I would have never imagined

             This story begins when a relative called my house in the early spring of this year, offering me a place to live if I should pursue going to school in Spokane WA. “I heard from another source that Rose visited the MoodyBible campus and had been thinking of going to school there,” She explained to my Mother over the phone. Eagerly, my mom recounted the conversation to me just a few minutes after hanging up the phone.

   When I graduated in 2013, I did not truly know where God wanted me to go, or what he desired for me to do with my life at that time. I visited Moody Bible Institute in Spokane to please my parents, but I did not want to go to school there. If God lead me to attend college, my heart was inclined towards a small, one-year bible college on the Oregon coast (Ecola). When my parents said no to that desire, the idea of college no longer occupied my mind. . 

 . . .until this family member contacted me.

   My parents felt like this was a “God thing,” and asked me to pray about going to school at Moody in the fall; a couple of weeks later, I timidly agreed to apply to MBI Spokane. I sent in my application not knowing what to expect, and in all honesty, doubting that I would get in. However, things fell into place one after another, and God continued to soften my heart, drawing me to a knowledge that this is what He had planned for my future. 

  In late July, I moved from my beloved Idaho woods to the busy city of Spokane and began searching for a Job. God blessed me right away and I started working the same week as I started my classes at Moody. Talk about BIG change. I had basically started a whole new life.

  I know, now how God has been preparing my heart for this journey, and hand picked this college for me based off of the passions and vision that he has given me for the broken and hurting people, both here in the united states and overseas in third world countries. 

  My desire is to study and know the word of God and become equipped to disciple the people within my sphere of influence, and anyone that God causes me to cross paths with.

Homework has taken over my life. (Thus why it has been such a long time since I posted an update)

Being overly organized is the only way I am making it through this time is my life right now.

 I color coordinate all my classes and use highlighters to mark what assignments have been done.

I carry my life around in this bag.

My School - Moody Bible Institute 

  Eight months ago, I would have never imagined that this is where I would be, but here I am, eager to learn and grow, wherever God directs me.
