The light of your body is your eye.

Dear reader,
The purpose behind this blog is this: to encourage others in my own daily pursuit of God, to share with you the happenstance of my days, and to question you dear reader.
Reader, I will not refer to you as though you are nieve to my life. I'm going to assume that you know me personally, until I have reason to believe that more than family or friends are viewing this page.
And to you dear webpage, I have to say I hope you grow into something greater than I can imagine :]

Enough with my silly jargon. Down to the happenstance! (Fun words, Eh?)
I am now a Lindenwood freshman and, WOW, I did not realize the amount I was going to be learning at this age. People will tell you that between the ages of 18-21 you will learn more about yourself than in the rest of your life. How true! Already I'm beginning to see what work we have to be done. Not just school-wise, but in my heart as well.

Truthfully at the moment I feel I'm getting fed with a lot of things (spiritually) that I am still trying to process. My advisor and Into. to Theology Professor, Bobo, is going to really kick my butt this semester. Here's what has happened:
We were filling out a interview paper for our partner. When my partner asked me, "On a scale of 1-5, where do you stand on your knowledge of the Bible." I say 3 thinking I know some, but not all of it. Bobo clarifies after hearing my answer that he believes himself to be a 1.5 on this scale. He clarifies that after seminary, he believed that he was roughly a 3. God proved him wrong.
Now Bobo says that anyone answering 3 or above will be tested on just how much they know.
He's definitely going to test us.
In general I've realized my pride and arrogance are more deeply rooted than I once believed. I have too quickly judged others, thinking too highly of myself and I have too often believed myself to be "more advanced" than I really am.

This semester I have a prayer that God will prove me wrong. Dead wrong. And I strongly believe that will be answered in more ways than I can imagine.
Journey with me on the humility train :]

Chelsy.
