What a Week
I have been thinking and praying over what I was going to write for the last couple days. The week started off really good as it always has. I had the nervousness and anticipation on my application to seminary school and the concern about my wife and our homeschooling adventure.
Well as you read this week, come Wednesday I had initially heard back from the school telling me that I had not known my pastor long enough for his reference to be taken into account for my admission. I talked to Pastor Greg and he gave a call to the admissions board at the school where he was notified that they would contact me with further instructions. Well those further instructions were that I had not been a Christian for at least a year therefore I did not meet the admission criteria. That really crushed my hopes for a brief time and I had actually thought about writing out this long essay to the school board trying to fight my case, but it was going to be an argumentative type essay. My wife reminded me that my actions would have been of the FLESH and not from the heart and not glorifying to GOD. To strengthen this my pastor had sent me a message that helped to reinforce this standpoint, so I held off on sending the essay. Boy am I glad I did, instead of writing an essay I did some research on the internet and found another College that will accept me with the same curriculum that I was looking at with Moody. So right now I am just waiting on a response from their admissions board, but I have faith that this will completely work out.
Another one of our issues this week was the lack of resources for the path that we had chosen to home school our children. It was quickly brought to our attention that having only one computer in the house was just not going to work, our daughter needs constant supervision while she is doing the work on the computer. I started to look at computers on line and was ready to put another bill on the table when my wife notified me that our biggest supporter had come through again. We were given a gift of love from my mother-in-law in the form of a brand new computer, which will make the whole prospect of homeschooling much easier on my wife and myself. This just once again proves that if you put everything on the alter and let your decisions be guided by God everything will work out. For myself, I find that I am doing this more often, there is hardly a decision that I make where I don’t pray on it long and hard first. Prayer is such an easy thing to do that many people just don’t make time for, this I can’t understand. Thank you for reading, and God Bless.
