College Life

As I wrap up a 40 hour intensive week as part of my final class for Seminary, I reflect on my Professor's assertion that Seminary is a great depository of knowledge. My assessment is that I've deposited everything I thought I knew when I entered Seminary and instead of answers, all I have is questions as I wrap up the process. As important as learning is experience, and you can't get that sitting in a classroom. It's been interesting to sit in class all week. I didn't have your "traditional" college experience, so to go to class all day, eat lunch in the cafeteria, and hang out in the library on break has made me wonder what that would've been like. I guess I'll never know - I spent my "college years" jumping out of airplanes, running around Korea, and freezing in upstate New York. Through the Army tour, I earned the life experience that my college eventually thought was worth 32 semester hours, enabling me to get my undergraduate degree in 18 months. Thank goodness for that! God has a plan for His children that works for His glory (Rom. 8:28). The one thing I can depend on in the midst of so many new questions is that He loves me, He'll never leave me, and has given me His Holy Spirit to guide me into peace!
