if, by chance, you read my last post and are now reading this, you will probably think i am a lunatic.
i will be attending the University of Arkansas in the fall.
surprised? confused? no? well, i am. basically it all comes down to the fact that i was being really close-minded because i WANTED Belmont so badly. but, in reality, it would be dumb for me to not accept all of the opportunity that comes with an Honors Fellowship at U of A. and it's really not a question of whether God will use me or not, He will use me at Fayetteville.
in fact, i'm a little nervous (but mostly excited) about everything He has in store for the next four years. yes, i will probably alwasy wonder what it would have been like to go to Belmont and live in Nashville. but, if, in four years, i still feel called there, what's keeping me from going? i can go to grad school. or even work there.
whenever i would think about attending Belmont, i couldn't be excited because i knew there was still so much to be done in order for me to actually get there and not be thousands of dollars in debt when i graduate. but, in looking forward to Fayetteville, i CAN get excited. i can start thinking about who i will live with, what classes i'll take, what cocurricular activies i'll be a part of. it's all worked out. all i have to do is go (and keep good grades, but hey, if that's what it takes...).
so, i guess all that's left to say is:
WOO PIG!
and praise the LORD for opening my eyes!

So proud of you babe. You're a Hog now! :)
I think the wisest decisions we can make are to go where God opens doors. God opened the door to UofA. Take the offer and walk through it. :)
You'll probably have your doubts on and off, but ultimately, if it is where you are called, you'll look back on your college planning and not be able to picture yourself anywhere else.
Be open to the Lord's calling and HAVE FUN!
