I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks. With work and class, which I only 8 weeks left. I am very excite to be done, but I am also very interested in the class I am taking right now. I am in a class on the Exposition of Deuteronomy. I know it sounds boring, but it really isn't, this book is important for understanding most of the Old Testament and the nature of covenant relationships in general. I am enjoying it a lot. It has implications on how we are to live today, and what our relationship to God is based on and what it is to look like.
In regards to my progress with CAI, I am almost done with the application process. I have an interview with one of their staff and then they decide if I am approved as a missionary for them. I am looking forward to this interview, one because I love to interview, it is a sick pleasure of mine. I love to interview and to be interviewed, its a great way to find out about people and about yourself. Anyway, after that is finished I can proceed to raising money, wahoo. I am for once also, looking forward to this part. I am at a point where it is very exciting to see that people want to support me and be part of what God is doing. This is the most exciting part of this whole process, because it is affirming to my current direction.
As far as my growth in this time, God has been working on me in the area of discipline. Being a student is great and takes discipline, but as most all of you know, its not the same as having a full time job. God has been challenging me to change some of my habits in life in preparation for being in full time ministry. This has been hard, but as usual good. It is always hard to change patterns in your life that have been there for years, but I am motivated and have a lot of support around me. I feel as though my student days are winding down, my professional life it starting to gear up, it is an exciting time for me, one that I have waited for, for a long time.
I do appreciate all you encouragement and prayers, thank you all
