Big Day, Big Stuff

Monday was a BIG day around here.  Tommy completed and sent in his first official college application.  His first choice continues to be Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.  How many times do you think we have told people "Yes, Ohio University, no NOT Ohio State.  It is 1 hour 45 minutes SOUTH of Columbus and Ohio State."  We are still praying over the direction for Tommy's future.  He is planning on completing the "Common Application" as well which includes many schools,  Iowa State, Ohio State, Northwestern University in St Paul and many many more all in ONE application.

Ohio University HAS the major he wants and seems to truly CARE about their students and looks at college as the beginning of a career not just 4 years of school and then...best wishes.  Tommy has ALWAYS always ALWAYS wanted to work for Nike.  Or do something like a Nike.  He LOVES marketing and LOVES the thrill of sports, sports apparel and shoes.  Did I mention the kid LOVES shoes?  I mean LOVES Nike shoes....

SO as he clicked SUBMIT on his application I gulped and said a prayer.  "Dear Lord, please guide this son of ours.  Please guide him to where YOU want him to be.  Help us to be content in whatever that answer is.  Most of all Lord, we want him to LOVE YOU and to have YOU first in his life.  If his heart TRULY follows you, all will be well.  Amen."

BIG stuff people...BIG stuff.
