It's Sunday morning and I'm planning on going to worship at 6pm tonight so I thought I'd take a moment to update my blog. So here it is.
It's been over 5 weeks since Judy and I have "thrown down our nets" and followed. Judy has done a great job of trying to put things in order in our new home and tying up all of those loose ends that seem to keep popping up. I've been by myself here for the last week as we went back to Northern Kentucky last weekend to take care of a few things and I left Judy up there on Sunday while I drove back myself to take on some more Greek. She dropped Sammy of to Murray State for the start of her secondary education and is on her way back home today (Sunday). I've missed her this week as she keeps my day from getting away from me as I've been burying myself in Greek homework and classes for 12 hours a day.
I have come to know many of my classmates as we struggle through the learning of Greek as well as learning a lot about ourselves. Several of us are the "older students" and many of us struggle with the same things. We have had a serious life change in our call to serve, we are learning how to be students again, some of us are living apart from our spouses, we are learning how to deal with things that are out of our control from our past lives but most of all (and best) we struggle with why God has sent us here now and at this time. While we have patience we still want to see the path that is set out before us. But alas, it is not to be known. It is a call to follow and be led. He says "trust Me". Many of us have done those trust exercises where you are blindfolded and led around. Trust your guide and be led. That is what it's like. It's easier said than done.
If your curious about the roller coaster ride........it's still moving pretty quick but the twists and turns have become less painful..................and the house is still quiet.
I will follow,
