School and Such

Brent found, what we believe, is the perfect school. It's online. He can earn his Associate's in Computer Science in about 2 1/2 years. It's called Devry University. It is pretty awesome. It is also pretty expensive. Well...not in comparison to some schools. But in comparison to what my education cost me...expensive. He applied to the school and tomorrow he finds out what the next steps are: financial assistance and signing up for classes. We are praying that somehow he gets some grants or scholarships. We already have the FAFSA ready to go. But it wouldn't be enough. Things will be tight. Thank the Lord that for now we are living in Calvin's (brother-in-law) house for free. But that's only until December, at the latest. A student loan may be necessary. It's awesome that I work at a credit union where I can get an oh-so-awesome deal on a loan, but...Oh!...all donations from parents are greatly appreciated. lol! Thought I would throw that out since almost all my parents read this blog. Just keep in mind: this is to better our lives and it's only for a season. =)
Anywho...my new job is going great! I've never had a job where I worked with so many other Christians. It is so encouraging! It will definately "keep me on my toes" when it comes to living out my faith. It seems easier to me to live out my faith when I'm the only Christian around. You just naturally stand out. But when other Christians are living their faith too...hard. I now have accountability to shine as bright as they do. Do ya'll understand what I'm saying? Maybe it's the opposite for you? Brent said it's the opposite for him. What do you guys think?
