There are changes in the air...exciting changes, scary changes, costly changes. I got accepted into my college of choice. Now, as exciting as it is, I am very overwhelmed.
Keep in mind the community college I attended before our move cost approximately $18,586 a year. That works out to a little more than $9,293 a semester. The new private Christian college I am starting in the fall, $36,348 a year. That is a grand total of...(insert drum roll please) $18,174 a semester. My Pell grant and financial aid comes to a grand total of $17, 500 A YEAR. As you can see, there is a slight discrepancy in those numbers. My stress level on realizing the breadth of the discrepancy...was astronomical. I almost, ALMOST cried.
I chose instead to sit down and ask God if He knew what He was doing. I heard Him laugh(in my head of course) and remind me that he is in control. So please, please pray for my/our financial needs.
There are all kinds of grants, loans, etc. I can apply for, but I am still very worried. Besides the tuition and fees thing, I am also still waiting on acceptance into the nursing program...pray hard people, God is going to have to do mega string pulling for this to happen. I know God is in control, but it is still a frightening/exciting change.
On a whole other note, I had to explain the whole "blog" thing to my husband this morning. I showed him one of my favorites, Life With A Family, to explain. He was impressed, and actually sat and read over my shoulder for quite some time....who knows, maybe I will get a co-blogger yet!!
