Refreshing

You know that funny arrow at the top of your browser that you click on and you get to see your web page again, all nice and new? Yea... that's the one I keep clicking on right now. This morning I brought the past seven weeks to an end with the final exam for Greek. What a crazy concept that I am done now! This has been the longest seven weeks of my life and probably the most rewarding. Not that long ago, I couldn't make any since of those funny looking things in my pretty blue New Testament (the only thing I did understand was the latin on the front telling me that it was the New Testament), now I can read it and make sense of a lot of it.

I look back on the blogs and see the number of times I mentioned something about how you can do anything with God, and I think today proved that. I think a lot of the time I was more saying that for me as a reminder or to maybe convince myself, because in all honesty, there were some times I wasn't so sure it was true (I am sure we have all had those moments). Kinda like when you were high school and liked someone but kept putting out reasons why you couldn't, in hopes that you might actually believe it one day and get over them. Yea, same thing here. But it IS true and you CAN do ANYTHING when you let God take control. Even Greek.

So at this point, I have put my books on my bookshelf and mixed them in with the others and thrown my flashcards right beside my notebook on the bottom shelf. It is time to hit "refresh" on my life, and that began this afternoon. I am very eagerly awaiting tomorrow morning when I hit the road to Raleigh for a week. When I get there, my nieces will be at my house and my parents will be all too ready to and them over to Aunt Jrory and I will be all too ready to take them! I can HOPEFULLY remember what it is like to have my sweet little kitten purring next to me all night (I bought her a toy today in hopes of bribing her), and I can relax and just enjoy myself without feeling guilty that I am not studying. I may or may not update on here (probably will since I will finally be able to think about things other than Greek), I may or may not even turn on my computer some days.

I think if I had learned nothing in Greek, I would have learned something this summer- I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to go down this road answering a call from God, and there is no greater blessing than a day with no studying!

Now, as I hit "refresh" for the thousandth time today as I wait for my grade, I'm going to hit "refresh" on my life. You do the same! There is something very refreshing about it...




oh no. I am on the right path... corny jokes that should never be said outloud... I knew I was called to be a minister. Unfortunately there is no congregation feeling obligated to laugh yet!
