My Sincerest Apologies.

I would like to apologize for the fact that I have neglected this blog for more than a month. As I mentioned in my last post, life is simply extracurricular right now, and in addition to everything that was already on my plate, my sub-term C classes are in full swing; English 101, Humanities 101 and Theology 104. Simple classes, I know, but I'm really focusing on getting my grades up after how much I neglected my studies in the two previous semesters. Sub-term D starts October 25 and I will be taking Youth (Ministries) 201, Education 200 (Principles of Education!) and Psychology 210 (Developmental Psych). Needless to say, I'm beyond excited for the latter two. I feel like I'm finally getting involved in my major, and closer to what God has in store for me. Coinsidentially, as I begin my Sub-term D classes I will be starting as a lead Sunday School teacher for the Kindergarten class at my church. As usual, God gives me everything I need to accomplish what He has in store.

Spiritually, things are beginning to look up. I'm coming out of the dry, barren desert that I was in, and drawing closer to Him, feeling His presence more and more in my life. What I do like about being involved in a Christian college is that my classes, specifically Theology, are growing me so much spiritually. And not only in strengthening my knowledge, but also my desire to draw closer to Him has increased exponentially. Time is my enemy, though, and I have not been half as dilligent about my devotions as I should. If anyone has a reading plan that has significantly impacted their life, please comment and let me know!

There have been some shortcomings this month, specificially in the area of my own body image. It seems like my ability to accept my body has taken two or three steps back. Its become a bit of an obsession with me lately, and possibly the biggest difficulty in my life. Prayer would be greatly appreciated, I've been attacked with this quite a bit this month.

I always promise to write more, and every time I fail. Needless to say, I'm going to make that promise again, and stop waisting my time on the unimportant things (i.e. vegging out on facebook, etc.) and begin writing on a regular basis, which if I manage my time correctly (which may be a challenge in and of itself =p) should be possible. Thanks for the prayers and support.
