Well ever since fourth grade I had decided that Point Loma Nazarene University was the one for me. I dreamed about living there. I loved the idea of being surrounded by the ocean. I loved that Amy went there. I was absolutely certain that that was going to be the school for me. So naturally it was my senior year and I was ecstatic to finally be applying to my dream school. I applied and visited for the third time. Then I waited. I got letters from all of the other schools I applied to, congratulating me on my acceptance, but still not one from Loma. Finally I got that letter over Christmas break! And I was accepted. So I naturally began to put everything into place and get everything worked out for being a PLNU student.
I was offered a huge scholarship from Olivet Nazarene University. I completely rejected it, trusting my admissions counselor from Loma assuring me that I would most likely receive more than that from Point Loma. And I did. And I was always planning on going to Point Loma, so whatever Olivet.
But God didn't let Olivet go and neither could I.
After a lot of prayer and definitely feeling God pulling me in this direction, I have decided that I will be attempting to go to Olivet this year. I say attempting because of course I still have to talk with the administration at Olivet but I am confident that God has paved the path ahead of me and it will be smooth and easy to accomplish. So tomorrow morning I will be making some big phone calls. And I will need big prayers.
Because what I am doing is a leap of complete and utter faith. There is no other way to describe it. I am following my heart because I believe that what is in there is from God and God alone.
Necessary steps to be taken to complete leap of faith:
1. Tell my parents- done
2. Call Olivet- done
3. Figure out what needs to be done- done
4. Arrange a visit- done
5. Tell Point Loma that I've changed my mind- done!
6. Make the move- done!!
Please, please, please, pray for me.
Jeremiah 29:11
