this week: one theology final project, a 2-part hebrew exam, and old testament 2 exam, and i'll be done.
ah, but tomorrow, in the midst of all of this: i finally lead worship with my friend dave and our friend joel who plays the cello so very sweetly. the line-up: "let all mortal flesh keep silence," "come thou long-expected jesus," and, of course, "o come o come emmanuel"
...then, after these finals are said and done, onto preparing a sermon for the 4th week of advent and a musical/liturgical set list for the sunday after christmas service.
sometimes i stop to think about what my life looks like now, and think to myself, "how did i get here?" 2 years ago i was receiving christmas presents from my elderly patients at the clinic i was working at. 4 years ago i was running around a hospital floor passing out medications all day long. don't get me wrong--i actually miss some of the nursing quirks. but now, i get to study hebrew and do something really crazy like write a sermon that i'll soon give! yikes! what did i get myself into?
that's all i've got for tonight. don't know how to neatly wrap this up except to call it a night and get through this week.
