Seminary

This has been a busy week. Classes are picking up with a bit more reading and prep work for writing papers. We are getting more into the meat of our text rather than the introductory materials. Work has also been busy this week. I've been blessed to pick up a couple extra hours here and there, which has put me at the top of what I can work as a part-time employee. As I mentioned in my last post, I love working at Chick-fil-a. I work with some great people. Many of them are seminary students or wives of seminary students. God has given me the awareness to recognize the need to pray for my fellow classmates. We're all busy here. Many of us are working 30-40 hours a week and taking a full load of classes. Many of the men I work with at Chick-fil-a are married with young children. Many of us who are single work second part time jobs as well. I know that this is a similar experience for many of the students who work elsewhere as well. Please pray with me that God will sustain us over the next few years as we pursue Him. Please pray especially for these men, their wives and children that God will give them strength and wisdom. God has called these men to lead our churches and within the next five years, most of them will be pastoring somewhere. This gives me great hope for the future of our churches.

I've been visiting a great church the last couple weeks and will probably begin the membership process soon. (No walking down front and filling out a card at this church. It is for real a process with a class, an individual interview and written questions before membership is granted) I am excited about becoming more involved at church as I have the opportunity to see where God might allow me to serve.

Thank you for your prayers. Because of His Grace,

Amanda
