What a semester! I can think of no better way to describe the last 5 months but transformational.
People often talk about "finding" themselves during college or some midlife crisis. I really wasn't looking for myself or trying to figure anything out. From one situation or another, however, it seems to me that maybe it has taken me 21 years to begin to know who I am. I think I am starting to find myself.
Between my relationships and my job and my classes, I am seeing myself, and the world, through new eyes. And what I have found is broken, but also beautiful. It is a chance to allow Jesus to dwell more freely in me, to move and mold me. It is an opportunity for me to see some things that have to go and other things that have to come.
This new knowledge has been meditated upon for sometime now. And truthfully, it really doesn't mean much to anyone but me. Yet, it seems so profound and so (again) transformational that I think that everyone should find themselves.
If you should wonder what it is that i found, this sums in it up quite nicely.
"Ah! believers, you are a tempted people. You
are always poor and needy. And God intends it should be so, to give you
constant errands to go to Jesus. Some may say, it is not good to be a
believer; but ah! see to whom we can go." --Robert Murray McCheyne
