decision making, and trusting pt 1

Well another semester is done. I have never worked so hard in my life, and next semester will be the same. In May I will have my Associate of Arts degree, a first for my family. This is something I am very, very proud of. Yet I will not be stopping there. I will be furthering my education at one of two places. Here are my choices:

Option A

This is my dream. I have grown up a NC State fan, following after my dad who never took part in the Duke/UNC rivalry in my family. I have worked my tail off all semester to be a candidate for transfer to this fine school. I am happy to say I have already received a conditional acceptance, meaning if I keep my grades up and get my A.A degree I am in! But just in case, I have applied at one more school.

Option B

ECU is a wonderful school and is number two on my list. If anything is to happen to where I can not go to NC State, this is my safety net. I have one of my best friends there right now. Its a beautiful campus, and a place where I could see myself going to learn and get my degree.

I do miss Raleigh, my friends, I miss my church SO much! I can’t wait to be back home there!!. Some of you may be asking, Why are you going to a secular school? Why not go to a “Christian” college?( That is almost laughable) Well there is a short answer and a long answer. Short answer, it is not for me, “Christian” college that is. I went to SEBTS last spring. Amazing school that is preparing men and women to share the Gospel to the nations, including this nation. I learned so much and I am very thankful for what I learned and the friendships I built there. It just was not for me. Will I go to Seminary one day? Maybe. Do I think it is beneficial to my growth in Christ? Sure. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. I have grown so much in the past 6 months under my mentor then I have in my entire spiritual life. I’m not going to go into the long answer tonight, maybe another blog. Anyways this is where I am at right now. Seeing God move. I must say I am itching to see whats next . I ask for your prayers. Pray that the Father of Mercy and Grace would put me where I need to be.
