Found: my school records

by Huguette Mutombo Lubumbashi,—Democratic Republic of Congo

I attended a high school for one year, and then left without obtaining a copy of my transcript. The following year I attended a different school and was told I could not continue my second year of studies there until I got a copy of my official school records from the previous school.

The other students said it wasn't going to be easy to get a transcript from my old school, because the principal was mean and was known to demand money for favors like this. They also said the school often lost students' files. But I knew that the principal could only do what God told him to do. And also, I knew that God keeps everything safe and in order. Nothing can really be lost.

One day, I decided to go to the school and get my transcript. But before I left, I studied the Bible and Science and Health. Then I presented myself at the office of the principal. Contrary to what others had said about him, he received me very well. All he asked was that I bring in my report card to confirm I had studied at the school.

When I got home, I prayed, thinking that we all reflect God's order. Then I found my report card. The next day all my records were given to me without any complications. I was very happy that the principal was honest with me and that he found my records.
