I like math.

Seriously, I like math. I was so excited tonight when Heather had a math question for me. I stopped what I was doing and got out my pen and paper to figure out the fractions. You know why I like math so much? It has an answer. None of this essay, complete sentences, multiple options stuff. You are either right or wrong, you either know the formula or you don't. There is no room for any fluff.
On the other hand, all the classes I been taking over the last few months, they are not math. They don't use the same kind of logic that my mind works in. I miss math questions. From this rambling you may see how very excited I am that I have finished my first semester of graduate school. I don't feel any smarter, I am just realizing how smart I am not. I questioned myself this week. What am I doing here? Why did I ever believe it would be useful to get a masters? I am so ready to get on an airplane and get back to the people who hold my heart. The land God has given me a passion for. Yet, here I am.
I know there is a purpose for this semester and the next one to follow, I know I am continuing to be challenged and grow closer to the Lord. So tonight I will find my peace and purpose in God alone. Once again I am learning patience, I am learning to be still before the Lord, I am learning to be and not just do. This you cannot learn in any textbook or classroom. It is found only in daily walking with Jesus.
