I have been so busy these last few weeks. Since school has started life has been non-stop. (I guess life is non-stop anyway.) To sum up, I will just say that I have been in school for more than three weeks. I have my first load of tests this week. I have to either read or finish reading a total of three books in the next week and a half, and write a report. Greek is challenging, but it seems to be coming back to me. On top of all my schooling, I am working as well. Life is fun!!

I must to share a huge blessing that I received within the last couple of weeks. My initial plan when registering this year was to take classes this semester, next semester, and then finish by August. However, I was encouraged by a friend to try to get everything done these next two semesters, so I do not have to attend summer school. In order to accomplish this, I needed to take at least 20 credits this semester. I am not the most disciplined student, so this idea was suicidal. But, I decided to do it anyway.

After registering I began to try to do everything that I needed to do to finish my transcript processes. I embarked on a long but wonderful several week journey that had unexpected benefits. I transferred all my class credits from Greenville Tech, but when viewing my credits from Northland I decided to take a music theory placement test that would allow me to transfer credits that initially were not granted. When talking to the music office and the records office they determined, because I am not a music major, that they would transfer my classes with out needing to take a placement test. In other words, I was granted 9 credits from Northland that were not originally granted. This allowed me not only to plan on graduating in May, but it let me drop two classes this semester that I was taking just as electives.

I was so excited! God has blessed me with this for whatever reason, and I praise Him for His grace. Lord willing, I will finish this semester with 16 credits, next semester with 16 credits, and graduate in May. After eleven years, I will finally be finished. I am a blessed man!!!

I hope to write more often now that I am settled in with school. We will see

This is “grace at work”
