My entire life I have been in church, raised in a Christian family, and very aware of God. But one specific time that God really spoke to me was my senior year of high school. I had planned on not going to college, even though my parents were showing me dozens of Christian universities I should choose.
That summer before senior year, I went on a mission trip to Argentina. While there, I shared about my plans to not continue schooling with the missionary. As we were leaving, she pulled me aside and said “Hannah, I believe you need to go to university.” To which I replied, “great thanks, I’m not though”. For the next four months I could not get her words out of my head.
So finally, I prayed for the Lord to show me what university I should attend if that was His will. I searched “Christian college in Midwest” and only one result was on every single page of google, a university I had never heard of from my parents research—how insane is that? I said “okay God, I’ll go but I need a scholarship.” He gave me enough to cover 75% of my first year. Next I prayed to be in Livingston dorm on the second floor with a great roommate (demanding, I know), and He did that.
It was mind boggling to me that God cared about me so much, and clearly wanted me to attend this university so I finally agreed with Him.
If I hadn’t gone, I would have never met my husband. So for that alone, I’ll forever be thankful God didn’t give up on pushing me.
