It's January 2009. I already know I'm going to quit my job after our project ends in the summer. I don't know what I'm going to do after that; I've been praying for guidance, and Bible College is one option I've thought about.
After church one day I went out for lunch with a few friends. Some of them had been to Bible College before and were talking about their experiences. At one point, someone turns to me and says "Jonathon, you should go to Bible College!"
Now, this was just a random comment that flowed from the context of the conversation. Still, it was something I had been praying about, and it's not exactly something you hear everyday, so I couldn't get it out of my head even though I figured it didn't mean anything. I went home and prayed about it, and I asked for God to make it really clear whether or not He actually wanted me to go to Bible College.
Later that night I went to a service at Mars Hill Church in Ballard. After the service I got talking with a guy sitting next to me and we ended up grabbing some dinner. It turns out that he had gone to a Bible College in California, so I asked him about it and as he was answering he looked at me and said "Dude, you should go."
So on the same day, two different people both told me I should go to Bible College. It's moments like these when I just have to step back and say "OK God, I got it. I got the message." That was when I knew I was going to Bible College, but I didn't know where.
Jonathan, was I one of the people who told you to go to Bible college? I can remember that conversation on Tuesday night at the Bible college but I can't remember if I told you that you should go too...humm, interesting.
ReplyDeleteGood talking to you last night. Video was cool, but what about some of the links that show up with it?
ReplyDeleteNo, Kelsey, it wasn't you. It was on a Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMom, what do you mean about the links that show up with it?
