Hi Blog fans...if there are any?!
I think its sad that it has been nearly 2 months since I've posted, I apologize to those who check my blog regularly, now you have something new to read, yippee!!!
Well I've finished my spring 2011 term! I am guessing that I'll have B's all the way around, which for me is great! Those who don't have to work two jobs, raise a young child alone, are more sane, can have those A's they're all yours. I will however stick with doing the best I can with the resources and time I have, and praise God for the B's I earn!
SO you may now be wondering what my title of my blog is... yes seminary or grad school is like War because we are all battling the books, papers, sylabi and time, but I read a devotion today and was enlightened and would like to share this with all of you who may be struggling with 'War'.
Truly Human:
In addition to the battle to "get ahead," there is another:
this other war is the war not to conquer but the war to become whole and at peace inside our skins. It is a war not of conquest now but of liberation because the object of this other war is to liberate that dimension of self-hood which involves the capacity to forgive and to will the good not only of the self but of all other selves. This other war is the war to become human being. This is the goal that we are really after and that God is really after. This is the goal that power, success, and security are only forlorn substitutes for. This is the victory that not all our human armory of self-confidence and wisdom and personality can win for us-not simply to be treated as human but to become at last truly human. --Frederick Buechner---
The questions that remain for me are:
How much Longer will this 'War' Last?
Am I truly Human and
Are You Truly Human?
JUST MY THOUGHTS...BE ENCOURAGED...STAY ENCOURAGED!
