End of my first year...

So, the summer has been productive up until this point. Serving as a youth intern has been awesome. We have just finished Summer Bible College--an extension of Vacation Bible School aimed at Middle School aged kids. The week was better than anyone could have expected; however, it is a beautiful thing that it is finished. I attended my first "Workshop" of my Seminary career. A workshop is basically a semester-long class shoved into a week's time frame. It's a great way to speed up the Seminary experience. I have one more paper to finish before my summer officially starts. I'm looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that will come my way in the form of trips and speaking opportunities.

To be completely honest, this has been the weirdest school year of my life. Right now, I have 11 credit hours completed with a GPA of 1.93. This is very unorthodox I know, but I feel like this has been a year of incredible growth and productivity. Playing catch-up will be tough, but worth it. At the end of the next school year, God willing, I will have about 45 credit hours and be close to half-way finished with my Master's Degree. We'll see how that goes though...

I've decided to move back to New Orleans to finish my degree. I'll stay on campus and hopefully find a church in which to serve as well as a job. It'll be nice to be taking a full load along with being close to home and Elise. These are my plans, but I am flexible, and willing to do whatever God would have me do.
