I started this final semester a little behind. Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to a wedding in PA. My roomate from when I was a student at Northland Baptist Bible College was getting married. It had been a while since I had seen him and the others from Northland who were there, so it was a great time of fellowship and encouragement. However, I had to take cuts from school for the first two days of classes. I did not realize how much it would set me back.
I figured that the first day of classes is merely a session of overview and hand-outs, so i did not think that it would be to critical to miss. However, I didn’t really take into account the fact that I didn’t have my syllabi or my textbooks and that I wouldn’t even be able to get them until we were already into quizzable material. So, needless to say, I started out more behind than I had planned.
The other thing was that I wasn’t really mentally prepared to come back. Probably because I was enjoying my time with my friends in PA too much, I was not ready to jump right into classes and books; but ready or not here they are.
This week has been a little overwhelming on a number of fronts; however, God has graciously seen me through it. I am one week closer to graduation!!! I am still trying to gain my footing and am unsure of a lot of things in different areas of my life, but i was just reminded of the truth that he formed me. He knows my frame that I am just dust. And His thougthts of me and ways for me are far above me. They are too wonderful for me, I can’t even conceive of them. Praise the Lord for his perfect wisdom and His power to carry it out. I am humbled to think that He would care for me.
Praising Him,
this is “grace at work”
