Right now I'm struggling with the second use of the word the act of accepting with approval; favorable reception; I have decided to go to Bible College long ago and my friends seemed to accept that. But Recently I have considered going on to Seminary which if you didn't know is the training to become a Reverend or Pastor you go to Seminary to Get a Masters of Divinity. My friends sort of gave me a weird look and then played it off like sort of a joke. I feel like my life and there life's are not similar anymore the connection is kind of gone. I love them and care about them but at the same time I don't feel accepted.
