Danielle

Well, Christmas is behind us and Disney is on the horizon! What more could there be, right? Well, let me tell you...

Danielle finally woke up out of her mental coma and decided she should start working through college stuff. She found out that the Pennsylvania Governor's School has application deadlines that have to be met. The deadlines aren't just applications but they want a personal narrative and why she is choosing this specific field of study, at least two pages, no larger than size 12 font, and double spaced. Well there are two fields of study she wants to apply for: 1) Visual Arts (photography emphasis) and 2) Health Care. She can only accept one, (if she qualifies for any). The kicker is, the deadline for the visual art school is January 8, 2009, and the deadline for the health care is February 8, 2009. OH NO RUSH!!! :)

So Danielle called Aunt Peggy to get some help in writing her narratives. Aunt Peggy, has such an amazing a gift for writing! She agreed to help her even though she's in the midst of helping Frankie get back into CMU for his Masters Degree. What a blessing for me to have a resource like her to help muddle my way through all this college stuff.

If she gets accepted Danielle would go to that campus (either University of Pittsburgh or Mercy-Hurst College in Erie) for 35 days this summer and be emerged in this study for the entire time. This could be huge for her getting scholarships and grants for college.

So if your thinking about us, if you could pray for Danielle: that God would give her peace and confidence that only the Holy Spirit can give, and if its Gods will for her to go to either of these schools that He would open the door for her; but most importantly she would be fully aware of Gods grace in her life and would love the Savior even more than she already does, no matter the out come!
