Discouraged. Prayers please. (long.)

KaitlinRich

Within the past week I have gotten almost all of the papers for me to officially be accepted into the elementary education program at my school. Today I realized I had mis-read my gpa and I am a quarter of a point from having what is required. I am very discouraged because I wanted to be accepted before the close of this semester (my gpa will be fine by then).

Also frustrating is our original honeymoon idea has gotten scrapped because we would be there all of two days to be able to fit it into our budget. So now we have downsized and moved. I know we will be happy with our new plan it is just a bit of a letdown because we were so looking forward to our original idea.

And to top everything off, we were planning to spend our first year of marriage in Georgia with my FI being a "traveling nurse" (we could have wiped out our school bills) and my working a job nearby. But now due to the requirement of one year previous experience this will not be possible because I can't delay getting a teaching job. Bottom line, I don't know where we are gonna live, work, or how we are gonna make it. I am so tired of school I could scream (I transferred and all my friends graduated last year and I am still here).

I know that was a bit of a rant and I apologize. I would greatly appreciate your prayers. I know God will not give us more that we can handle but I think he has grossly overestimated my limit. Thank you for listening.

I'll pray for you.  What a story you'll have once you go through the coming situations!  God will provide, even if it's not on our schedule.  Have faith, and pray!

<div>You are right and I'm sorry that you are dealing with all of this but hang in there.  I have a feeling it will all work out.  **hugs and prayers**</div>

You definitely have been through a lot. God's plan isn't always the same as what we think is best for us, but in the end, you will look back on all of this and be thankful that everything worked out just the way it did! I will say a prayer for you guys!

God always has a plan. Good luck!

*Hug*  Don't worry.  When one door closes, another one opens.

Talk to the director of the program about your GPA since it's close to the requirement and you'll meet the requirement after this semester. The director may be able to give you a temporary waiver or put you on conditional admittance.

You'll figure out where to live and work. Your FI can do his traveling nurse thing while you're teaching school in whatever place you two hoping to stay in. While LDRs are hard, they aren't the end of the world and if it helps the two of you out then it may be worth it. You may be able to travel with him during the summer and winter breaks. You might also look into tutoring on the side for an educational company or as a private tutor to help with expenses.

You'll be alright.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! It helped so much! Also for the advice for the GPA I hadn't thought of that but it should work.

ya'll have a wonderful day and thanks again!
