Direction

When I began seminary I had this excited "hey let's do this" exhuberance that I still carry a bit of. However, now as I head into my fall semester next week I can't help but reflect. The thing about a five year program is that it is always multi-faceted. It is fun. It is work. It is a lot of things. Much the same, how I feel about myself in the program changes. In the beginning I did not have a clear vision of what I am being called to, but I felt resolute about the call itself. Now as I head for year two, my reckless abandon is being shaped into something different. I feel excited, but not giddy. I have prayed for clarity and vision over the summer and have received again just a feeling of "this is right- keep going", with even less of an understanding of where it is that I'm going. For now, one foot in front of the other will do. I will enjoy the path that God has placed me upon and pray that He will see me through it to the finish.
