I am so excited that you have started this endeavor! In 2006, my husband started his Th.M. (4 years Master's program of Ministry) via online classes, and in 2008 we moved from Alaska to Texas for him to attend fulltime, this fall he started going part-time. I want to encourage you to take your time. We have seen quite a few people whip in and out of here in 3 years with debt just to get through a 120-hour program! If it has been a while since you've done any schooling the graduate level courses can be daunting, don't feel bad if you feel a little overwhelmed at first. And most importantly, trust that God will provide a way. We had a particularly hard year and I cannot even tell you where or how the funds came in, but to credit God's provision! Even now when I try to even the numbers out of what came in and what went out, I simply cannot do it, it does not equal out! I will add you to my prayers, truly hoping that you have a wonderful, and uplifting time of studies, and that your family will also be learning from you by both words and deeds.Foolish Feathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264092499996106855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069492343885999615.post-69788956790133423682011-12-20T11:55:15.178-05:002011-12-20T11:55:15.178-05:00I am a follower of your quilt blog and am thrilled...I am a follower of your quilt blog and am thrilled to see that you are following God's direction in pursing your Masters degrees. It is an exciting path that God leads us on and your obedience will be a blessing to you and others. My prayers for you and your family as you begin this new adventure.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349245432064792320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069492343885999615.post-33198100106030128002011-12-20T09:05:38.373-05:002011-12-20T09:05:38.373-05:00I started following your quilting blog not knowing...I started following your quilting blog not knowing that God would lead me here, to your seminary travels. I am very excited for you. My son began seminary this fall and will spend the spring as a missionary in a third world country. You are so right - God called you but it affects everyone you love. God will honor your leap of faith. Remember that in the darkest of night when the tuition is due. He did not call the prepared, he prepares the called.<br />Best of luck.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069492343885999615.post-24369578292506942422011-12-20T07:50:33.826-05:002011-12-20T07:50:33.826-05:00I will start praying immediately.

I rarely give without first asking the Lord's guidance. I will not close this post until I have an answer so as to keep in the forefront of my prayer life.Rhonda the Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381491345256616685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069492343885999615.post-65533790776828790522011-11-18T11:56:51.571-05:002011-11-18T11:56:51.571-05:00Hi Paul, I want you to know that I am praying for ...Hi Paul, I want you to know that I am praying for you and for your family.
