to be very honest, i walked into this class thinking it was more like bible study techniques, systematic theology. i wasn't really sure if i would like it and i assumed that it would be a boring class. it has proved over and again to be anything but boring. it has challenged my thinking and my entire approach to scriptures. i have deepened in my love for God's word in ways that i cannot believe. and my love for Christ has expanded and become more real than it has ever been for me. and i'm excited. very excited.
that's not to say though that there aren't moments when i wonder what i'm doing. in fact, my professor is a brilliant man and speaks, sometimes, in ways i can't understand. there have been occasions when students have asked him questions that i wasn't sure what they were saying. but it has evened out now. i am beginning to grasp the concept and watch God take the word deep inside me. now he is moving and changing me from the inside out. it's quite exciting, too.
so, now we are half way through the semester and as i progress and read continually to keep up i am hopeful that by the end of the semester i will be a different student of the word.
