Faith

So I just ordered the rest of the books I will need for the classes I registered for in my graduate program. It was painful, especially when I think about the fact that I already own 9 of the books I will need and yet still had to order all of these:

The other scary thing is that I still have no idea if I am receiving any type of scholarship and I don't know for sure if I am going to live on-campus full time or take the summer correspondence program. I realized though that I have to do something because I will have reading assignments due the first part of April so I better get to reading. It is very difficult for me to just step out in faith trusting that God will move me through the next steps. I figured either way I will need the books, and I am excited about digging into them. If you are reading this, please pray for me that I will be able to make a decision soon and that all the necessary items will fall into place so that I can make a wise and confident decision. I will keep you posted...literally:)
