Well the summer semester of school is coming to an end, THANK GOD! Not that I haven't enjoyed the challenge and actually having to think, but I'm just plain tired. Then, less than a month later the fall semester will begin and here we go again. I know God wants me to be a teacher. When He first told me that, had I known the path I would be taking, I don't think I would have done it. It's not bad enough for me to quit, but at the time my spiritual and intellectual maturity were not at the place that they are now. I'm not saying I am some spiritual and/or intellectual giant. It's just that having to go through each and every little thing (sometimes one at a time and sometimes more than that) has given me a tough skin so to speak. He has never given me more than I can handle. I, on the other hand, have taken things into my own hands and piled too much on. Of course He helped me to get through that, too. When I first started my journey to becoming a teacher, I was excited. I genuinely loved going to school, and I still do to some to degree. However, dealing with all of the politics and hassles at the school has been tough. It's like they say though: "It's better to be with Jesus in the middle of the storm than it is to be without Him in the calm," or something like that. Who is they? They are the universal they, responsible for everything. Ok, so I'm kidding. Anyhoo, back to what I was saying. I love being challenged in school, and once again I follow the pattern in my other blogs: complain, complain, complain. However, I hope it can be seen that I do rely on Jesus, and it is because of Him that my situations are resolved. :)
On a side note: I recommend that everybody see the movie The End of the Spear, and the accompanying documentary Beyond the Gates of Splendor.
Now I know if anyone is actually reading this, the college student has made some grammatical errors. I beg your forgiveness and offer the excuse that it is late and I am tired. ;)
Thanks for reading.
