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!
