This blog now has a new use- Commentary on life at Truett and such. My personal goal (besides relating in Scriptures 1 so I can get credit for keeping a blog- shout out to Dr. Reid!) is to make each entry titled a song from my iTunes and somehow relate it. Get excited, this could be interesting.
This one seems appropriate- I'm in my new school, with a new roommate, new classes, new friends. Yet everywhere I have hints of the old- same town, same campus, some of the same friends. It's a lovely combination. A brand new sidewalk is the same way- something new that you can make an indelible mark on in the midst of a place you already know. I'm hoping to be able to make a mark on Waco in the time I'm here again. I want to be involved in the life of Truett, of UBC, of the larger city. I'm hoping to have time in the midst of needing to make money to pay for Truett!
One of my current reading assignments is Genesis and it admittedly gives me hope in this. While I don't believe at all that Genesis is a blow-by-blow account of God's creation of the world(we'll talk more about that later, I'm sure...) , I do trust in the strength and power it shows He has. While now the world has it's problems and whatnot, I still love it- the sun, the land, the water, the plants, the wildlife, the people- it all has it's good. The Creation is still THERE, it's just been distorted by our presumptuousness. That's how I know that this will all turn out well- God has seen that it good.
