but my God.

I'm glad that my score wasn't perfect so that I know as I was invited to the interview for medical study, I knew that it was a miracle. I'm glad that as I got the message that I'm still on the waiting list for medical study, I got an email about my new internship too. At this point, God closed one door but at the same time opened another. He made sure that I don't lose my hope. I always say that He kept me from heart attack hahaha.

Yeah I'm glad that I am not directly accepted. Because of what? I don't know exactly yet, but one thing I know from my whole story from last year: He is going to make an exciting story out of that so that we know that He is behind the story.

And do you know why all of these things have to happen? He wants that you get to know Him. He makes stories in people's lives to show His glory, to show that He is there. He wants to have a relationship with you, not only with me. He has a special plan in your life too. He came to this world 2018 years ago to reconcile His relation with us. He humiliated himself and died on the cross as a sacrifice to pay our sin. But the story wasn't finished at that point. He has risen. He has conquered the death because the grave couldn't hold Him. Nothing can hold Him for loving us. Not our sin. Not our past. The question is: Will you open your heart?
