That Long Awaited Call

Today that call came about lunch time. You know those kind of calls. The ones that you have been waiting for since you started the application process. Yes, I am talking about the calling saying that I have been accepted to my dream school. The call saying that I was going to be a Liberty University student. That was the kind of call I received today. I don't think I'll ever forget that call!

We had just started our ladies meeting and my phone starts to vibrate. I see that it says LU Admissions, and I get up to answer it. I was told that I had been accepted to LU and was this a good time to talk about what I had left to accomplish before the fall. We went over everything that was needed, and I actually had all the information that I was given over the phone at home. They basically went through everything that was needed in the final two steps of the admissions process. I would say we talked for about ten minutes, and then the call ended. I was so happy and relieved! I had been praying daily for that acceptance whatever and today I got that! It is a happiness that I don't think goes away! Ironically enough I had chosen to wear a LU shirt to Bible Study this morning, and I thought it was so neat that I was told I had been accepted while wearing that shirt. I know it seems silly, but I don't want to forget any little detail!! :)

At this point, I am working on financial stuff and getting everything finalized. We are working on how we are going to afford it, and how everything is going to play out. We are fully trusting that God is going to take care of everything and that we need to just place it in his hands and leave it at that. I know for certain that the peace that I feel with the decision about LU is from the Lord, and He is teaching me day after day to trust Him and let him take care of it. NOTHING is too big for our God. I do have the peace that passing all understanding, because when I first made the decision to pursue Liberty, I didn't know how everything was going to play out, but I knew that God would take care of it, and all along the way he has. I wasn't expecting that $16,000 scholarship, but the Lord saw fit to give me it. I wasn't expecting to be accepted this early in January but I was. It is just the little things that I see God working in.

I would appreciate it if you would join with me in praying for some very specific things:
1. Finances
2. Course load. I have not had this much of a course load ever.  Please pray that I will be able to handle it and be able to get good grades.
3. Adjusting to college life

I really appreciate all those who have prayed for me in this whole college process. I am grateful to everyone that has congratulated me on getting accepted! THANK YOU!!!
