Thanks for th encouragement there David. I thought long and hard about this
and the more I think about it, the more I don't want to be in this wordly
college(IUPUI) anymore. I was walking down the hallway of one of the buildings
one day and a thought popped into my head. This school I am attending teaches
*many* thing against my beliefs and desires.
I am a physical education major for teaching k-12. Two of the classes
*required* are dance classes. Both classes make you dance as part of the
requirement. I objected to the dancing and wearing of the ballet slipper
(also required) and the teacher said I was in the wrong profession then.
It made me think. If I go on, I will do many things which I object to now.
Yes, I could teach in a Apostolic school and I would love to if the chance
arised but to go through a wordly degree to get there, I don't want it.
Now I have heard it preached before(Bro Jerry Jones) in a youth conference
to get a education and get over it. For awhile, I was doing just that.
The problem is, the more I get this "education" the more torn up I am getting
inside. I feel like I am going crazy!
I prayed about this awhile back and many times since and asked God to open
and close the doors for me. I basically left it all for Him to have His way.
When this semester started up, I found my loan was messed up, my financial aid
was messed up, and I lost my registered classes. Not wanting to take this as
a sign from God, I looked into all of the mess. My loan was not in the
computers. I showed reciept and all, but to no avail. I also had to reapply
for financial aid. By arguing with the registrar and finanical aid departments
I was able to get my classes back. To this day though, my loan is not
showing up. Still not wanting to take this for a sign
