This semester I'm taking Old Testament Survey, Spiritual Formation, Exegesis, and Intro to Field Education.

Bummed cuz I hadta drop Patristic and Medieval Theology, cuz Exegesis is way too hard.

Ive been very stressed out with trying to form a comfortable school schedule. I musta switched my schedule 3-4 times, and I'm still not very satisfied with it.

I sense that this semester will be overwhelming, largely due to greek class.. i put 4 times more energy into that one class than for the others and still have a hard time

Sin is an inadequate way of trying to satisfy an adequate need

Conform your desires to God's desires, synchronize your heart to His values and His principles

I am diligently trying to grow spiritually mature, but finding myself greatly distracted by the idol of academics, knowledge, and theology

I want to change my perspective of enjoying the blessing of education.

I need to slip away in secret prayer more often, and grow in my hunger for God's Word

God's grace is sufficient

The purpose of Christian doctrine is not merely to make us more knowledgeable but to make us more mature as followers of Jesus Christ, to make us more like him

Although I have a productive mentality, I find myself worrying about things i need to do, rather than actually accomplishing them

"But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul." -Deut 4:29

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." -Deut 6:4-9

"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." Deut 7:9

"He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." -Deut 8:3

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." James 3:18

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at this face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." James 1:22-24

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead....You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did." James 2:17, 22

"We love because he first loved us." -1 John 4:19
