Before I make my prayer request known, I'd like to share why I'm praising God! I applied to law school (only one and it's a Christian University), I got denied acceptance into this law school. Yep, I got my denial letter in the mail on February 18, 2005. On Wednesday, February 23, 2005, my dad and I met with the Dean of the Law School and also the Dean of Admissions. I wanted to know what went wrong from their point of view. I made a 150 on my LSAT, and I had a cumulative GPA of 3.33 which should have put me right in the middle of the row. I had previously taken my LSAT and did poorly on it--twice. (That's what happens when you are arrogant and don't study 
). Anyway, I waited 4 years to re-take my LSAT because this particular school only averages the LSAT scores for 3 years. I thought all was well--NOPE!! THIS YEAR they started averaging scores for 5 years, so my poor and embarrassing/humbling test scores were averaged in with my competitive LSAT score of 150. That's why I got denied acceptance, according to them. After meeting with the Deans, the Dean of Admissions told me that she would take my application before the Admission Board and ask them to reconsider my application. Today, she called me and told me that the Admission Board decided to put me on a 'wait list' eventhough I couldn't count on that as being admitted. I am SO thankful that I have been placed on the waiting list so at least there is a chance where there was not one before. I prayed that God would intervene as He saw fit and that if I didn't get accepted then I asked for Him to use this time for His purpose and to turn this situation around to His glory. I praise God for allowing me to have a door opened although it is not clear that I am to proceed through this door at this time.
My prayer request (yep, you guess it...keep reading) I'm asking that you pray that I do get accepted into law school, and if not that His purpose is served and that I honour Him and obey Him no matter what. There is more history here than what I have typed, but one thing I learned during my 4 years of waiting to re-take my LSAT is there is a difference between your job and your purpose. My job may be to investigate financial crimes, or be a lawyer, or teacher, etc... but my purpose is to serve His Kingdom and be a witness to the Truth.
