A decision.

Think back to a few months ago. Around November.

The time came for me to apply to university. It became clear through a series of little occurrences that I should apply for Theology.

I spent about a month finalising the ever-important personal statement, I put all my details in on UCAS and then I pressed the incredibly daunting 'send' button. My application went off into the world of admissions departments and there was nothing left for me to do, but pray.

Only a week after completing my application, I got my first offer from the university I was rooting for at the time. I was so thrilled and just crazily relieved that no matter what the other replies were, I'd had a positive response and therefore an unconditional place.

Over the next few months, a couple more offers came in. And then a week ago, I received my final offer, meaning that all five universities that I applied to, offered me a place.

I just feel so blessed and so proud of myself for the work that I put in and the way God rewarded that.

The thrill of the offers is starting to wear off a little now though because I have about a month's time to decide which of these wonderful universities to go to. All of them are amazing places with a good reputation and so much to offer me, but sadly I can only go to one of them.

I have been praying and analysing and asking and researching and making lists and generally deliberating but have come to no conclusion as yet.

I have, however, narrowed it down to three options...

Exeter
Durham
St Andrews

So please pray that I make the right decision and undoubtedly you will hear whatever that may be in a few weeks time!
