Well it's the middle of the (almost) first whole week of classes and I'm starting to get a feel for my schedule. Monday's are my longest days with 7 hours of in class time, no lunch for me! Then I have four hours on Tuesday, five hours on Wednesday and five hours on Thursday. Friday is my day off and then four more hours of class on Saturday. My schedule is full! But really, I only have to teach three out of the five classes on Thursday, so after Wednesday life will be a little bit more relaxed. It's going to be a busy year.
Please pray for strength and endurance for this year. Over the past holiday I had a nasty cold and still have some symtoms of sore throatness. I also reinjured my knee (have a slight tear in the cartilage from a long time ago, usually doesn't give me any problems) right before I came back. It's not getting any better and I've been having to wrap it every day. I am praying for complete healing and that I will not have to have any surgery! All day on Sunday, God just kept pressing into me that he is the Great Healer and he can heal anything.
Also along the lines of healing, I received an e-mail this morning from my mom that her younger brother had been admitted to ICU in Memphis yesterday. I want to ask for your intense prayer support for him, his wife and my grandparents who are in Memphis with my uncle. He has struggled with sickness for a while now, things I don't completely understand. But right now they don't know what is wrong with him and I just ask that you would pray for complete and total healing for his body, for rest for him, his wife and all others involved, wisdom for the doctors and nurses, just that God's healing hand would be upon his life and body and that he will be completely restored. God is a God of restoration and I believe that it will happen! Please believe and pray with me and my family. I know this may seem small to you, but please pray. It is effective for sure. Thank you!!
