Could it be?!

Over the past week I have been visiting family in Kansas, mainly to help with my cousin's open house and to go to his graduation. Our trip was good, I got to see my family and spend time with my cousins. We did the LONG car ride there in one day, and we decided to do the same on the way home. As we were on our way home my mom called dad, not out of the ordinary. He was on his way to work and it all seemed very casual. Until my dad started talking about some sort of something that had my mom giving strange responses. Now, I was NOT eavesdropping - there is no way NOT to listen to a conversation with 4 people in an impala going cross country. I could only hear my mom's end of the conversation, to be honest it sounded grim. I'll admit that I'm a little bit paranoid about these conversations. Ever since the phone call of "Honey, I'm going to Iraq in 5 months and there's nothing that can be done to change it!" Knowing that my father is getting deployed (AGAIN) this fall, it seems that news can only continue to get worse. I get very suspicious of coversations where mom says things like "Wow!...Are you sure?!...they won't change their minds?!...Why?" Well, this time. When my mom got off the phone she looked at me and said "Jackie, are you ready for this?" my heart sunk, my stomach rolled and I replied "Probably not" She continued on with the information anyways. "Jackie, dad was online all last night and he found something out. He can transfer his GI to you!" Now, I know that you all havn't been raised in a military home, so i'll pan out how much information is actually loaded in that sentance. The GI bill is an opportunity for service men to get up to 3 years of free university education, at the college or university of their choice. MY dad is able to transfer those rights, to ME! This means he will be unable to take college courses paid for. But this means for me, depending on the colleges or universities the GI pays for Tuition, room and board, books and sometimes even personal expenses. The GI does NOT make me ineligable for any other scholarships or grants, so anything it may not cover is still possibly covered by scholarships!!! So, to me this means. Throw out the inhabitions of wondering IF i'll ever be able to pay off college debt, or if I should just go to community college. As long as the college excepts the GI bill the army will pay. So if the christian Universities I am looking at accept the GI, I can go there and not have to worry that my parents will be bogged down with a high tuition, or that I will be pinned with student debt for the rest of my life. 3 years of a FREE education! ...after all the rude and hateful remarks i've made, perhaps the Army National Gaurd isn't entirely screwed up. Now, they are still deploying my father....again. And yes they are being absolute retards about it. But they are now seeming to take care of their men and families a little better in the past year or so, and with this - I like 'em even more. Could this be Lord?! I've prayed and prayed about how to find a way to pay for an education, if I should get a college education... and now I can!! I can pursue my passions of communication and Singing in a University setting and do well, without the worry of the rest of my life! Now to figure out everything and all the decisions that go with this!
