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
