Lee University
We got back about 1:30 this morning from our college visit to Lee University What an experience! It takes about 6 hrs to get there unless you run into construction in Kentucky and move about 2 miles an hour! It was well worth the time The campus is beautiful It reminds me of Miami U in Oxford with less trees We went with John, Karen, and Shelby Stevens ( Thanks for driving John :) which made the trip a lot of fun
I had asked for prayer that God make it known if this was the right place and I had an absolute peace the entire time we were there One of my biggest concerns was that it was Church of God but that was immediately a nonissue It was so obvious from the president to the faculty to the students that their focus is on Christ and developing your child's walk and they have a huge passion for the community locally as well as globally They have many denominations of students and faculty represented and it was clear that they were not out to cram their denomination down anyone's throat I did have to laugh at the boldness of one woman who told the president that she always thought of Church of God as being 3 steps away from "snake handling" Every question and concern was answered very honestly
Kristen had her audition for the music dept She felt good about her performance and she will know in about 2 weeks if she is accepted into the music dept Our major obstacle will be her Act/SAt scores and that is in God's hands as we speak because she is taking her ACT this morning
When Kristen and I were walking in the building after she was done with her audition she said "I feel like this is where God wants me to be " I felt that same feeling
The highlight was when the "Voices of Lee" performed They are 15 kids who have the most beautifully blended voices They travel all over the country and world
It was interesting to find out if you watch 722 with Louie Giglio that Steve Fee graduated from there but with a communication degree He does come back there many times It's only 2 hrs from 722 so alot of there students go down there as well through the year and Louie has been there to speak for chapel
Thanks for the prayers We'll see what happens

Kristen told me it was beautiful down there. I think i'm going to check it out. It seems like it's a good fit for her. I had no idea that 722 was that close. I sent an application to Lee a couple days ago. Ill pray for you guys in the whole college process. YOU FINALLY GOT YOUR BLOG...
