October 9, 2025 Why at this Age?

I was recently asked why am I going back to school at my age? Short answer is I want to continue to serve the Lord, and do it well. I am now 71 years old, so close to 72 I can smell  it! This year I extended my Univrsity studies and decided to try for another scholarship, for which I recived several.  Some full tuition and other partial paid tuition, but I am satisfied with the blessings God gave me. I have been facilitating Greifshare for 2-1/2 years now, going on my 10th Cycle, facilitating and/or attending. I am also going on my 5th Cycle of DivorceCare, and I have been blessed with the Holy Spirit when God decided I needed to serve and made this my calling.  The courses I am taking through Light University will help me tremendously in helping others in need.  I've always known God had a plan, but until He revealed to  me what He wanted me to do, I had no clue. I am truly blessed to be learning new ways to help, at this age. 

My curriculum at Light University are accelerated course in Christian Mental Health Coaching. I have 12 courses to complete this year.
