Rock of Ages 2
I could probably just re-post my last blog entry because I still feel the same as I did a week ago. I still don't want to be in school; I'm still wishing I was back on my Christmas break; and I'm still ready to graduate.
The days have been long and are getting longer and longer. I go and go and go some more until I'm exhausted. Then I go to bed, just to get up again and begin the same thing all over. This semester has proven to be much more work than I even imagined. I thought Fall term was bad ... HA! Fall term was cake, my friends. CAKE.
Thankfully, there is an end in sight. I ordered my cap and gown and graduation announcements today. It just proves that all good (or bad) things must come to an end. :) Thankfully, they don't last forever. Nothing does. And whatever DOES happen within our 70 or so (give or take a few) years on this earth won't be more than we can bear.
In the heat of the moment, when I'm sitting in my ED. 25 class and my teacher hands me ANOTHER 20 page handout to go with the other three books we already have to read for her, I think I can't take it any more. I have felt lately that if I have to write another reflection, make another field experience visit, create another lesson plan, turn in another stupid project on LiveText, or attend another meaningless Education Department seminar, I'll lose it. But I know in my heart of hearts that I won't lose it. I'll be kept (and kept safely!) through it all. There is enough grace in today for today. I WILL persevere. I was predestined to persevere!
Do you remember at the beginning of this post how I said that I still feel the same as I did a week ago? I still feel that I don't want to be in school, that I want a break, and that I want to graduate? Well, same as last week, I have found Jesus to be, still, my Rock of Ages when the day seems long. And the days DO seem long. (You can probably gather that from this rambling post.) But so is my hope, and my hope lasts as long as my days do. "And from His fullness we have all received grace upon grace ..."
