Life has been crazy. School has kicked in to full swing and if one is not carefully, one could get swamped under tons of work really really fast. That being said I am proud to say all though I have a load of reading to do I am keeping up, slowly but surly I am.
One thing I have noticed now that I am going on to my 6th year here at school is that it is very easy to become cynical about the basic day to day activities here in this place. A professor once said that ' the longer you stay here {at briercrest} the further away you get from the word.' that is a frightening thought but in sad reality I am finding it more and more true. Not to say I am not reading the Word of God, but I am finding it harder and harder because in many ways it has turned into a textbook. Even though I am fighting these ideas and feelings, the Lord is still teaching me- teaching to trust and to come to Him as I am. That last thought is a hard one for me - because I am so sinful and unworthy - yet the gift He has given is free and to Him we are clothed in white. Yes because we are human we fall and sin daily but when we realize that we can't do life on our own (even though we despritly want to) we do a 180 and He leads us down the path He has choosen.
...Wow that was long .. longer then I had planed. I think now I am going to go to bed...

NICELY SAID... It can be a hard task to remind ourselves that we come to scripture submitting to it and being under it's authority, verses coming to it over it as a surgeon dissecting it. The sad fact Dawn is that we are the generation of the newspaper, we read and throw out. Unlike our predecessors who cherished books since they were not mass produced. This takes discipline and more importantly the surrendering work of Christ in our lives. Dawn just remember that you are not the only one who deals with this and it can happens to those outside of Bible College as well.
Thanks for the advice :)
