  • For those that believe in a higher power ... please pray

    Ok, well after witnessing the effect of intense prayer on my daughter's surgeries I have to say that I am a big believer in the power of prayer.

    I have this very important interview today that could will be a huge deciding factor for my future. It is for a scholarship that I am applying for, 20,000 bucks to go to grad school. I have to go before a panel of facutly members and speak flawless Spanish to prove that I am bilingual, and also tell them how I plan to help Latinos once I obtain my MSW and PhD.

    This scholarship would pay for my entire masters and give me some spending money for books and a computer and other stuff that I need for school. If I don't get the scholarship I will have to seriously consider not furthering my education.

    So ... to make a long story long, (lol, sorry for all the background), if those of you reading this post believe in some form of higher power I would really appreciate if you could say a short little prayer so that I will do well today.

    My interview is at 1:30 and I am really nervous, it is a competative scholarships, they have 10 applicants and are only giving out 5 scholarships. Please pray for me to get one of these.

    Ultimatly whichever way it works out I know that God is watching out for me, and if He wants me to go on with my education I will get that scholarship and if He doesn't then I wont. But I feel that God has a master plan for me, and it involves me being very academically educated, so I really want to get it.

    Anyway, thanks for your time, I'll post here later and let you guys know how it goes. Yikes! I feel the butterflies dancing around in my stomach.

                    I am totally praying for you girl! Dont listen to the other nonsense on this thread. You are right if it is His will for you then it will be done. The great thing about that is that if you dont get what you need then it wasnt His will and you just have to trust in that!

                        Yoly, I wish you luck and am sending good thoughts your way.



                        Ahem.. on the other matter, many of us have had our share of spankings on the board over the years (especially when the debating board was around). There are a couple things you can do when you've been scolded on the board...

                        A. You can suck it up and continue posting, it's a board after all not your life.. don't take everything so personally.

                        B. You can gripe about it and clutter up other threads with your gripe about it, in which case expect the others to smack you about a bit for disrupting other threads

                        or C. You can leave the board since you deem it to be so unfair.
