I Relent!

OK! So I knew it was coming. Moment to moment and conversation to conversation the theme was there.

It started about a year ago when a nemisis of mine was used by God to make a statement that changed my life. He said, 'A degree is simply to open doors. We go so far and then we hit a locked door. A degree is the key which opens it'. I buried that advice in my heart and let it sit there.

Eight months later I'm approached by our interim pastor who told me about the gifts that God has given me and implored me to go to school. 'This will be a subject that I'll be bringing up as long as you know me. It is so important for you.' he said.

Then i received a donation of a TV for our youth house about 2 weeks ago. The donor helped me move it into the house and then stood with me on the front porch and said, 'You need to consider an education - God's got a great plan for you and it will only help you move forward.'

At that moment i felt like the world stopped spinning, the voice stopped speaking, the lizards stopped slithering and i looked to the heavens and screamed:

"ALRIGHT ALREADY! I'LL GO! I'LL DO IT! I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME AND I'LL DO IT! EVEN IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PAY FOR IT OR WHERE TO GO OR WHAT DEGREE TO GET! I HEAR YOU AND I'LL ACT!"

So, now i move forward. I will be starting something within the next two months. I've found some good options for me fairly close by and will keep you informed as i move forward. Please pray that i pick the right major and that God enables me to balance work, school and family in a way which honors Him. I covet your prayers and words of encouragement. Thank you!
