After an extended absence from the oh-so-glamourous world of writing posts that nobody reads, I’m back. I changed the background and stuff; so that’s pretty exciting.
My life has seen a decent amount of reshaping over the past few months. For financial reasons, I decided in December to not return to Wheaton College for my fourth semester. Right before Christmas, I moved back in with my parents. Right now, I’m working full time to pay down some debt and get myself financially situated before I return to school to finish my degree. Odds are that I will not be returning to Wheaton, which breaks my heart more than just about anything. I haven’t thought it all out completely yet, but I see a couple options for where I will attend school after my time off. If I decide that I want to finish my degree in Bible, I’m looking to apply to Moody Bible Institute for the Fall semester. If I decide that I want to finish my degree Philosophy or English for my undergrad, I will apply to some state schools for the Spring semester of 2012. Either way, my plans for a life in ministry still haven’t changed. I’m still aspiring (by God’s grace) to the pastorate. I’m still looking to go to seminary after undergrad, whether my degree is in Bible or not.
All of that is still a long way out. For now, I’m saving money, reading books, and looking for productive ways to spend my free time (like blogging).
