R.C. Sproul

And I went back to making lists, the advantages for going to the one school, opposed to the advantages of staying where I was, and it was overwhelming.

My bias and prejudice was coming out on my sheet as all of the reasons favored my staying where I was.

That's what I would be happy to do for the rest of my life.

Well, it finally came down to the last day of this time where I promised that I would give an answer to both sides, and

I had a student who said to me, he said, you know, you need to really be open to the leading of God in this matter, R.C.

And I said, well, I'm trying to be.

And I said, I've been praying and I don't see anything that would tell me to do anything but stay where I am.

And so that night he suggested that we pray that if God wanted me to go to Massachusetts, that He would have to let me know that night.

And so we started praying that at 7 o'clock in the evening, and we broke up at about midnight.

When it got to midnight, I said, all right, it's 12 midnight.

If God wanted to call me to Massachusetts, he's had all the opportunity in the world to do it.

And so I don't need to pray anymore.

The decision's made.

We're going to stay here.

And I'm going to see the president the first thing in the morning and give him my decision.

And so the students left our house, and Vesta and I went to bed.

And we were so excited when we went to bed because the decision had been made.

And we were so comfortable in the decision.

It was like a load had fallen off my back.

So we went to sleep.
