It's Decision Time

It is coming down to the final weeks of this process. By the end of the month we need to finalize the decision for Emma's college. She applied to 4 colleges and was accepted to all four colleges. She was also awarded scholarships at all four schools. We visited campuses and then went back again for Decision Day events. It was fun and exciting to walk campuses and envision Emma embarking on new adventures. Then as it got closer to the decision deadline and we had to consider the finances of every increasing tuition and lack of federal aid, the joy for me got sucked out of the journey. Emma has been avoiding conversations about college decisions and I think the money aspect is weighing on her as well. Now we are reviewing the financial aid packages and discussing the debt / value of each option. We have contacted the schools in a hope that they can put some more aid together and now we wait.

Please join us in praying for discernment in the right path for Emma. Please ask God to provide the finances for the path he wants her to take.
