I set apart a day or so last week to decide where I was going to go, what I was going to do, and I surrendered it to the Lord.
I knew that I was at a crossroads, for I had three or four options for the coming year: I could continue living in the house I'm living in now (HAUS), go to South Korea for a year to teach English and travel and save money for grad school, or I could go to Chicago to begin training for my life's calling.
After a surprisingly short time, God showed me that I had not been yielding to Him or trusting Him at all for my financial situation.
So here's the current plan: I'm going to Chicago to start training in Chicago. I've looked a bit at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Trinity in the Chicago area is the one that I'm planning to attend in the fall, and I hope to get some sweet summer jobs out of doors, and I hear that there are some sweet pay available there. We'll see what happens.
I'd like to earn enough to get a moped, especially a Vespa. That would allow me to get to the train station with almost no gas. I'd need to refill far less often, and how cool would that be to have a moped? No, that's a side idea.
The main thing is to try to get through grad school with as few loans as possible. I'm going to write a letter to several members of my church back home asking for financial support because Trinity doesn't offer as much as I'd thought.
That's all for now...more soon.
Faith, Hope, and Love.
