Seminary


I had this romantic idea when I began seminary that I would be able to make it to B&N every night for at least 2 hours of reading.  I thought that I’d be able to balance work and school and life.  I thought that I would be able to make school a priority.

The reality:  not so much.  I have responsibilities.  I kind of like having a car.  I like having a job.  So, I find myself in a bit of a pickle.  Right now, school has to be on the back burner.  I’m doing my work, but I’m not dedicating myself 100% to the cause.  I’m still doing well…but not the level of work I’d like to do.  I know that there is some lesson in here somewhere.  I just don’t know what it is.

Please pray that God would direct my steps.  Right now I am a bit perplexed.  But…God is God, no matter what.  God knows the beginning from the end, so He knows where this is going.  And I trust Him.

After getting an abysmal grade on a quiz (an open-book, open-note online, one hour quiz) I was questioning my study habits, my time management, everything about my participation in seminary.

Well, I wrote a journal critique (which took me FOREVER because of my perfectionism) and I got a 100%.  My professor said it was excellent.

I need prayer.  This is going to be a longggggg three years if I don’t chill out a bit.
