It Was Going to be an Update

A fresh sheet.

Interesting what comes to mind.

I set out just now to write about my life at Weimar the last month, but instead I feel inspired from the new blogger interface and method of writing a blog.

Since this is a fresh, clean, crisp sheet, I want to make a parallel. I had my mind restored today in such a way as to totally make me reconsider what I've been up to and my attitude towards my life as of late (see, I do get to talk about my life at Weimar after all!).

It's been a hard week-- emotionally there has been stress. As an RA, being in the middle of the thick must be the norm-- at least it is in this dorm! Our dean has been highly stressed because of the many hats she is trying to juggle right now and midterms has taken its toll on students. There were some episodes that weren't handled well. It's over now and everyone is learning from them (they weren't so bad, in retrospect, but was I ever uptight). I was speaking with one of the faculty mid week and I really appreciated his desire for me to be happy here and and to continue strong in my small role of leadership in the dorm, despite the stress it invokes. He pointed out that Satan isn't happy about the work that is going on at Weimar. During the course of our conversation I realized that I needed to pray more and consider how my education and the work of this school are going to play a role in closing the work on this earth.

I've got a fresh start with my thinking now. Aren't you glad that Jesus can renew our minds? I sure am!

More on life later! =)
