That's the state of most of my stuff right now. Well, okay, I can tell you where it is (the dining room), but not how to get to it or what exactly is where. It'll make actually making an effort to look like a normal human being in the morning (instead of someone whose how-lazy-can-i-possibly-be-with-getting-ready look screams, "Hey, I'm in the middle of a wicked-stressful and bumpy move") interesting...especially for going teacher aiding again like I promised. Man, I need to get better at saying "no" to things. Note to self: Just Say No. It's not just for drugs anymore.
It's also just the state of me. I'm taking a class right now called Christian Doctrine 2. I took the first component in the fall. Both are required for my Ed. degree, but I actually want to take these. They approach it from a Lutheran perspective. Being a girl aiming to be a Lutheran school teacher who did not, in fact, grow up in the Lutheran church (or any church for that matter), it's a handy class to take to familiarize myself further with the doctrine of my church. I enjoy it. It's also just very challenging because of how mentally demanding it is. Faith isn't an area where you just blindly accept things. That's a very dangerous thing to do.
Today we talked about the Israelites and Moses...and we talked about how they were wandering in the desert for 40 years. God fully removed every avenue for them to be self-reliant...and yet He provided for their every need.
We also hit on how we are the Israelites of today, but I really love that thought. I've been thinking a lot about this college thing and how old all of this moving around gets (especially after taking about two days and countless trips to move all of my stuff into the house...ugh, I think it multiplies when I'm not looking). I got to thinking about how some friends and I have been talking about how we haven't felt like we actually have a "home" since we started college. How perfect of an analogy are the Israelites for us?
It always fascinates me that not only is the Bible called "The Living Word", but how very true that title is.

I grew up with that stuff, so it's kind of an odd feeling hearing about you learning this stuff. I had the Martin Luther classes, and all that jazz. Cool though! We're both making strides in our chosen careers, whoo!
