my desire to share the gospel with people, not only because of the need I saw there but because the need it reminded me of at home. God has shown me a lot about walking in trust with Him and following where He leads me. Your conviction about how the Lord is leading you to seminary: Over the last few years, the Lord has really guided and led me to the point I am today. I had made my plans and had great ideas of what I wanted to do with the degree I was earning at Stephen F. Austin State University. However, in going to college and getting involved in ministry and my church, I gained a really wonderful community. The plan I had would have meant an internship in Dallas and less time in Nacogdoches, where I had a great community and was a part of valuable ministry. By choosing to stay in Nacogdoches, I had to give up what I wanted to do and trust where God was leading me. Through doing this, I grew a lot in my relationship with God. Over all, as I researched degrees and careers, I came across counseling. Counseling partners my degree in Child Development with a wonderful opportunity to help child and families. In researching schools, I was told by a friend to look into DTS. As I did, I got more and more excited about the opportunity to help children and families by pointing them to God through counseling. I’ve studied children and families and done mission trips. The more I’ve done the more aware I am of our basic human need for God. I believe that at the root of the issues…

There are four types of external-beam radiation therapy: Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), Proton beam therapy, and Stereotactic radiation therapy. 3D-CRT has special computers creating detailed 3D pictures of the cancer allowing the treatment team to target the beam more accurately.

As a young armadillo growing up in Texas during the 1820s, my life was peaceful and happy. The Federalists who held power in Mexico left me, my fellow armadillos, and the Anglo Americans alone to enjoy and work the land. However, in 1829, the Centralists gained control of the Mexican government and the freedom we enjoyed gradually eroded. As the Mexican government imposed more regulations on the Anglo Americans, the tension which had existed between the two groups due to the Nacogdoches land…
