Press on....

"If you don't quit, you win" Misty Edwards

Have you ever had something go all the way to the end and then fall through?

I have! My recent fall through happened yesterday. Here's the story:

Mid-December I applied to an online university not thinking too much about it, mostly testing the waters. This last week the talk turned very serious as I was awarded $5,350 through a federal pell grant and received the official acceptance email. I was VERY excited! Then I spoke with the financial aid counselor finding out how much money I would have to borrow through student loans and instantly depressed. After graduating in 2014 I would owe almost $50,000.

There's no problem but now I have to fight through that depressing feeling of not having it work out. It's a test of my heart. Do I get offended or do I continue to run with perseverance? (Heb 12)
