Floating between schools

Sometimes I really hate the time between schools. As of right now, I'm trying my best to prepare for the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) which starts in Sept. It's going to be a very intensive training course as we'll read thru the Bible 5 times in 9 months. I'm excited, but also nervous. I don't feel like I'm a good enough student for this, but I know that God has called me to do it. I'm so excited to get to know God's word so much better! It's absolute truth. I'm so convinced that God wants each of us to dive deep into his word... I can't wait to know it better! I pray more than anything that this school won't be about knowledge tho... I want wisdom. I want a deeper relationship with my Lord. There's nothing better in life than Him.. than His love.

Currently I'm trying to find a job to help raise some extra money to support the SBS. I'm still helping with the July DTS but in a lower capacity. My biggest goal during this last month before the SBS is to spend time in God's presence.... to come in charging and refreshed. I also really want to help the DTS students discover their passions and callings before they head back home. I hope to be a resource for them... but that involves lots of reading and research myself. So... I'll be spending lots of time at starbucks reading... ha. such a rough life. But I'm so convinced that God has big plans for these students and I really want to help them so if it means reading the majority of the time... i'm ready to do it. Good prep for SBS anyway!

please be praying that this last month before SBS is refreshing and God works in and thru me. It's been tough being here this winter honestly. I've felt pretty discouraged and homesick. But God is so good. I believe He's preparing me for bigger trials in the future and I want to step up to the challenge. This can only be achieved by total dependence on God... something I still have much to learn about.

I know I kinda just rambled about a lot of things... there are so many things I've been learning that it's hard to consolidate them. As I get better at blogging regularly I think it should be easier to sort out these thoughts.

as for now, just pray. for the school, for a deeper friendship with God, for refreshment...

thanks for your prayers. :)
