Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. It's where I felt called to. I had a prophetic word that I honestly felt confirm it. It was actually a suggestion from this prophetic person, but I actually felt it was the type of suggestion when my parents suggest I clean my room. I especially felt this way since it was a couple of days after my pastor suggested the same thing.
I went. I ended up having to drop out half way through first year.
I wouldn't let it go. I ended up having to leave Redding, California, but still had it on my heart.
I re-applied earlier in the new year.
This week I got a letter saying that right now they feel I'm better suited for Bethel School of Supernatural Discipleship at this time. Basically, it was a nice way of telling me I'm not in.
I felt they had a wrong evaluation of my current situation. Mark Brookes told me to get in touch with my previous revival group pastor to talk about it and then they'll take another look at the application.
I wrote my revival group pastor. But both her and her husband were out on missio trips this week. They should be back next week.
But increasingly, I've had Southern California on my mind. Maybe it's God.
The economy isn't good anywhere in California. But it's where I believe God is calling me. But if you absolutely need a job, there's two places where you absolutely do not want to go, Fresno and Redding.
San Diego has been on my mind lately. There's another ministry school I am looking into there. It has a lot of the same things Bethel has anyway. It's just smaller.
San Diego is an expensive place to live. However, jobs are much more available than they are in Redding.
At this point, I could find out that I'm back in BSSM after they review everything again. But I'm not going to count on it. I am going to count on God! I definitely believe in having faith! But I also believe there's wisdom too. I took the risk (twice, actually) in going to Redding. San Diego, being a place where it's more expensive to live, is a big risk too. I could choose to go to Redding and try to look for a job, but from my experience over the two years I was there, at least for me, it probably won't happen so easily.
I could go to San Diego. I may have to couch surf for a little bit. But I can find a job. Yes, it's a risk, but I think it's the better risk and at this point I believe it's way more worth taking than going back to Redding.
As far as the work I'm doing, well after talking with the person I'm working for this week, there's no real guarantee that I'll have enough work coming in. That was kind of a downer compared to my previous talks with him. He said I would definitely need to find another job and not rely on the work I'm currently doing when I go back to Redding. Well I've been through the Redding job search before. It's incredibly difficult to find one and then once you've got it, it's incredibly difficult to keep it. I've known so many people who lost their jobs and over silly sounding reasons too, just because the economy has never been that great there. They look for reasons to get rid of you.
I have no experience in San Diego. But I do know it's way more prosperous. There's far more jobs that are right up my alley.
I think after weighing my options, San Diego is the better option for me at this time.

It's good to hear your story. I am sure that whatever you do, God will bless you in that decision. I am going to pray that you are able to find a job soon and are able to move with ease.
