So, our plan was to go to college in Okmulgee Oklahoma at OSUIT and get our Associates degrees, then move on to a four year University. Kyle and I have been working part time and going to college full time, for the most part, for almost two years now. If I were to keep going to OSUIT I would complete my degree this fall, and Kyle would complete his in Spring 2016. We have both been praying hard for God to show us what we need to do with our lives that would best serve him, and he has answered.
I filled out an application to OBU located in Shawnee (about an hour and a half drive) last year just to see how much Financial Aid I would get.(I didn't expect to get much, since this is a very expensive private Christian school) Well, I received my reward letter about a week ago and much to my surprise my tuition would be all paid for! This totally flabbergasted Kyle and I because it was not what we expected at all. I believe God has answered our prayer.
We have been discussing what to do about this and we have been weighing the pros and cons of moving, and we have finally decided to move to Shawnee this summer! I am so excited but scared at the same time, to move this far away from my home and family is kind of new to me. I have been searching for places to live and jobs in that area, and have had pretty good luck so far. We plan to move at the end of June after our trip to California, which I will mention in another post, and get settled in before school starts in mid-August. I hope to take you guys on this journey with me!
