Creativity Escapes

I'm over half way through the first semester of my senior year!  It's actually midterms.  Cool thing about being a science major is that we don't have midterms - ha!  I just get to hear about them..

 Since my last post, the running has continued but slowed.  I have successfully completed a 5k so theoretically, I am ready for the turkey bowl run, but I gotta stay in shape and try to improve my time a little.  I guess that last part isn't necessary.  I'm not trying to win the race.  I just want to be in it because I never have bee and I'm going to graduate soon.  Had I mentioned that yet?

I have started tutoring at a community center in Greenville.  I am only able to go once a week and so far I've only worked with a fifth grader, Jada.  Jada is a red headed little precious who doesn't like her multiplication tables whatsoever.  So, I force her to review her multiplication tables for 20-30 minutes and then she and I go outside.  Being outside is what she really seems to like.  Last week she had me hanging upside down from anything and everything.  It was fun.

The study of Philippians continues.  We'll be finishing up chapter two by Friday.  Paul's example of consistent joy grounded in Christ alone is thoroughly convicting.  I've also been learning to trust God more.  He is good and does good (Psalm 119:68).  What more can I say?

Classes are still super challenging, but thanks be to God, I think I am finally getting a little bit of a hang of them.  They just take time - lots and lots of time.

those are the highlights!  I leave you with this from John 15, "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing"
