What the end of the Earth looks like
So I’ve dropped off the face of the world for the past two weeks and I can tell you it hurts. Left me with a naggin’ cough and some sleeping issues. The last one and a half weeks of school have been the worse one and a half weeks of school ever. Started with a 411 assignment that I had to teach people how to do, then Thanksgiving dinner which is good but left my Saturday shot. CS421 exam on Tuesday which left little time to study. 8-9 page Relst paper due at the same time as a working model of our 411 semester project. All this on top of small group responsibilities and a small group photo that’s still not done yet. I got it all done (save the photo) but I was seriously lacking in the sleep dept. Despite all this, I’m thankful. Why? B/c my friends have it alot rougher. I just look at them and they don’t sleep. One’s sleep walking from his desk to his bed and without knowing it because he’s so tired. I look at them and I can’t complain. Even though I’m sick, God gave me a week to catch up and rest and let my body heal. Thank God!
I get home and what does my dad talk about on the way back from the airport? My last post about finding a wife. My parents are talking about that more and more to me. Honestly, I appreciate the concern, but I have no doubt that if God wants me to have a wife, he’ll let me know who and when. He hasn’t let me down yet and I know that I’m walking in his will. There are still some issues I need to work out. One of them is still trying to be content with celibacy. I just don’t see what God would have me do if I were to remain single. I totally want to raise a Godly family and I can see myself doing that but being single . . . what work is there for me there? I think God’s waiting for me to let go before he shows me the next step.
Bible reading’s been good. I just finished Proverbs but I skipped Psalms. I’d like to get through Jeremiah after break but I dunno if that’s possible. We’ll see (and read). I’m learning so much by reading it all at once. Seldom do you get to see the Bible big picture and that’s what I’m getting a view of. If only I didn’t have to read multiple books in a day. I’ll leave you with this humorous quote. (note: humorous does not mean funny)
1 Chronicles 25:5 All these were sons of Heman the king’s seer. They were given him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
