Here I Am Again!

Well, it has been a while since I was able to be on a computer.......Here I Am Again!
I am taking some classes through BILD International called Antioch School. There are large binders that have coursework, theological readings, issue questions, and projects. We meet once a month for discussion of our papers and the Socratic discussion questions. I have completed book one which was Acts. It brought us through the book of Acts having us study what it was like to be a Christian in that time and also what the "church" looked like. the second book was Pauline Epistles. We studied all of Paul's writings and what did Paul do to build and maintain disciples and the church community. The third book is called Essentials, which I am in now, and we are studying the Scriptures to find out what should be the foundations of any "church".
This has opened up so many things in my heart and mind. How do I continue to move forward with all God has been teaching me and changing in me? Instead of stressing about it, I just have to give it over to Him and let Him continue to do what He wants to do in my life.
So now I am excited about finishing this binder instead of the dread I previously had about it.
It's amazing what a little trust and faith can do!
