Todays progress, and talking to JBC

Ok so today i spent a good portion of it talking on the phone to JBC, mainly the administration office, and the financial aid office. I can't help but give them a little plug, they were very helpful and understanding. They answered all of my questions, and even gave me some info on things that i hadn't thought of. Ever time i research JBC and ind out information on it, it reassures me that JBC is the college for me, and no im not dissing the other Bible Colleges out there, they are amazing colleges....its just that JBC appeals to me. I learned that it will cost me about $7,575 for the fall semester, and $7,540 for the spring semester. Not as bad as i thought it might be, but still alot of money, but the good thing is that there is alot of options for financial aid, and scholarships, and for grants. Im not worried about paying for it, that will all be taken care of in time. I have decided that i want to attend JBC in the fall and get this moving. I am so excited to see God moving in me, and what is going on at Pinedale, which by the way you need to check out SOMA it is awesome. I am gettign help form alot of people and most importantly my parents are behind me 110%, not that they weren't before its just nice knowing that they, along with my church and friends are all behind me :). I spent an hour this morning walking up and down my street, about a 2-2 1/2 mile stretch just with me and God, praying and worshiping him, and man that was the best time i have had in a long time. There is amazing power in alone time with God. Its amazing how fast this whole process is going, before i know it, it will be the fall semester, then the spring semester then year 2,3 and 4 will go by and il be graduating and God will be working through me to effect someone. I do pray that through all of this i can effect, even if it is just one person, and show them that if you let him God can do great things through you and anything is possible. I just have to remember that this is all for God, and that al the praise is for him...I do constantly praise him for calling me to be a youth minister, and for giving me the wisdom to ask the right questions and to be able to praise him. I also played a little phone tag with Jon, and he called me and we, by we i mean Jon, Shawn, Katie and I, are going to have a lunch meeting tomorrow to talk about youth ministry and what to expect at the bible college and what to expect as a youth minister. Im also thinking of asking Bryan and Kristen if i can help out on tour this year, to get to spend some time with the Five and Two group before i head off to bible college in the fall.

If you want to know what you can do.....well pray for me, everyone is being so helpful and awesome to me, thank you all so much.

i want to leave you with a song that is personal to me, and really touched me on my walk this morning.

I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice
To worship you, Oh my soul rejoice!
Take joy, my King, in what you hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

I love you, Lord, and I lift my hands
To worship you as my soul demands
Take joy, my King, in what you see
May I be a sweet, sweet child on your knee

I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice
To worship you, Oh my soul rejoice!
Take joy, my King, in what you hear
Make it a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

Make it a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

Scriptural Reference:

"Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation." Psalm 35:9

and this bible verse too

Philp. 4:13 I can do all things through him that gives me strength.

have a wonderful and blessed day :).
