Frustrated

[BFP]

I'm praying for you Honeybee. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders:>) and a good heart! Sometimes we have to wait for what we want, and it sounds like you have a pretty good understanding of that...even when you get frustrated with it.

I finally talked with my mother today. I needed to do this, but I was hesitant. I finally brought it up and got her view. She won't be able to support me in any way, and if I decide to go anywhere to college, I will be on my own. She isn't saying that I can't go, she just thinks it's impossible, given my lack of resources. I'm wondering whether I ought to just apply somewhere and see what kind of scholarships, and (last resort) loans I could get. Please continue to pray for me, as I desperately need guidance!

Apply For Admittance (And Employment?) And Ask For Counseling

If You Can Get A Full-time Job Working For A College Often They Will Allow Their Employees To Attend Two Classes (6 Semester Units) Without Cost Per Semester

Then You Will Have Funds For Living And For Books And Lab Fees And Maybe Even A Little Left Over To Pay For A Short Weekend Holiday Every Six Months Or So

Living Totally On Your Own And Away From Home May Increase Your Opportunities For Grants Etc.

May The Lord Guide You In Your Schooling And Beyond

Rejoice Evermore And Pray Without Ceasing

Be Blessed Beloved Daughter Of The KING

Check with your Guidance Counselor to see what is available for scholarships and loans. They should be able to help you find what you need to get into college. My youngest started college last year and they helped a lot. There is always a way ... PRAY!

In Him,

Homeschooled my whole life. I wish I had a guidance counselor-might make things easier. But I took my ACT, and I actually have my driving test scheduled now, so maybe I can take some steps forward.

Ok, for all of you who have been following this, I want to report a tremendous praise! This is a link to a praise report, so I won't go into detail in this post, but I wanted you all to know what is going on.

Glad that she's consented to let you check it out. Also, sometimes people work full-time and go to school part-time.

I not very religeous type. I believe in the lord but I don't really walk the straight and narrow if you know what I mean. However I will impart some wisdom to you honeybee.

You have a choose to make, stay home and continue following your mom wishes, or leave and find your own path, put your fate in Gods hands. Being called to mission work is hard and can be dangerious depending on were you go. If you truly are being called it means you are faced with a difficult choose, either obey your mother or obey God. You are not powerless in your situation.

If you truly are being called and you want to follow then the answer is very simple, disobey your mother, get a job, get your own place, find a way to go back to school. I won't tell you it will be easy, in fact it will be the most difficult thing you will ever do, but then again that is the whole point. The idea is for you to draw closer to God. The idea is to put your faith and trust in him to take a chance and go with it. If you truly want to follow God and are being called to do mission work this is your first step towards that end.

Understand Mission work is hard and most times dangerious in some parts of the world. God isn't going to send you off till your ready, everything challange presented before you is Gods way of prepairing you for what he has planned for you. It's not easy to take the first step. If it were easy every one would do it.

So the choice is simple, either obey your mother or obey god and take a chance. The choice is up to you. Only know one thing that as long as you put your faith in God he will get you were you need to be, don't worry about the money let him take care of it, just do what you can and leave the rest up to him.

One thing to note, this doesn't mean you shouldn't save your money or apply for grants and what not, you should do some leg work. What I'm saying is that as long as you put forth the effort and you put your faith in God some how some way the money will come to you.
