A schedule that's already making me feel sleep-deprived...and happy

I registered for classes the other night on Trinity's website. The fall lineup is as follows:

1. Biblical Interpretation
2. Beginning Greek
3. Foundations in Church History
4. Foundations in Old Testament
5. Spiritual Formation

After finishing, I kind of got a lump in my throat because this seminary thing is for real. Wow.

I visited Trinity in March and knew it was where I was supposed to be. One of my favorite places was the chapel. It was simple brick outside, with a big wooden cross on the wall behind the altar inside.

My last thought and prayer in that room -- before I turned my back to that cross to fly back to Fresno -- was simply this: "God, I'm trusting you to bring me back to this place in the fall."

I spend time with God every day, but I can't wait to meet him in that chapel and say, "I'm here. Thank you."
