So things are definitely getting better as the week goes on. Last night’s rehearsal was a bit weird, but I do still have a useful part to play in the program. That made me feel better. We were at the church too late last night, and I’ll be back today to help tweak some things. But hopefully, then we’ll be in good shape for the rest of the weekend.
Classes went fine yesterday. I’m starting to be concerned about some Basic students not finishing this term. I tried to stress the need for them to start working outside of class, but I don’t know if they got it. At this point, they just don’t seem to care, even though having to register for the course again next term will cost them almost $2000. I’d b a lot less cavalier about it if it was my money! 
I don’t feel like I have anything else very interesting to say today. I read one of my favorite Psalms (138) this morning and was struck again by the last verse: “The Lord will work out his plans for my life – for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.” Or as the NIV states it: “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.” It will happen; God will bring to pass all that he has planned for me: releasing me from sin and bondage, making me like Jesus, pouring Himself into me, growing me, healing me, filling me, making me useful for His Kingdom. What a wonderful promise!
Happy Thursday!
^ Especially a class with the word “Basic” in the title!!! ^
Even if it wasn’t my money I sure wouldn’t have wanted to ask/tell my parents I needed to spend $2,000 for something I had to repeat because II had not been responsible about completeing it the first time!
^Yep, most parents fund college educations–especially expensive, Christian, private ones. Indeed, a hope-filled, freeing, promise quoted above. Thanks for the reminder. Glad that you have a part that you feel good about for the weekend.
It’s probably their parents’ money. What do they care?
^It probably isn’t their money. AND…they probably have the discipline to work of a 13-year-old. Like I said yesterday: FLUNK ‘EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^
It’s true, you know…God is in charge, and He loves us. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Are these kids crazy??? That’s a lot of money. Buck up and do the work, children!
I love that verse!
