Classes...

So I figured, now that I'm in college I should start blogging more about college and how faith relates to life in college. I know that I am not in a traditional college setting--heck I'm not even in a traditional Christian college setting, in that my school is so God-focused and biblically based. However, we still have classes and homework and papers and due dates, just like everyone else. I skipped class today. You can't blame me--it was a perfect warm 80 degrees outside with a breeze blowing the whole day, a clear blue South Carolina sky with a few puffy clouds floating by. After having rainy, cold days, it was a wonderful relief of weather. It was one of those days where you can't help but proclaim the goodness of the mercies of God. His compassion is new every morning! But I skipped class. It's not that I don't like the class--it's Research and Literature and besides Old Testament, it is my favorite. We get into such good discussions. It's a wonderful class, sure. However, today was glorious. And not only was today such a deliciously lovely day, I had some paints. Watercolors that I brought back from home. I was dying to just use them, and if any day is a perfect paint day, it is a day like today. I don't like skipping classes. But there are some days when studying about poetry and how beautiful the earth is just doesn't compare to actually experiencing it, you know? It's the same way in my Bible classes. I can go on and on and talk about the goodness of God, but unless I am spending time with Him and allowing Him to let me experience His goodness for myself, that study is nothing. So whatever it is in your life that's like my English class, don't just talk about it--"skip class" and experience it. Amoxtla, Sarah (Picture from stock.xchange)
