Life is Different

You know those weeks where you know that after it, your life will be different. This is one of those for me.

Yesterday, was my first day back at school. I loved it! My seminary class was so much fun. We learned....inductive Bible study! Yes, O-I-A. I was refreshed, energized, and ready to jump into a semester of studying Scripture (for the class).

I did wonder, however, how I could enjoy learning something that I've been actively, consciously doing for over 9 years and that I've consistently taught others for the last 5? I think it's partly because I was affirmed that I'm teaching others correctly and well. I can walk away saying 'yup, that's it.' But that's not all of it. I also learned things last night. New things. Fun things that I want to teach others.

This circles back to the MAC training over the weekend and having a posture of a learner. Jesus - may I always be in that state. And when I drift off, put me back in it.
