Tomorrow is the first day of spring semester classes for me. I should have been in bed an hour ago, but I got caught up in cleaning our other bedroom. It looks a lot better except that now our desk is a disaster, but at least we can walk into the bedroom and sit on the futon. School is gonna be good this semester; all of my classes are ones that I am interested in and I hope it doesn’t kick my butt too much. Gonna be working too, but it’ll be more limited since I’m taking on more than I am used to. I am really gonna submerse myself into design stuff so that I can find where I fit into in that world. My goal is to work for myself. I almost wrote, ‘if possible’ and that wouldn’t be true. It is possible. I can do it. Josh is a great motivator and encourager for me in this goal.
The other night Josh and I were reading Romans and somehow we got onto the topic of trying to understand the concept of God and us humans wrapping our brain around that. I can’t even begin to imagine what God is. He’s the Alpha and Omega, I think that is as much sense as it can make…it’s easier to understand Jesus because he was a person. Anyway, we were talking and read in Exodus about how when Moses went up to the mountain to write the 10 Commandments and how when he saw the Lord his face “shone.” It was so illuminated that he frightened other people and had to wear a veil while around them. That was pretty amazing and just a small idea of what it would be like to be in the presence of God. I liked that we sat and studied Romans and then the conversation spurred on more. It was good. I enjoy our time together reading the Bible, it’s a time to be close to one another and to God.
I’m pretty tired and need to get some sleep so that I can get through tomorrow. There are road detours to be taken, shuttles to maybe ride to my off campus classes, a lunch to pack, and yes, you get the idea. Still have to find some time to run outside to prepare one more time for Thursday night’s Polar Bear run in Crown Point. Choy, choy, choy!
