Well, on saturday my mom and I went to Pioneer/Farmer's Festival. There was a tractor parade. You cant get much more small town than that.
But, that isn't the reason behind this story. It begins when we got home.
Mom and i arrived home around 5-ish and it was a long day. I was tired and hungry, by no means ready for something significant to happen. God always has other plans. She was going through the mail and pulled out a big packet from Northwestern College- a college i could only dream of going to. "wow, these people must really want you." Northwestern has been sending me a lot of mail lately.
I opened it and the 3 Miracles started from there.
1:Inside the the packet there was an admission application, All my recommendation forms I'd need to give to my superiors,an informational on majors lookbook, and a letter telling me that they want me to apply because I have "Skills, the ability, and attitude" to attend their college. the sum total of the packet is $4o. they sent it to me for free.
2:NWC is an expensive college of $30,000 dallars a year. and my family just does not have that king of money. But, While i was looking at the "Financial aid" section of the info book, and there is a 10% tuition discount for students if either of thier parent work in Ministry! Two of my Three do! my Stepdad is a pastor and christian educator, and my mom is a church office manager...amazing. Not to mention the numerous scholarships I qualify for.
3:I had been worried about my ACT score. I took the test my junior year and scored a 19. i know. Not many colleges accept students with that low of a score. I am not by anymeans a slow student. I am just not good with big pressure tests. But, in another section of the info book it stated that to attend NWC, you must have an ACT score of at least 18!... GOD IS AMAZING!!
when i foung this out, i just about peed myself(not literal). I went and told my mom and started to cry...
There is a three-week turn around for acceptance letters for the people who received those packets...and i am praying with all my heart that i am accepted to Northwestern College. Its too perfect to not be for me...
