A new week

Um woah,

I have forgotten how boring school can really be, especially if I am working toward a major I really don't care about. I'm working toward a Business Mgmt degree, but I'm not really sure why. My passion is for ministry and the church and for now, that is the only thing I can see doing that will bring the most joy to my life. I guess I found myself getting here because of my dad. He was a minister for 25 years and was awesome at it. Several things brought him down and he no longer preaches anymore. Bills are high and spirits are low. He's a truck driver now. It's the only profession that he could go to school for a couple of weeks and make the same money he was while he was preaching, plus more. By his advice and other ministers, it would be best to have a profession to fall on if the whole ministery thing doesn't work out. Right now I can't see that happening, but I never know what God has in store for me. All I can do is prepare.

I dreaded coming back to school the whole entire summer. I only look forward to seeing a few people when I came back and I was excited about the Bible classes. However, I refuse to let myself become bitter and negative like last semester. The atmosphere is tough. The conservative view is strong and socialization is hard here. Clicks are prominent, social clubs are life, and church life and dorm life are clearly divided. I thank God for the church in Alvin, Jerry and Carolon, Danielle, the Alvin youth group, KSBJ, my parents, and other influences over the summer. I draw on God a whole lot. What concerns me is that I am doing it harshly so early in the game. I've only been here a week and I am already starting to feel overwhelmed. Pray for me. A verse I am going to draw on over the semester is Psalm 119:71. Wanna know what is says? Pick up a Bible and read it!!! :-)

Because of His Blessings,
Potter
