Time to pray...

Well, actually, that should probably be my title for another entry that is currently sitting in a word document on my desktop because it's not finished yet... but still...

I say it's time to pray because today, I finished my orientation for DivSchool. The orientation itself was great, and the other students that came were very helpful, and I really enjoyed myself. However, it also leaves me in this place where I'm like "AHH!! Can I do this????"...

I'm still short on my medical forms. Praying UNCG does my records quickly so I can go ahead and get that behind me. And then it's time for books and such. Bought some that I'll need the very first day, but then I'll have a whole bunch more to buy after that.

AND, I have papers due the first day of class. ::sigh:: I don't know why I'm doing this or even if I'm capable of doing this. It's going to take a lot of planning. I love where I live, but I wonder if commuting is just going to make it that much more difficult, you know?

But really. It doesn't seem like a lot, but who really knows until I'm in there.

My schedule is like this:
MWF: Hebrew
T/Th: OT Interpretation, Art of MInistry, History of Christianity, History of Baptists

That's it. It's the two history classes that I think will honestly have the most work in them. Baptist History isn't an examination class, but it does require papers for every meeting.

It's time for me to buy a bigger calendar.

Pray for me as I begin this journey. In the next couple days I will finish up the entry on prayer that I have, and I will share that with you all, as well.

Different

You know, there are a lot of devotionals out there. A lot of people who are reading the Word and then sharing what they've read. People who remind us of the truths presented throughout those pages.

I want this blog to be different. Of course, I'm always reflecting on what I'm learning and reading and the truths of God, but I want people to see the real struggles and joys of life in this blog. I'm not "better than" anyone else, I'm just a person. And *this* person, when feeling really down, can even be DIScouraged by someone just quoting lines to me. I need to know that I'm not alone. Don't act high and mighty, act like a person. So I'm going to act like a person. I don't want to be "preachy". I want to be REAL. The world needs more real.

I have internet now at my house. This is really the first fully available, strong, reliable internet that I've had since my return from overseas. Now, I can get back to writing.
