My Journey - What is going on?

Ok friends, not giving any advice in this post… Just thinking out loud here…

So, if you know about me then you know I am not currently attending seminary. I’ve been taking seminary classes virtually and was planning on transferring to a residential campus at the start of 2008. Through a series of events that I have not had time to share yet (though it is on my “to be posted” list) my wife and I decided to move forward with the decision to quit my job, move to far away, and attend seminary. It was a decision based on much prayer and through much council. Through the whole process it appeared that God’s hand was working things in such a way that it was going to work… now, here we are, about a month away from when we need to move and we haven’t sold our house. This is the final piece to the puzzle. It is also the make or break of the whole deal. No house sell, no move, no seminary… do not pass go, do not collect $200.

So, I sit here today… wondering. Did I miss something? Lord, what are you doing? I know you aren’t a con-man trying to hide your will from me… but I just don’t understand.

Thankfully, I am not crushed by the situation… it isn’t like I’m freaking out. I’m not questioning God’s plans and purposes… But I’m just confused. Everything seemed to be right, and now this.

So, I’m not sure what to do. We figure that we have about another week before we miss our window of opportunity for this upcoming semester (the one we have already registered for). After that, I’m not sure what happens… Do we put off seminary for another 6 months? Continue to live in this state of limbo? Do we throw in the towel and just keep trying to do virtual classes?

I don’t know… no answers here.

You have any answers? Anyone want to buy our house?

Thanks for the love

Thanks for making November a great month at going to seminary.  As you may notice by the sidebar, I have decided to open goingtoseminary.com to sponsors.  I hoping that by adding a few select sponsors I’ll be able to be a little more free to focus on getting out more quality content.

As I was preparing to launch the sponsorship section I found some really cool stats that I wanted to share with you.

In November we had:

613 – Total visits to the site
3,111 – Total number of pages viewed in November
5.08 – Average number of pages viewed by visitor
3:40 – Average time visitors spent on the site
23 – Number of countries that our visitors represented
104 – Number of visitors who visited 10 or more pages

It is really exciting to feel like we’re really helping people here.  I work really hard to get as much helpful information out as I possibly can… however, I’d love it if you (current seminarians and those trying to decide) would post some comments.  I’m sure you have lots of experience and thoughts to share… so, please don’t be shy.  There are lots of people traveling through here looking for help and encouragement.

Again… thanks to everyone for all the love.

End of the Seminary Semester

For all of you who have finished your semester… Congratulations.

For those who are still plugging away on those final papers… keep up  the good work… You can make it.
