In the thick of it


I am in the middle of my first class in the pursuit of my Master's. I am slogging through it and have begun to feel capable of actually handling the work required of me. I am a bit overwhelmed by looking up at the mountain of courses to go before I finish my degree. It all feels just abit impossible to me. I know that looking at the whole thing at once is not wise but sometimes I just can't help it. Someone prophesied over me recently that they got a picture of me dressed as a traditional Chinese scholar going up to the emperor. In the picture I was lookingup at hundreds of steps to get to the top where the emperor was. As he told me this and as I recall it now God is saying don't look to the top , just look at the next step and take it. You will get there eventually. I know but I can't help but look up at times. I gues we the long term vision to keep us wanting to go on but the determination comes from each step we take. The picture has nothing to do with it but is from the typhoon we had last week. Not as bad as Hurricane Katrina.

cool!
I was beginning to wonder how it was going.

You know at first I wasn't going to pursue a career in architecture, because I didn't want to deal with the work and time it took. But as you can see I'm still standing and get a bit closer every day.
