There's just something about a dramatic finish, I guess. But I do know that the answers come.

He didn't even get an interview, despite the fact that he was being actively recruited by several major universities. Later we learned that his app was denied because his chosen research emphasis would be seen as "detracting from" the attention the work of tenured professors there were getting. <BR/><BR/>But what is really interesting was that the time the process took kept us in one place long enough for a major job opportunity to come along, that will directly facilitate his doctoral research through a less prestigious university. So we don't have to live in an RV and starve while he goes back to school, and his new job allows him to complete his research data collection as a matter of course. <BR/><BR/>Even though he's not going to his first choice school and he ended up passing up offers at his 2nd & 3rd choice schools to go to this one, I know that where we are now is God's plan for our family.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-28188833518053698072007-12-26T10:12:00.000-08:002007-12-26T10:12:00.000-08:00Oh, hon, I'm so sorry.
