All I can say is "Thank you Jesus..." and I cannot say it enough.
I applied for financial aid a while ago to start going to college, and was turned down due to the fact I make too much money. Therefore, since I am not able to pay for college myself, I had to start working two full time jobs. That was killing me off. I just quit my 2nd full time job today--and was very depressed--because college doesn't start for another 9 months to a year. I wasn't even sure if I could go then, due to the fact I wouldn't have any money. So, my roommate comes in, and I got talking to my roommate about college, and he said it'll be exciting when I can start going again! So, I signed on to the universities' website, and checked my email...I went through so many pointless emails. About meetings, bulletins...etc...etc. Then I noticed something from the financial aid office...
Inside my email was an award. It was a loan for $4,000. $4,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That pays for two semesters!!! I was so happy, I screamed "Holy s***!!" And, then I started to cry cuz I was so happy, and I just emotional like that...I don't care if it is a loan, and will put me in more debt...God completely did this--because the university told me I applied too late, and wouldn't be awarded anything. Stupid college...but, thank you Lord!! I can get a head start on my education! WOOHOO!! College here I come!!!
So, yeah. I'm registered, I'm happy, and I'm not going to be able to wait for the next two months to start...
All the glory in the world to God...Amen and Amen.

That is GREAT, Darrel!! For someone old like me, whose brain is turning to mush, I can't understand why anyone would be excited about SCHOOL, but good for you!!

My loan has been finalized.....so, I'm going for sure! I start in late April!!
Go God go!!
Please keep me in your prayers, though. Now comes the hard part with submitting my information to HR to get tuition reimbursement. There's a big chance I may not get it. They're picky as to what classes you can take...hopefully they'll understand I'm doing my generals right now.
*crosses fingers* God bless you all! Darrel
