Summa-Time!!!!
Well, for starters I can hardly believe that I've just finished my first year at seminary. I've already learned so much in just this short period of time it blows my mind. Things are still cookin @ UPS I just wish with summer time came the ability to work longer and earn more money. The prospects of finding another job are pretty grim. Which would really help in the money dept.
Thats the one difficulty that I've really had to get used to so far here at seminary. I make just enough to clear my expenses and I hardly have anything left over. I'd love to be able to save as much as I can but in all reality I just can't. I'm that every current or former seminarian would be able to give testimony to this very situation. Still through it all I'm thankful that I'm able to meet my financial obligations; cause truth be told it could be the other way around. I'm thankful for parents who with financial difficulties of their own find ways to help me when I need it the most.
One thing that I've learned here is that the grade is not always a reflection of what you learned. My first semester is a clear indication of that fact. I learned so much but you wouldn't think so to look at my grades.
My hope is to try to get some reading done this summer. I've got 2 John Piper books that I got for Christmas that I want to read "Future Grace", and "When I don't desire God: How to Fight For Joy"
When I get'em read I'll be sure to post reviews about them.
