If you had told me 2 years ago that I would be contemplating going back to school or not, I would have looked at you as if you were nuts. I am not a fan of school, nor have I EVER been a fan of school. I have always been jealous of the people who love it and naturally excel in school. Some people could be students for the rest of their lives. 2 years ago, in the middle of my 4th semester of college, I made the decision of dropping out of school. During that time, I had so many things going on and school was not a priority. At that point in my life, I have already chose to follow my calling into ministry but I did not feel at that point, school was a necessity.
Now, 2 years later, I am researching, praying and focusing on trying to further my education. I always thought that I would go back to school, but never this soon. I am looking at completing a degree through online courses. There are no school in my area that have ministry degrees and I do not feel as if God is calling me to pick up and leave Hartsville or my job. Working as a Program Ministry Director is giving me so much experience and opportunity. I know that is where God wants me to be so online classes is the only possible way for me to further my schooling. I feel that furthering my education is almost a necessity for me to fully answer my calling into ministry. I believe that proper training and education will give me the tools and knowledge I need in order to fulfill. I am doing a lot of research and prayerfully considering where God wants me to continue my education.
Once again, God has completely paved a new road for me that I would never have thought my life would go. As I previously said, if you had told me 2 years ago that I would be considering going back to school, I would have looked at you as if you had lost it. God is always surprising me and keeping me on my toes :)
Bring on the homework, studying, and papers...I am ready!
Awesome that you're continuing on. I hear you..God called me back to school this semester too...and sometimes I'm doing homework and thinking, "What are you doing God, I'm so done with this!!" But he called me to it...gotta do it!
