By the beginning of August, no one had said anything about RBI or RSW to me and I had made other plans to continue my education at a local college, and resume my job as school began. But I felt such an anxiety set in about the choice I was making to continue in the world’s system when I knew within what really matters is what I do for Him. That’s when I began to get desperate for an answer from God.  I spoke with my sister briefly about what I was feeling,and she said “If there’s anything that is in the back of your mind to do, just go do it!”  That’s when I knew that I needed to began to push in the direction of Bible school.  So with 13 days until school was to start, and with zero money to my name I just began to walk in faith and I began the application process.  I decided it was best to hold a garage sale to get rid of my things to help fund this leap of faith I was about to make.

When I came to Tampa, I had no idea where I was going to stay, or how I would make it. I just knew that God had given me a passion to be here, and with that passion I knew there had to be a purpose. And so far God has not failed once to provide my every need. I stand here today so thankful to my beautiful Savior for bringing me so far and giving me a hope for my future. I know that as I continue in school, there will be much adapting and stretching.  But I feel so very excited at the knowledge I know I will receive while attending.  And I am honored to be here.
