So it is official.Seminary has begun.
The pleasantries of orientation are behind us (it was a great time of meeting everybody, having lunches with the faculty & pastors and exploring the campus) and now it it time to get down to some hard work.
I have had a full week of classes (minus one day as TMS was closed for audit) and it was a great experience. I have not been in school for many, many years so please pray for me as I adjust to it all.
Just to remind you all I am doing : Introduction to Preaching, Hebrew, Biblical Counselling, Exposition of Prayer and Hermeneutics. (everybody says that is a heavy load - but if you are going to do it in 3 years that's what its got to be! So please, please pray for us)
Lisa is doing great. She has begun attending the nights put on for the wives of seminary students. This has been a great way for her to meet some ladies going through the same thing.....You know, those ladies who are having their husbands getting drilled day in day out with lots and lots of homework?
(Don't take me wrong please :) - I count it a great privilege to be here and pinch myself every day walking around campus on my way to class)
We have continued to get to know the other people in our complex - and Kyah just loves playing with the kids around here! Infact, when she cannot play, she truly bears witness to that biblical doctrine we know as 'total depravity'!
Speaking of Kyah; she is doing great. She was quite sick there for 5 or so days with a bad cold / cough, but that seems to have improved. So, please also pray for little Kyah.
We are so very thankful to God for what He is doing in our lives. There are times of ease and times of trials whilst being here but one thing remains the same; God's faithfulness.
We miss you and love you.
Please contact us and let us know what is going on in your life & how we can pray for you.
Once again, thank you for your loving support of us here as we seek to be trained to be used of the Lord to serve His Church.
In His grip,
The Johnston's
