"But seek first His Kingdom..."  This is an awesome testimony of the ways that God 'adds to' our lives when we just make Jesus the priority.  Way to glorify Him, Kenny Jr.!

From Kenny:

Kenny Jr. had a huge test in college. He studied and studied but there was an enormous amount of information that would be covered in this 3 hour exam. On Easter Sunday the website they use to study was down and the big exam was on Monday afternoon. Monday morning he is on his way to study group and feels compelled to pull in to the Christian bookstore so he does. He's looking at some christian shirts and finds himself thinking that these are all too bold with really big JESUS on the front instead of smaller letters or blended in fonts etc. As he is looking for a less conspicuous christian shirt the Lord calls him out on it. So he buys the boldest biggest JESUS shirt they have. On the back of the shirt it says something like "in 32 countries you can be arrested for wearing this shirt, in 28 countries you can be jailed, in 15 countries you can be killed" etc. I don't know word for word or the numbers but that is the gist of it. He arrives at study group wearing the shirt and it becomes the topic of conversation within the group rather than the study material. A lot of good seed was planted in the study group that day. They choose Kenny Jr. to read the 3x5 cards to the group and ask questions which he did. It was 3 hours of information. They all go straight to class and begin taking the test. He quickly realizes that as he was reading the 3x5 cards to the group he totally memorized everything. It takes him 45 minutes to finish the 3 hour test and when he got up to turn it in the class had a small uproar about him finishing so quickly. The professor asked him if he was double dog sure he finished everything and reiterated he had another 2 hours and 15 minutes if he needed it. Kenny Jr. assured him that everything was answered and he was confident in his answers. The professor flipped through his exam and said "OK it looks like you answered everything are you sureyou didn't guess on any of it?" No guessing, I got it. "Nice shirt by the way". He hasn't got the grade back yet but he is confident in an A if not 100. Praise God.
