Many of you know that while the past year has been one of the best years of our lives it has also been one of the most difficult.
We went in the direction God was leading us though many of our friends and even our family were at the least very leery of our decisions. God lead us to do the things we did for many reasons. And we dont regret anything that has happened. It has matured us, made us stronger people, and drawn us closer to God and each other.
That being said, more recently we knew that we werent in the right place in God's eyes. But we didnt know where the right place was.
After lots of prayer, fear, and learning yet again how good God's plans really are we have finally figured out where God is leading us.
Back to school. More specifically the very school I swore I would never get my degree from.
Taylor Upland.
This has been difficult for us both. It is the exact opposite of what always wanted. I wanted big town - teeny school. God is giving us small town - big school (big at least compared to what i wanted anyway)
Attending this school means several things for us. Perhaps the biggest one being that it means moving.
We will be moving down there towards the end of April / beginning of May as that is when our lease here in Fort Wayne is up. I have already been to several places down there and i am making progress as to finding a place. (Prayers are appreciated)
We would live on campus but have decided not to for several reasons. The main one being that we have a dog.
Clint and I discussed it though and we do believe that even if we didnt have Gabe we would live off campus because being a bit "older" and such our priorities are a bit different this time around. Neither of us were the best students in our past college career. That is going to change. We are both bound and determined to get the best grades we can get. It is a much higher priority then it was the first time around.
Speaking of academics you might be curious as to our decisions as far as majors and the like. They have changed.
For Clint it was a bit easier. He was a youth ministry major at TUFW but that major is not offered at TU. But because youth ministry is still his passion he figures the most logical thing to do is to still do something ministry related.
So he is majoring in Biblical Literature and minoring in Youth ministry and Philosophy
For me the decision was a bit harder. My major at TUFW was professional writing and i was working on changing it to counseling when the school announced it's closing.
Initially i still felt God was leading me to do something in the counseling and psychology area. but the more i thought and prayed about it i realized that was not God's will. I had to remind myself to look at the big picture to figure out exactly what to major in.
The conclusion i came to was this:
I might not know much about the future but i know one thing. I will always be involved in some sort of ministry.
So as silly as it might sound I too, am majoring in Biblical Literature. But my minors will be in Psychology and Art.
There are a lot of things still up in the air but keeps on doing little things to reassure us that we are on the right track.
will let you all know more about the adventure as we know.
