So a new year has arrived. Now I know this post is late since I have technically been in school since August but well I havent had a computer, and school has already become busy and taking up most my time..
My classes are pretty good, cant really complain or I should say, I shouldnt complain but sometimes I do. There are two classes in particular that make me crazy but I dont plan to go to the looney bin any time soon so instead I just try to breathe. :) I dont have any observing hours at schools this semester which is a nice relief but instead I have to go work one-on-one with a student and test them in math based on their level (special education) and write something about it...im not to sure of the project, thats pretty much all I know...whch means I probably need to look at the assignment.. I have a HUGE paper due for one of my deaf ed classes (this is one class that might make me crazy) that will be sent to DPI...that makes me nervous. Im not real sure what Im writing on yet, which is another problem because my outline is due next week...eeeep. I have another paper due in another deaf ed class, but that one doesnt bother me, and I enjoy that class so it shouldnt be a problem. I have also decided that English is not for me, thanks to my language and linguistics class (deaf ed course) so I have decided Im just going to sign in ASL...its a lot easier. ;)
On to different news: My suitemate is pretty awesome.
The woman that has the private room next to mine is precious, L.O.V.E.S. Jesus... I think that just says it all. Well I was in her room one night and we were talking... Im not sure how it came up but it did, and she called me out (in a good way). She told me that I hide. Im working on that and I dont think I do as much... but yeah. This got me thinking... which isnt always a good thing pahaha (I got myself tickled).
In the Bible you dont read stories of people hiding and making a difference. The only story that I can think of where someone tried to hide was Jonah, and we all know what happened to him, he got swallowed by BIG fish which isnt really what we should strive for as believers. No Thank You! Instead, we read stories of people who went out, who put themselves in danger, people who walked in the POWER of the living GOD, and didnt care what people thought as long as JESUS was being praised and shared. You cant really share Jesus with people, or make a difference, or do anything when you are in the belly of a fish....
Now I could completely be looking at the passage wrong, but I think even if I did, the LORD used that as a way to open my eyes to what I am I mean, what I was doing, and since my mind works in mysterious, weird ways, it worked.
I found a christian group on campus that I think is perfect for me... and I am so thankful for my suitemate, and I cant wait to see what will happen.
PRAYER REQUEST: That I wont hide. That I want be afraid to go out. I think there is a difference in hiding or being alone in my room and going out and being "alone." In the sense that nobody can see me in my room, but If im out and standing firm in my Jesus, and people seeing that... I think that is better.
