Cramming


     Have you ever crammed for a test? When I was in grade school I did that all the time. I got better at studying in college.  However, I have learned a humbling fact about Language School. You can't cram.  You can't force it to take.  You can study and you may remember it 30 minutes later and you may not.  Well, this week is my week of trying to cram all the thing I need to learn and remember to do my job.  It is funny because I know it will not make a huge difference, but it is all I know how to do (other than prayer) to prepare for a job that I am kind of clueless of what I am walking into. 
     I think this is the first time I am walking into the job where I know I am underqualified.  I pray that God will use me.  Another humbling revelation that God has given me is that He is excited that I am so out of my depths because He knows that I am relying on Him for every word that comes out of my mouth. For every step that I am going to take.  I think by the time that I actually get comfortable enough to feel confident, it will be about the time that I will be headed back to the state. 
     As of right now, I do want to return.  Keep all that in prayer because it is all in His hands.  I will not return unless I am certain it is what He wants.  It is the only way I will have peace and happiness in my life.  For each service for God has it's season.  I hope that He keeps me on the field for a long time doing whatever is needed.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:1-5
