Prior to entering the seminary

I was a homeschooler.  In my senior year I took dual-credit courses at the State Fair Community College.

Enjoy most about the seminary

Prayer, frequent prayer has helped me to get through everything.  Also, the people here are great to be around.

Favorite thing I have learned while in seminary

I have been learning so much about myself and the potential each one of us carries.

Reason for entering the seminary

I felt it was time to take a chance.  I felt God whispering through small things for awhile.  I am glad I took the incentive to just try the shoe on for size.  “Be not afraid.”
