God is awesome

God has definitely been leading my decision into which university I should go to. The last 4-5 month have been hectic and strenuous at times as I had some really big decisions come up about which school I was going to attend. It all began back in December when I was applying to WSU I began thinking about how nice it would be to live closer to home and began to reconsider UW. So I applied and was accepted to both schools. Now the decision process began. Relooking at things we began to remember the reasons we liked WSU better to begin with: UW has an extremely difficult acceptance into the 2nd year of the program (as in one in three get in). And then my fafsa (financial aid) from UW came in from UW and it didn’t look pretty so things weren’t looking good for UW.
Then dad and I took a trip to UW to talk with advisers there (we talked with WSU last summer). There we realized that even if I took one year at UW I might be able to switch/apply to more than one school for my second year which might ease up some of the stress about having not getting into the second year of the program. After that we began looking at the actual costs o living on campus and realized I could get a triple room instead of a double and buy some meals at the grocery store instead of at the cafeteria to save on money. Then on top of that Fafsa came back from WSU looking even worse than UW. So it seamed very clear that this was how God was directing me.
Now believe me this was just an over view and there were WAY more details I left out. There were so many ups and downs on this trip to deciding which college and I wish I could say I was patiently waiting on God through them all but I must confess that I got really stressed a lot these last 5 months. But now I look back and I’m so thankful for how faithful God was.
BTW I bought the sandstone colored tee-shirt (see post bellow).
