Here we go!

I love this. From the Amplified Version of the Bible.

For my dertermined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquanted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly. ~ Philippians 3:10

I am embarking on a great journey. Every day keeping my eyes wide open for direction and wisdom. In a few short weeks I will start classes at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. I will be working toward a Master of Divinity.

At the beginning of June, after many conversations with incredible friends, I applied to PTS. Not sure if I would take classes part-time or full-time I left that answer to God. I didn't tell many others so I wouldn't have to tell them I changed my mind or they didn't accept my application. My mum took care of that. She told all kinds of family and friends.
The middle of July came and it was confirmed that I will be unemployed and a full-time student. YAY!!!! I have dreamed of this. And to finally be taking these steps is an amazing feeling.
More on my journey soon!

Answers to the question 'WHY'

Are you a big 'why' asker? I feel like I have asked the question a lot in the last several years.



(From me to God)

Why am I here? Why did this happen? Why did that happen? Why has nothing happened?



And from there more questions are born.



(More from me to God)

When will something happen? Are you going to answer me? What am I doing? Can you just answer me already? Was that really necessary for me to go through? What next? Seriously?



Then when the answer finally comes you're a little afraid of it.



(God speaking)

No. Wait. That is not pleasing to me. It's my plan not yours.



Which means you have to trust that God will provide for you because you're walking in His purpose.
