Update
Whew! I feel as if time has just flown by! Things have been busy and crazy here, especially since I'm in 19 credit hours this semester, but I'm so thankful for the opportunity that I have to be studying here at New Tribes Bible Institute. It's crazy to think that before I know it, I will have graduated from this place. Time just flies!
I've been learning so much. I feel like I say that all the time, but it is seriously so true. I've been learning about foundations and God has been building mine. I've been learning that my faith has been so shallow for so long and I didn't even know it. I've been seeing things from a fresh perspective, understanding things that I simply glanced over before. Having spent so much time in the Old Testament, everything in the New Testament makes so much more sense now! It's so exciting. I remember coming to school last semester and being so frustrated that we were starting in Genesis...I already knew all of those stories!! But my perspective has changed SO much since starting. My mindset has been transformed and I'm just so thankful for those gifts that God gives us of transforming our minds. Mine definitely has a far way to go, but I know He will be faithful to transform me into the image of His son.
I've been having some kidney stone trouble lately. I'm not entirely sure what's going on there, but I will be going to the doctor in a few weeks and it'll be good to have a better idea of what is going on. :)
There is a really cool passage, Luke 12:35-48, that I just read in Life of Christ. For some reason it struck me differently this time than it ever has before. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
I had the opportunity to visit a different religion this week with my school group. It was a neat experience and I feel like I really learned a lot. I even got to eat food from a different culture! YUM!
I'd love your prayer as I continue to learn more in my classes. There is so much to learn!!
