Well NSO (new student orientation) is now over, and all of us are officially part of the Asbury community. NSO was great, I got to meet a lot of Asbury students, new and old, and several members of the faculty and staff. Chapel was awesome during those two days with sermons from the President, the Dean of Chapel: JD Walt, and Marilyn Elliott, a Professor. NSO gave me a lot to think about, not only about Asbury but also, seminary in general, and God and my relationship with him. I can't wait to begin my first year as a seminary student. I have made many new friends during this experience and have been involved in several fellowship times, including lunch at the President's house (which is beautiful by the way.)
Now after a 3 day weekend, I am almost to the "real beginning of my adventure." Classes begin bright and early tomorrow morning at 8am. I have already gotten a head start on some of my readings, so as to be prepared for this week. It is intimidating to begin school again after being our for, 4 years, but I know that God has called me to this point in my life and he will help me through it, along with the support of my new friends and the faculty and staff here at Asbury, and of course the support of all my friends and family back home.
As I said before, I will try to keep this as up-to-date as possible, but I make no promises as to how often that will be. If you wish to contact me, you can always email, snail-mail, or call (if you need my number email me, and I'll send it to you).
God Bless
