Decisions decisions....
Seeing as it is spring break I finally have time to sit down at the computer and do a much needed up date to my blog. As school is drawing to an end I realized I should try to figure out what I want to do with my life after grade 12. I came to the conclusion that bible school was the answer. Now that I have that figured out, I need to choose a school. I thought I came to the conclusion of going to SBC, it had a lot of pros to it, it's close to home so I won't miss Hailey, Darcy and the rest of my family too much, I would know a bunch of people going there so I wouldn't be all alone, I've heard a lot of good about the profs there, and it is close to Tim Hortons. This past Wednesday to Thursday a few of my friends and I went to SBC's Discovery Days. It went all right, but I came home a little dissapointed. The people were really nice and we stayed with a really cool girl in dorm, the profs were for the most part good, but I didn't feel like it was the right place for me. The school was too small for me, you think that I'd be used to it coming from Rosenort but I was hoping for a little bit more than SBC has to offer. Maybe I am just being too picky. So when I got home I checked out the Prov site as well as Briercrest. I am getting information on both places and friday I am going to a concert at Prov with some friends to check it out. I secretly want to go to Briercrest and a lot of people have told me to go, but I don't know how I can leave Darcy, Hailey, and the rest of my family behind. I would miss them all so much. Even though I only plan to go for 1 semester it would be hard to leave them. And then there is also the fear that I would love it too much and want to go back for the second semester, or 2nd, 3rd or 4th year. Or maybe I shouldn't go to bible school this year, I could work, or go to Red River, or UofM. Hmmmmm.....so many choices in life...I wish someone could make them for me!!! Well anyways....Maybe one day I will figure things out. So in the mean time if you have comments, questions or suggestions I would really appreciate your input!!!

Ugh! I went through the same thing when I graduated. Part of the reason why I chose Prov instead of Briarcrest was because it was close to home (and Scott . . .) but I also did feel God's leading through prayer and it ended up being one of the best experiences of my life! I will pray for you that God guides you in the right path for you.
Yes, there are so many choices in life....I am proud of you for exploring the option of attending Bible school. Keep praying about it. God knows what is in store for you in the next few months, and He will help you along the way. In His time the answers will come to your questions...just listen for His voice. I love you SO much, and I'll be praying for you Jill!!
Thanks Brandi, that means a lot to me. I thought that I had made up my mind about going to Briercrest but have felt very uneasy about it these past few days...guess I'll just keep praying!
Oh Amber...you are so sweet! Definitly the best sis out there. I know which one you're pulling for but I appreciate that you will support me where ever I go!
you should go to Bethany College!!!
well, thanks for coming and visiting MY blog too! :)
i understand ya - Bethany is quite a ways away...i'm just such an advocate since I'm an alumni & i'm on the Board of Directors. i love that school...and that's probably why Briercrest is on my list of NOT...such competition - haha.
i'd love to know who Darcy's Aunt & Uncle are! You should come visit sometime!
Anyway, I really hope you are able to make a decision that makes you happy & excited about the step you are taking. I think any place that is rooted in God & teaches you from the Word can only be awesome & super beneficial. You'll make the right decision - don't worry.
I'll keep checking back to see what you decided!
