Winter Term Recap
I've got to stop ignoring my precious journal. It's been sitting here for weeks on end without any updates. Well, I'll just have to do something about that...
Anyway, today I closed the door on my second winter term at Furman. In several ways, this year was just as brutal as last year, maybe even more so. There are so many things that I can point to. I had a contemptable professor who never had the same answer for me twice (if at all). Another professor who misinformed us about our exam dates and ended up pushing our major project for the course forward by a week's time when I was barely halfway done. A subject I have all the love and appreciation in the world for turned into one that gave me fits thanks to the approach it was given. Rounds and rounds of discussion potential thrown off to the wayside in favor of piles of paperwork to give off the impression that I was back in middle school Social Studies class. My mother enduring another bout with surgery, no snow days to be found, and on top of it all, I lost my job.
But you know what? I'm not going to worry about any of that. It's over now and behind me. I prefer to look at all the ways God blessed me these past couple of months. We had a great series on love at BCM, two friends of mine are lined up to do a song interpretation for our Easter TNT (yes, Amanda and Dorothy, I am referring to you), I met new friends and grew closer to old ones, I created a Powerpoint presentation that I ended up having a lot of fun with, we had some awesome Bible Study nights with C.S. Lewis and Mere Christianity, I have my beloved Anne books back and Amanda enjoyed them :), and today was a nice, warm day and I'm back home.
As for my job situation, I'm braced for whatever happens. At least I still have the Greenville Mall, for however long it lasts, to fall back on. I know God is in control of everything and that He will provide the answer for this just as He has done for all of my prayers. For now, I'm content to enjoy a welcome break. Thank God for that.
Song of the Day: Rebecca St. James - "Come Quickly, Lord"
Verse of the Day: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left." - Matthew 25:31-33
