While being in college is no small task, there always seems to be something that comes up. That is no exception this semester. It is midterm week this week. During this week my folks are leaving for about 6 months to the States to report to our supporting church about what is happening here in Romania. Now is the time that one can start to feel lonely, but one starts feeling like I remember 2 verses that are very clear on this subject 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" and Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." Now those should be some comforting verses for anyone in a lonely time.
Now that they are gone it will be an adjusting period between their responsibilities at school and at the house. It will take some time to adjust to. But even though it's taking a lot of out of me I'm up for the challenge. It's a time that I can grow especially in my Spiritual walk with the Lord.
Midterm week will finally be over!!! Yay...it's been two weeks' worth of midterms, which has been nice at the same time, and the days aren't loaded down with a couple of midterms each day. We end the midterm week with apologetics. Apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith. Obviously, you aren't to go around picking a fight or argument. But if someone says something inaccurate about the Bible, you have the tools to defend what the Bible says.
Next week, we have the youth conference we are ready for it but also a little apprehensive as the students don't know what is going on. We are ready for a break from school, but it won't be "time off" as we are still heavily involved in different activities. None the less it will be a fun time and hopefully stress-free.
