Well, I found a college that I really love. It has my major; there is even the option to to minor in Irish Literature!! The study abroad options are to Ireland and England. It sounds so perfect. My mother and I went to visit the campus this past weekend. It was so beautiful and the on-campus housing that I was offered was better than most sophomores get :)
We did not just go up to look at the campus. First we looked at horse barns nearby and met with trainers. I would love to bring Geronimo up with me! He is 4 years old and has a locking stifle. If he and I don't work on our working relationship soon, we will not be able to reach any of my goals. He might not recover from his injury if he isn't worked out of it by the time he is fully grown. So I am working within a time frame on both my education and my horse. Both require money.
I am unable to get a loan to finish paying the college bill. That's what this all comes down to. This is the problem with parents going through divorce, putting all my money into horses (which, no matter what happens, was SO worth it). That is all okay if I didn't get to glimpse what I could have. Everything was going so well before I found out about the money (or lack of). I got some of the best campus housing, the best educational opportunities, the best barn opportunities to help me and Geronimo.
Now we are going to hope for the best.
Thought for the day: What God gives, God may take away. Don't even think that you can control anything in your life.

But you begin to see what a good plan can bring to the future! :) Some people will never begin the hard work of one and hence never have the future of their potential. You did.
ReplyDeleteGod gave us all we need, emotions and intellect. He expects us to put BOTH to good use. It is never too late to begin a plan or alter it if need be...part of the journey is all. You took this step, made a plan, now keep going.
Don't WAIT for things to happen. MAKE them happen. Make the alterations where necessary. Have a back up plan when you can! :)
This opportunity, as marvelous as it is, may not be the only route to your goal. It only appears that way from where you are standing right now. Keep moving forward and keep your eyes open. Follow the road that opens up to you and offers possibilities for your desired goals. Miracles and marvels are everywhere and they happen in an instant!
