An Update

     A couple of months have passed since my last blog entry. Since that last post, many things have occurred in my life. I decided to provide a brief update concerning my life for those of you who may be wondering.
     For those of you who do not already know, I am no longer a student at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. Towards the end of April and the beginning of May I decided to transfer grad schools. There are multiple reasons for my decision, but this summer I have come to realize that the main reason may have arisen from a need to change environments and a desire to write a new chapter of my life.
     Owing to various friendships, I zeroed in on Trinity Evangelical Divinity School as my primary choice for continuing my education. In all honesty, I had looked at transferring to TEDS as early as the summer of 2009. TEDS has excellent academic programs and a structure of campus life that allows for students to be mentored by professors, in addition to fellow peers. Most importantly, TEDS focuses on spiritual development of the follower of Christ.
     So, I applied to TEDS during my final weeks at Liberty University. The process wasn't very complicated since I had begun the application the previous August. I received notification a few weeks later that I had been accepted in to the Intercultural Studies program. I arranged for housing, scheduled classes, ordered textbooks, and eventually packed my car to head to the Chicago area.
     I have been in Deerfield, IL for about three whole days. I've been spending my time putting together furniture and unpacking. [Note: IKEA is an amazing place!] I still have some more unpacking to do before fully beginning the process of "settling in." Nonetheless, I am very excited to begin classes and see what God has in store for the coming months.
     To those who have prayed for me- Thank you! To those who have continued to keep up with my blog posts- Thank you! Finally, to those of you who have come across my blog for the first time- I hope you'll return in the future.
