So I had a nice discussion with Jon today about what I thought would be about a possible internship. But it ended up a little different. Here's the gist of the conversation:
- I need to pick a place that will challenge me to grow and learn the most.
- Staying at SBR would not do that because…
- It would just be a repeat of this year, except without the good classes
- Silver birch would suck me in and never let go.
- Internship is a no-go.
- It would be sweet to work for and get to know the youth group better.
- It wouldn’t challenge me at all
- I gotta get some schooling.
So I’ll get some schooling. I’ve been accepted at Northwestern in St. Paul, and at Trinity in Deerfield. Jeremy is going to Trinity. I’ve already got a huge scholarship for Trinity. Trinity is about 6 hours closer to home than Northwestern. I can have my truck at Trinity (at Northwestern I can’t).
I hate the fact that I’m making this choice just after I’ve talked to Jon because I feel like I’m just making the decision that Jon picked. The thing is though, that I really respect Jon. I think he’s full of great insight and wisdom, and I know God speaks to me and guides me through him.
Plus, earlier in the day I talked with Jason about this a little bit, and he pretty much gave me the same wisdom as Jon did.
Let us continue in prayer, to see if God wants us to go this way.

This "Jon" person you speak of must be pretty amazing. Praying for you man. Loved seeing you this week. Always reminds me how much I miss hanging out with you.
