There's 3 weeks of classes left until finals. yay? Maybe not so much. Although I cannot wait to be done with school for a time, this only means the hardest part of the semester is that much closer!
Its alright I suppose.
papers...
It's 2:30am local time here in louisville... and, here i am... typing a paper...
I only finished the reading for this book yesterday (I had to read 180 pages to "finish" it) and the paper is due today at 11:30. Things are the same as high school. The farther in you get, the less motivation you have to do, well - anything!
Though this book review is rather boring to write, the book was tremendous. Knowing God, by J.I. Packer is what I had to read for Theology 1. To be honest, I wish I had more time to go through it and really soak it in. Part of me likes the idea of re-reading it over break...but c'mon, the realist in me knows the chances of that happening are slim if any.
One thing that stuck out especially was the chapter on "adoption." When we see God as our Father, and ourselves as children and brothers to Christ all else will flow out into a right mindset of our Creator and Savior. Thankfully this chapter was the 2nd to last in the book so I actually remember some of it. Why get to know someone who doesn't love you? Who doesn't know you too? The answer to these questions is erased when we see God as our Father and what he has done for us as unworthy orphans satisfied with our mud puddles and trash in making us heirs through Christ to the Kingdom.
Mmm... I love school. I'm so blessed.
I could use a job though... so, pray I'm not as lazy as I've been...?
Whatever you do...do for Christ...and when you pray...pray in his name... be intentional! It speaks loud to those around you!
