Tomorrow we jump into the book of Numbers. We go through a book a week here. When I say, 'we go through a book a week' I mean, we go through a book a week. By the time all of our homework is accomplished we have read through it at least four times- or skimmed it again and again- type deal. Who knew those people who wrote the bible dictionaries would ever be so helpful to me!!! It moves so fast I fear I am not going to really get it. But then, we'll have a conversation and I will be shocked at what just came out of my mouth...'hey, I retained that!! Praise God, may I always retain that!'
I think they are just going to keep adding a new task with each book for awhile but right now we are breaking down paragraphs and doing paragraph titles, we do charts of each chapter- observing, interpreting, and finding a timeless truth for each. Timelines are going to be added as are full vertical charts, which probably means nothing to you, but let me tell you I am NOT looking forward to that~ ooftah.
I had a moment this last week where I was fully into a homework session and I realized...this is my lifestyle now. Homework. Everything is geared around it... when can I do it, how long can I do it for, when can I stop?!! How far will I get in my homework today, will I finish well on time? I DO NOT want to be cramming it together last minute...ever~ please, Jesus, let me always accomplish it well and plenty early. Crunchtime makes me anxious. I hate being late or rushing. I hate it with a passion. (Can someone say, 'control issues, boys and girls?!) It is every bit as intense as I believed it would be. And every bit as wonderful.
Thank you so much, to those who prayed or supported to help me so far, and please... please... pray and consider helping me in future. I cannot express all that God is doing and going to prepare me for. I remember dear Mother Dee Dee praying over me and receiving that 'these hands are going to bring healing to the Nations.' I knew it was true, as insane and crazy as it was that it was being said of me. What is interesting is that it has already started... Oh, I have to write and tell you about my friend, we'll call him Sven. But not tonight. (teaser, there.) This campus is FULL of the Nations. There are 6 different nations represented in my dorm room alone. Healing is happening, and I believe in Healing. I've seen it, I've received it, and I have been blessed to see it happen through me. His hand is at work. His mighty mighty hand.
Please comment sometimes when you read, I would so love to hear from you.
