Don't want my years at EBC to be wasted.


I'm graduating in December from Eternity Bible College where I started auditing classes when I was fifteen. On Tuesday, I picked up my petition to graduate and realized I won't be taking any more classes!!! For years I've done hours of studying; read stacks of books; and wrote piles of papers. I have been blessed to learn under godly professors and teachers who love God with all their hearts, souls and minds; who care more about spiritual growth in their students than fact memorization; who deliberately create assignments that cause incredible spiritual personal experiences with my Lord and Savior. Next semester I won't be in classes that help keep me focused on eternal things or assignments that force me to be in the Word. I don't want to check college off my list, never look back and just go into the next season of my life. One degree, two degrees, ten degrees...they mean nothing if all I gain from them is head knowledge. I want to take with me all I've learned and apply it to bringing God glory. I want to KEEP learning about my Jesus and His Word. I want to become the woman God wants me to be and I want to be used by Him to point others to Him. Please pray for me as I try to die daily to Mary and live for my God and King.
