College Application Crunch

It is crunch time.

Meredith is working hard on getting her college applications completed in the next month.

She has started by getting her essays written

and narrowing her list of options.

She is still bombarded daily with mailings and emails from institutions everywhere

...but she is focused.

Her top choices remain Baylor Univeristy in Texas

{this is the cute screen that popped up when she set up her online account for admissions}

and Covenant College in Georgia

{just yesterday a young representative from Covenant called while she was writing her testimony}

The Psalms have been a good place to seek wisdom and comfort through this process!

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him,

and He shall bring it to pass....Rest in the Lord, 

and wait patiently for Him

--Psalm 37:4,7

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you and watch over you.

--Psalm 32:8

Who is the man who fears the Lord?

He will instruct him in the way he should choose.

--Psalm 25:12

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

-Psalm 37:23


Something amazing is happening, too!  This journey has slowly begun to change my heart from one filled with fear and worry....."How am I EVER going to send my child off to college".

to......."Look at what the Lord is doing in her life.  Look at the call He has placed in her heart to work with neonates.  Look at how He has prepared her not only for more education, but for independence and a new chapter, too!?  Look at the exciting times that lie ahead for her!"

Truly.  This mama is beginning to see a glimpse of what all the years of
training and helping and equipping and preparing have been for.

COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD
TRUST ALSO IN HIM
AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASS.
