But it's true...I'm a terribly jealous person. I often have to close my eyes, breathe, and remember all the ways the Lord has blessed me.
Lately I'm jealous of people who are DONE with school. I've been in school since I was three years old! That's 20 years of school. I've studied, read books, written papers, memorized formulas, worried over exams. I'm kind of ready to be done with all of this. It's not the learning that I mind. For the most part I love learning. I'm just tired of being obligated to read books and memorize facts. I want to read for fun. I want to learn for fun. I don't want to stay up all night writing papers or studying for tests. ::le sigh::
I know, I know, education is a privilege. Believe me, I'm aware. And I am beyond grateful to live in a country where I am allowed and encouraged to increase my education. I am ever so thankful to be in a school where I am enjoying my classes and professors; it just gets a bit tiresome. Really I've got just about a year and a half to go, I'm sure I'll make it through. :-)

i totally understand what you're saying! it is true that education is a useful gift, but man does it take forever! let's keep praying that God uses what we're learning.

great post kristel :)
i know you'll probably hate me for saying this: but i'm tired of school already
(i say you'll hate me since I'm only getting finished with my BA this December then i have to go to Grad school)
i'm so tired of reading and writing and reading and writing
but, i guess sacrifices just need to be made
when do you finish at seminary?
If all goes well I should be done by December 2010 at the latest. If all goes SUPER well then I should be done by May 2010. :-)
