Progress and Prayers

For the last couple of weeks my life has held a normal routine: wake-up, get ready for school, attend classes, eat lunch, do homework, go jogging, eat dinner, more homework, then head to bed. Although it may seem that my life has been full of dull emotionless routines, that is far from the truth. Within these  weeks God has given me many incredible experiences and opportunities and has answered countless heartfelt prayers.
Although I am still not through with my journey towards college, I am a lot closer than I was previously. On March 26th  I completed my application process interview for College of the Ozarks finishing my application. A short while later I received a letter informing me that the school was full for both the upcoming fall and spring semesters. Although I was and still am disappointed, this is exactly what I was praying for. The very morning I received the letter I recall praying earnestly, asking the Lord to clearly show me where he wanted me to go. He was faithful and has done so.
Therefore, I am plowing ahead with my process for admission to Southern Nazarene University and things are going well .

Around a month ago I received word that the sum of my financial aid and scholarships may be enough to help me receive my Bachelors degree without going into debt!!  This makes SNU a rather possible option. Still though, I feel the need to wait and pray for direction. Even though one door (College of the Ozarks) appears to be closed, God may yet open it again or show me a different direction for my life.

As I look forward to my college graduation on May 9th, I also anticipate my highschool graduation on May 12th. For the past two weeks Elsie and I have spent many hours planning, taking, and editing my senior pictures. Although it has been a neat and sweet experience, it also has been challenging and emotional. God is faithful though and is helping me to overcome the final hurdles of highschool. This is not the end though. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I continue to wait and pray for direction in my college process. Please remember me as well as I continue my college level course this semester, that I will find favor in my teachers and that it will go smooth and well. Thank you for all of your support, love and prayers! May the Lord richly bless you all!!
