Post Secret Round 2

Coming to a mailbox or hopefully our favorite .blogspot near you. A month ago Danya, Sarah and I went to EKU to hear Frank Warren from Post Secret speak. On the trip home we all made the deal to create our very own post secret postcard.

A few of my favorites from the site are included below.

Prayer

My dad is in the Branch Presidency that I attend. This also means when he needs someone to give a 20 minute talk he comes my way. In a few weeks I'll be talking about prayer.

My thesis is this: When we pray and we ask Heavenly Father for blessings we desire he gives us two answers. Either one - He says yes and grants our desire or two - He says I'll give you something better.

So to all of my blog friends, I am asking you... yes you. To contribute to my talk. I need insights. I need experiences. I need thoughts. If you have anything about prayer you'd like to share I would appreciate it.

Rumors true

If you've tried to get in touch with me in the past few days and I haven't responded, I promise there is a good reason. I wasn't just silencing my phone for the fun of it. Well maybe for some of you I was but lets not get into that right now.

DRUM ROLE PLEASE

I've applied to Grad School.
A Master of Arts in Student Affairs Administrator in Higher Education
Ball State University - Muncie, Indiana


The last week has been a little crazy to say the least. Within 1 week, 7 days, 168 hours I decided to apply for grad school and had to have everything for the process turned in.
I had to:
Apply for admission to the Grad School
Get 3 people to agree to be professional references
Write 2 essays
Request transcripts
cough up 50 bones for the administrators outfit, i mean admissions fee
send e-mails
Apply for admissions to my program

As of right now I have been admitted to the Grad School, but that really means nothing unless I'm admitted to my program. . . I interview on the 20th.

Cross your fingers. I couldn't be more excited about the possibilities of going to grad school. I feel positive about this decision and have fallen in love with the program.

So until the 20th this is all I will be saying about grad school. AND depending on how my interview goes, this may be my only mention of ever applying...
