After over 12 years of procrastination, God woke me up at 2 am a few months ago and put it in my heart to use my GI Bill and go back to seminary so I listened. 

I picked up the journey of completing my Master of Divinity Degree in Cristian Ministries.  I had not written a paper in over 12 years! It took 4 confirmations for God to get me to do it, I'm a stubborn man and resisted and questioned if this is what God really wanted me to do. 

The paper below is on Ephesians 4:7-16. It was a three-part assignment; which, my first submission was so bad I earned a 31/60! I had never failed an assignment in college all thoughout my undergraduate degree with Embry Riddle or with Liberty University in my first class 12 years ago, it was VERY humbling.

Talk about being tested! With much prayer, tears, loss of sleep, and a lot of help and encouragement from my professor, I decided to stick with it. Honestly, I wondered if I was going to pass the class. 

My three grades of this three-part paper: 31/60; 100/100; 140/140! 90% overall!!!

Thank you, Lord!
