Intimidated, Overwhelmed, and Excited

I sit here tonight intimidated, overwhelmed, and excited. That's a lot of emotions for one night! I was able to pick up my books to begin my first semester at Crown Seminary! It was the first time I had ever been to the campus. I've been to Temple Baptist before on a couple of occasions but never to Crown College. To say it is impressive is an understatement. The building itself is beautiful and impeccable. I entered into the front door and was warmly greeted by a nice lady behind a welcome desk. She graciously led me to the Crown Bookstore where I picked up my required books.

I was wearing nice khakis and my long-sleeved, button up, Tyco Electronics dress shirt, pretty dressy for business casual. I should have dressed nicer. Everyone in the college was wearing nice dress pants, button up shirts, ties, and polished shoes... the way I typically dress for church. I felt so out of place! I also felt very old among all of the young fresh faces that were meandering around the bookstore.

I have been going through my assignment notebook tonight and flipping through the huge stack of books. I've got a lot of work ahead of me. I am required to read the Old Testament in its entirety for this first course; "Advanced Old Testament." I know I'm going to really enjoy my assignments. It feels a bit overwhelming right now but I'm excited about digging in and get started. Please remember me in your prayers as I work on my Masters in Ministry because I need all I can get!
