Whew! I have been taking the long journey of walking through seminary one and at most two classes at a time. I am hoping that I will one day reach the destination of Master's of Divinity from LTSS.
This fall I took two classes. I thought maybe, just maybe if I took one hard class and one easy class I would be able to survive the semester a little better. A few years ago I took two really hard classes and by the end of the semester I was fried.
Today I am happy to say that the fall semester at LTSS is in the books. Sort of. I have one more paper to write for CM 203 and then it is all official except the final grade. I took my exam for CM 241 Theology of Pastoral Care a few days early. The exam was essay based and included a couple of questions on using a pastoral care model to walk through two case studies.
I have taken about half of the classes needed to complete my first year at LTSS and this class was one of the best I have taken so far.
I have learned that God needs to be the subject of more verbs; to look at the world through cross shaped lenses; and the importance of re-telling stories of fatih and representing Christ.
Now for some rest before the spring semester.
Titled after my first book of poetry, this blog follows with a vast array of stories of hope, joy, grace, sorrow, success, thoughts and prayers. I hope to remind myself that it is okay to not know how all the notes make up the song, and to inspire others that sometimes the seemingly random is not random at all because the Truth is, we aren’t writing the score— He is. And because He is, we can just play the notes and trust that the song will be Victory
