The holidays are over for now. The rip-roar has calmed down, and people are realizing that daily routine has reared its head once again. For me, the daily routine is a new school semester. Stress is mounting as I read over more and more syllabi. My aim, of course, is to be a better steward of my time and tasks at hand. This is my aim every semester, but I pray now that God will give me the grace and discipline to finish all and finish well.
I think my spiritual growth stalled at least some during my sophomore and junior years here at MBU. I plan to post in segments a paper I recently wrote that details this stall. It is my expectation that in light of going through the season I did and writing about it, I will serve the Lord this semester with a healthier heart and more consciously.
I do not have hope in myself. But I do have hope in God.
