Finally

Last night I finally finished my spring semester of college. I turned in my research paper over The Glass Menagerie and I hope that it was good enough. This last semester was the hardest semester of college that I have ever had, and that is probably due to the fact that I have so many things on my plate at once. However, the Lord has used this to stretch me and help me understand that I MUST rely His strength. As I was reading The Promise and the Blessing: A Historical Guide to the Old and New Testament. I started to understand that I didn’t know much about the history behind the lives that the prophets, disciples, and other characters mentioned in the Bible had.

Paul is my favorite character in the Bible because he is an encouragement to me. It is amazing that even though he was being persecuted and looked down upon he was still able to praise the Lord. There are times in my life, these past few weeks, when I feel weighted down and I don’t know how I can possibly go on, but after looking at Paul’s life I praise God that I haven’t been through all the trials he went through. In his letter to James he tells us to, “Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds.” As I walk away from this semester I am more aware of the intended messages that each letter Paul wrote to the churches and various people.

I know am working on summer classes. I am taking a Visual Basic, computer programming, class and a Philosophy class. It goes through July 4, and if you could be praying for me that I would remember what it was like to get behind in classes and that I would not do that ever again. Please also pray that I will be a witness to the soldiers at my National Guard unit in Shreveport, LA. Also, for finances to continue with my year here.
