TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM THE SPRING INVITATIONAL

A few weeks ago I wrote here that I was considering going to Seminary at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have taken the step of sending in my application and will be attending the Spring Invitational at the seminary in two-weeks. I am very excited about this as it will be a chance to meet some of those students that will be ahead of me in class and those that will be with me as well.

If accepted, I will be one of the older people in the classes at 45 years of age. I have not attended a college class since 1995 when I finished by studies for my Baccalaureate in Public Policy and Business Economics. I didn't think I would ever consider going back again, but God in his mercy has a sense of humor and is putting me through the paces.

Before I can go though there are some huge hurdles that must be jumped. Selling our house in Apple Valley, MN. We have lived here for almost 3-years. It is paramount that we sell the house within the next month and close almost as quickly. I must also apply for financial aids to be able to pay for school. We must find adequate and affordable housing in Fort Wayne and find good schools for our girls and last but not least my wife must find full-time employment to be able to support us through the next few years.

I ask all who read this to become prayer warriors over the next few weeks where my family is concerned. Pray that the trip to Fort Wayne is both safe and successful and that all the other hurdles have been cleared. It is a trying time, but I have faith that God will listen to our prayers.

I will keep you abreast of the situation as it progresses.
