• He really does answer prayer

  Sam and I pray together every night — about the baby and everything else.  Recently, we’ve been praying a lot about what to do in the near future (seminary) and far future (missions).  One of the big questions we are grappling with is how we could afford seminary in the fall quarter, since I had stopped working when we became parents and because tuition has gone up.  We finally came to the point where we thought maybe we’d have to give up seminary this fall.   But then today I got a financial aid award letter in the mail from our seminary.  I have been awarded two scholarships for this next academic term!  The condition is that I have to take 2 classes per quarter in order to receive the scholarships.  So basically, God was making it clear — not only was I to continue with seminary but I will take two classes a quarter.  Plus, when I take 2 classes, Sam gets to take 1 class for half off.  How could we say no to the scholarships?  Now we just have to come up with the other $2450 per quarter x 3 quarters = $7350…  eeks.  That’s a lot of money — but all the gold and silver in the world belongs to God, right?
