We see the light at the end it's SHINING

In my last post I sent out a plead for help for my son Shine who needed some help with staying in college. I'm very pleased to report the GOD is working a miracle and he has once again shown himself true to his name JEHOVAH JIREH. Although Shine's total dept has not been diminished it is certainly a major difference from yesterday. Shine now owes only $2,767.50 and we are seeing God work things out for him so he is able to stay in college. Honestly for me it was a bit of a scare and all I can do was lift up prayers and send out pleads for help. I must say thank you Jesus for coming through once again. Well people be encouraged when it seems there is no way out GOD always somehow provides a "ram in the thicket" like he did for Abraham. Sometimes GOD likes to test our faith to see how much we truly trust and believe in him. All things work for the GOOD to those who love him and are called according to his purpose.

GOD BLESS!!!!!

Waiting for an answer

Well last couple of days have been a bit discouraging because I my son Shine just told me that the college he just got accepted into told him he may have to leave by Friday if he doesn't come up with 6 grand. Yeah that's right $6,000. I've been sending emails out to people I know but I haven't seen anything happen yet, so we are just waiting and praying to see what God will do. Please keep Shine in your prayers. Here's a letter for help written by Shine below.

9/9/09

Today is Wednesday Sept. 9TH 2009, and I am 2 days away from my tuition payment deadline.As my last e-mail stated that I owe a balance of $2,767.50, it recently increased
to an estimated $6,000 due to the fact that my HESC-TAP(Tuition Assistance Program) did not clear yet as I so desperately hoped it would.I found this out at my meeting with my financial aid counselor yesterday as he was explaining to me that my balance has jumped due to my pending TAP.I have another meeting with my financial aid counselor today @ 2:00 pm to discuss the issue at hand.My foster Care agency ''SCO- family of services'',is trying to help by getting me into a program called the bulletin 17 which pays off my room and board for the school year.Unfortunately, due to the late timing, my deadline date,and my 21st birthday which happens to be at the last day of this month, it is not promising that I get into this program nor receive the money before my due date.So I am asking and praying that the Lord will provide a way.I am really interested and looking forward to attending my 1st yr of college at Nyack because I believe that it actual offers me 3 key elements.
First, let me start by saying that it has the proper environment to enhance my relationship with my Lord and savior.Nyack college is a well-known Christian college that not only focuses on students receiving degrees,but it also helps build the relationship between us and the living God.We as students get to experience a deeper walk with Christ because of the type of environment provided by Nyack College.I am anticipating a more matured relationship with Christ and I believe that Nyack can offer one of the many settings needed to achieve that.Second, i can also receive the proper education and begin to work on my future career due to the many fields of majors offered by the school.And finally, since it has the option of commuting or being on campus (I am on campus),students on campus get a more independent feel and are likely to mature into the adults that we are called to be.
Being here at Nyack College has been a great opportunity that i would love to experience .So i am praying and trusting that a way shall be provided for me if i just believe and have faith that its coming.

Once again, thanks for your time and prayers.

SHINE, Shykeen Delaney

Ok I sent out the message to some people from New Life who know Shine and a few others. So hopefully we will get some help. In the meantime pray together and get some of your fellow buddies in the dorm to pray with both as well.

Shykeen Delaney a.k.a. Shine- Yes, I am finally all settled into the dorms at Nyack College, I have my classes ready and set for the semester. School officially starts Wednesday September 9Th,and I'm extremely Happy to be meeting my teachers and experiencing the assignments that rests in the future.Unfortunately, an obstacle has stumbled across my path.I am prepared in all areas of qualification for the school except being financially stable.tuition has been paid off from $ 27,000 ,leaving me with a $2.767.50 bill that i owe to the school before Friday. I was told that if i cant provide the money then i will be forced to leave the campus this upcoming Friday.The agency is trying to pay the balance but
since I turn 21 on September 30Th ,i will be viewed as an adult forcing me to age out of care.Please help me find a solution to this issue ,I would really love to start this year so any help will be highly appreciated.

thanks for your time.



LAST BUT NOT LEAST HERE IS MY MOST RECENT PLEAD I sent through email
Hello

I hope your doing fine.

You may or may not know but by a great miracle my son Shine a.k.a. Shykeen Delaney was excepted into Nyack College after years of growing up in foster care and battling with being in a gang he has now surrendered his life to Christ. He's really trying to make an effort to change his life and I'm really proud of him. Unfortunately he is facing a huge financial obstacle and that's why I'm writing to you in hopes that not only will you pray but that if you are able and willing with God's help to give a financial blessing. Shine explains his need below in the email and I pray that you will somehow be able to assist and also send it to friends you know who may be able to assist. Thank You!

If anyone is able to assist please contact us asap with any assistance you may be able to give. Please keep Shine in your prayers. Thank You!!!!!!

Blue Nose Pups

My son JD2 with 2 Blue Nose Pit Bull puppies. JD2 loves dogs and he was really excited to handle the pups today. Anyone who wishes to purchase a puppy can contact me at 718 316 3175. True Dynasty Kennel.

Dogs are a great form of therapy for many people especially children in foster care. Studies show that dogs literally can help you to have a
healthy heart.
