Outer Part of the Plate

So it has been a couple of weeks... my endearing fans wait no longer!

I am free for the summer!! (from school at least!) Last week I finished my semester for seminary!! I am finished my first year of Greek and I came out of it with an A God is so good. When I started Greek last fall getting through the first year seemed so far away! but thanks to perseverance and dedication I was able to do well in the class and now I am very excited to start year two!! I learned so much in Greek and I was very blessed to have an amazing professor, who loves the Word and loves students. Going into the second year, I know that it will get tougher and the diagramming harder but I know that I can do it now and I look forward to the academic challenge... You can never learn enough!

On the homefront.... My Pastor challenged everyone on Sunday to wake up 30 Minutes earlier for 21 days and spend it reading the Bible and praying and growing deeper in our relationship with the Lord. For me it is a big challenge seeing that I love my beauty sleep or lack thereof!! I have found that these mornings when I have spent time with God, The days even when crap happens are still good days and I feel more in-tuned with the Holy Spirit and closer to God.

He has been revealing things in my life that I need to let go and giving me encouragement, that I should not worry about failing at anything, because even if I do fail at something, I can still take something good away from that experience. This revelation has given me a bigger passion to pursue my dreams.

Also I think that Satan is trying to distract me and has been trying to get me to focus on other things than the Lord and there is one area where he has been trying to hit me hard in. Today was good because I was able to talk about with a couple of friends of mine, and I feel so much better and like that was all I need to do to overcome this problem. Hopefully I will still feel this way tomorrow.
