My seminary journey

Who would have thought that during this time in my life I would be called to study again. Many moons ago when I received my bachelor's degree, I thought "Hmmm, that's a wrap!" Although deep inside I wanted to pursue a higher degree, Lord knows theology wasn't the type of degree that I preferred. 

Thankfully, after transplanting back home to care for my father, it was upon his suggestion and a tug from the Spirit to pursue Moody Theological Seminary. Apparently, my dad's condition was still manageable and as the pastor he instinctively put me to work at the church. Surely, I could pull off the task of teaching Bible class for a few weeks. Why not?? I can study the text and the prescribed lesson plans and stand before the small class and teach. Meanwhile, it wasn't a tough task but I wanted to be grounded and a credible leader, so dad encouraged me to look into his alma mater and after some thoughts, prayers and orientation..I had applied to attend the seminary!

All in all, the lesson here is to pursue God through the study of His Word! If you want to lead, teach, administer in any subject, strive to become equipped. Be a life learner and you will see how as societal times change you will remain abreast on how to communicate effectively.
