So it's been a little crazy: School
It has been a really long time since I've posted anything. I'll try and give some recaps of what has been going on--it won't be too in depth because there is so much. I think I'll do this in sections for easy reading
School- School is great, though incredibly busy. For example here is the schedule of my busiest day:
Monday
wake up 7:00am
Class- 8:00-1:00
Office Hours: 1:15-2:15
Free time: 2:15-3:45
SGA Meeting 4:00-5:30ish
Dinner 5:30-6:00
Get ready for meeting 6:00-6:30
Senate Meeting 6:45-8:30
Homework: 8:45-11:00
Time for people: 11:00-12:00ish
Bed: sometime between 12:00 and 1:00
My classes are going well. I'm taking Greek and am really enjoying it. It is challenging and I feel like this will be really useful in my personal devotions and future educational endeavors (seminary maybe. I don't know). I'm also taking Church History I. It's really amazing to see how different theology emerged in the midst of controversy and heresy. So far the homework isn't too bad, but I need to work ahead on things.
Because I'm so busy it is hard to find time to spend with people. I am slowly building relationships with new students. That is hard because I love being connected with the Sterling community and feel like that the greatest way to impact people is not from my desk in the SGA office (not to downplay the importance of having this position at all!) , but by being in the everydayness of life with people.
My responsibilities as SGA student chaplain are going well. Sometimes there are little tasks like running the projector and powerpoint things during chapel. Right now I'm focusing on forming our 3rd praise band from scratch. It's brand new with brand new people. Also, I am seeking God's guidance on how to best minister to the rest of the SGA Executive Cabinet team. There are very few people on campus who truly understand the sacrifice of time, energy, and personal interests that SGA makes for this campus. I'm mostly focusing on encouraging them, praying for them, and giving them the resources they need to thrive in their personal relationship with God. I am learning a lot! And God is humbling me more than I had anticipated. I'm also preparing to lead a Bible study in my dorm, which will start next week.
So there it is. Life has been a little crazy at School.
