another sunny day

well well, another week has already gone by. and i can almost type now without looking at the keyboard. This last week has been an interesting one, I spoke at Underground, which is scary for me, but now its all over, and i found out that I have some credits from Capernwray that Prairie is accepting so i dont need to take intro to Old Testement. I will still audit the course because i enjoy learning about it, like i said last time. You would think, or at least i did, that being done speaking, and not having to to old testement homework, that i would have a second of spare time to maybe even write a journal, but it hasnt been that way yet. Perhaps its a good, at least i dont have enough time to get in any trouble. Richard seems to have been inspired recently to dream bigger, he is praying for God to allow us to double our influence this year. I catch myself doubting that a lot which is completely ridiculous, i've seen God do much greater things... somewhere else. i just need to keep remembering who the God is that i should be trusting, and forgetting about the doubts in my mind, because i do believe that with God we can double our influence this year, and probably a whole lot more beyond what i can think.

i love journaling. i have the privilege of doing it once a week or so as a part of a class i am taking on spiritual formation. the last week has been somewhat hectic, lots of things going on and starting back up. its easy to lose focus an be too concerned about the program, but last wednesday when it was all said and done, i was able to connect again with one of the youth i got to know a bit this summer, and just that, if i can encourage one person, makes it all worth it. i have been suprised with myself and how much a actually sort of like school work, not all of it, but most. learning about the old testament expecially, becuase taking time out to study the bible isn't something i do often enough. so i am really looking forward to this coming year which has already started rolling. i hope that i grasp school work a bit quicker though, so i can make room in my busy schedual for the youth, for the things that are really important.
