God’s Student

It was some time ago that I was re-accepted into East Tennessee State University. Well, I realized how difficult it would be for me once I got started; I changed majors while trying to drop and add courses, until I dropped them all together. This did not go over well with ETSU, so just like that my college career with ETSU was over. At first, I was disappointed with the way things unraveled so quickly, but I eventually got over it. I was not trying to get a degree just to say I have one, but I wanted a degree to help me get a job.

Several months later, I landed another opportunity to go back to college, yet again. Colorado Christian University had a major in creative writing, and I thought that is right up my alley. It did not work out eventually, even though I had a 3.3 GPA, which is not too shabby for me. The problem is ETSU has a hold on my transcripts, and it is something I cannot overcome. I took out a Perkins Loan back in 2003 which came from the University, and I have been frozen and stagnant ever since when it comes to college.

After CCU did not work out, I came to a conclusion that maybe God does not need me to go to school; I mean, perhaps I have just been stubborn up until now. I can still study God’s word, and his creation. Regardless of what happens, I know I don’t give up easily. I know what I just said about maybe God does not need me to go to school, but maybe I have been choosing the wrong majors; now I am thinking maybe an Associates Degree from Nazarene Bible College. We shall see what transpires. πŸ˜‰

God bless you!

  1. Chris, Thanks for being transparent and sharing your thoughts, dreams, goals. Thank you for writing about them so clearly. And, it is a big deal to open up about psychological diagnosis and make yourself vernerable. I so appreciate it. You may never know how God uses your witness.
    I too have struggled. There has been numerous times of depression, counseling, healing & reoccurrence. Both my parents experienced the same thing.
    I am proud of you & would like to be a prayer partner.
    Several years ago I was pastor of White Rock which preceded New Horizon. Glad you guys are there. Blessings.

    1. Judy thank you for reading and sharing with me. This is why I write a blog to hopefully reach people in some way. Yes, I must put myself out there. I can’t hide from our God anyway. That is awesome that you used to be Pastor here and thank you for welcoming Crystal and me. God bless you.
