This has been the least favorite summer of mine by far!! But even through the midst of tribulation and crazy stuff happening that I have no control over God has been faithful and has been teaching me many lessons this summer. One of the biggest blessing has been seminary, It's great when you get to study the Word of God with friends and with professor's who care for you and want to help you succeed it is awesome!! after my first Six Months of Seminary I have a 3.9 gpa that is even better than I had in college. God has really been blessing my studies. Another good thing about this summer is that fact that God has given me amazing friends, who I can share anything with and it has been good talking with them about things going on in my life.
Right now, I am reevalauting everything in my life. I have felt a tug on my heart over the last few weeks from the Lord to do this, so I have started the quest and I am so thankful for my parents. I have been discusssing things with them and getting their insight and it has confirmed a couple of things that God has placed on my heart. There are still many issues that I am seeking guidance on but two things that the Lord has made clear to me, is (1) that he wants me to stay with my grandparent's for longer than I expected, this will allow me to save money for school, and marriage whenever that happens!! The other thing that the Lord has revealed to me is to stay in school, I cannot describe the peace that I felt the first day of seminary it's like God wrapped his loving arms around me and said "Jared this is where I want you right now" So school marches on. I start Greek in September it should be very exciting because Justin Staples is going to be in that class too, and I have heard many great things about the Greek Professor.
"Look straight ahead with honest confidence; don't hang your head in shame" Prov 4:25
I am excited to see what God has in store for me!!!
