And so the search begins....

Here we will begin what will be a long, but enjoyable process: choosing a college.

Yes I am of the age now when one thinks of college and career.

First i am going to state what i am looking for/ have decided I need to look for in a college.

1) Christian: It may seem narrow minded but I want to go and feel lead to a Christian college. It may be a good way to spread the Gospel by going to a secular college but I don't feel lead that way. I believe that God is leading me to a Christian college so that i can gain a better understanding of him. I need a stronger base and understanding of my own before i can effectively minister to others around me. I'm not saying i cant be a light now, just that to be a better light i need a better base.

2) Science: I like science. I am good at science. I want to pursue a career in science. Therefore i have concluded that i want a college that has science.

3) Location: I would prefer one that is not on the other side of the universe so i can come home on holidays/ longer breaks. It would be cool to study abroad though....

4) Size: Size is an important factor. It is not just about the academics, but the place itself because it will be a home for 4+ years. I am thinking something small- medium size, don't really have a preference yet.

Now we will have  a brief telling of out visit to college
#1. Cederville University in Ohio.

I liked this college a lot. Very Christ-centered and a great place to grow in a relationship with God. They have a good science program, and it is a nice size. The location is not bad, about a days drive from home. Cederville will defiantly be on my list at the moment.

So here we end the beginning of the documentation of a search for a college. I would be grateful if you would pray for God to guide me in my choice.

So long for now,
