A quickish Update

 It has been a while since I've updated my blog and since I'm finally recovering from a flu,and slept quite a lot last night,I figured it was time.(With that said,my hiatus was not JUST due to my flu).

I was recently inspired through some articles and shorts featured on Relevant's site(will insert the link below) and thought I ought to post here. Well,not "ought"infinitively...because that certainly isnt the way I talk.Nevertheless, here I am! Missed me?    

I signed up for a programme in Biblical Studies and successfully finished last Saturday. It was grand. Finishing. I kid. I was amazed at God working in that class. After weeks of research,tuning into God,other speakers/preachers/sermons/teachings/worship music I ran my last lap with exhaustion. I wish I could say it was a walk in the park,but it really wasnt. It was hectic and hard many mornings especially nights of staying up till 3am or so after long weeks to complete unfinished assignments and weekends just weren't any easier...but in hindsight,it was worthwhile. Maybe,He wanted to teach me faithfulness...and I'm okay with that.Yes,folks,THAT cliche.The cool thing about doing that one course and possibly, the many more to come,was the fact that it was a taste of reality and motivation for pursuing other things,academic or otherwise.

So, you're probably wondering :" Why would you pursue a programme in Biblical Studies?  " I know that  my calling will entail doing Gods work. Now, I'm not certain of all the details just yet, but I can see it glimmering in the distance. In order for me to do His work more efficiently,I really need certified training and to be able to challenge concepts I previously had in the classroom/via other pastors/scholars/colleagues. No,I would not advise everyone to do it. Yet the option is still provided out there. If you're having second thoughts,or doubts,know that the same God who brought me through this course can reach you.He holds the resources to bring you through. We negate the power that prayer has.Seek Him and You will find Him. The question remains though, why would He be hiding?I guess the same way,some us hide from Him.Or maybe,just maybe,Hes more interested in the pursuit,the journey rather than every stumble,or defeat. Remember,His ways are not our ways. I am learning everyday,to trust His leadership,because it's perfect.Maybe,you can too.
