Its almost the end of term. We celebrated at a banquet last night. Just a few classes left to attend this week— and a final exam for my History of Christianity course on Thursday...and my first term at Regent will be behind me! I looked over my syllabi for the semester tonight and out of curiosity added up my required reading from the last three months: approximately 3,500 pages. This varied from classic novels to scientific articles, and from historical documents to theology textbooks. What's scary is this doesn't even include an account of what I actually spent a great deal of my time reading: all the material I used for my research papers! Piles of library books. An untold number of pages swallowed up in the sea of research, never to be tallied. So essentially, I'm saying I've done a fair amount of reading in the last few months! I'd say I'm ready for a break, but I am not really going to take much time off as I am starting a summer course next month. There is a heavy reading requirement for that and they suggest pre-reading... which means yes, I am currently in the early stages of exactly that! Crazy, I know.
Also, praise the Lord for his provision! I have begun a part time job, two shifts a week in the Regent College communications department. I am training to write and post for various Regent online platforms and other publications, as well as managing content for several parts of the college's website, and doing a variety of other tasks to assist the Communications team. I've been really blessed to work with them, and am grateful for the opportunity to expand my writing skills in some practical ways, and to have a partial income to help my ongoing transition from missions support. Thank you again to all my supporters who have generously aided me in this transitional phase of my life and ministry journey—I'm so grateful for your commitment to me in this time.
