Well, I haven't written anything in a very long time and this is not really something that is going to be profound or deep theology. It is just a few thoughts about the upcoming year. Now don't get me wrong I know it is not January 1st and a new year in that way but it is a new year in many other ways.
First off it is the start of a new school year. Last Monday night of the first night of class. It was very interesting I am taking 4 classes this semester thinking it would be great and being able to move on with my degree. Well the very first night I have Old Testament survey and then Systematic Theology, boy that is a mouth full. I have papers to write in each and a lot of reading. Then on Tuesday night I have Church History and Teaching methods. I am really looking forward to all these classes they are just going to take a lot of time, a lot of pray and a lot of studing and reading.
Then there is the next new beginning. This Sunday will be that last Sunday to have all my girls in class together. Next Sunday which is the first Sunday in September some of my girls will be moving up to the senior high class. I know they will be fine it is just hard to let go sometimes. I have seen each of them grow so much. But then the Lord is blessing me with a class full of great girls that are moving up to junior high. Not only are we having new kids we are also starting to us a new curriculim which I am so excited about. I really think the youth will enjoy it.
We are also finishing up with our discipleship training "Experiencing God" youth edition and will be moving on to our next class. I am so looking forward to seeing where God is leading this group. Well, that is just a few new beginnings I am truly excited about.
