My overall hope for this class is to grow closer to our Father. Through this class I want to continue improving myself for the Lord. I want to learn healthy skills not to get lost in academics but to strive to know more about him, to learn. I am really looking forward to the mentoring. Since my mentor and I, to this point, have not had a consistent meeting schedule. This forces us to be consistent, and I really appreciate that aspect. I look forward to the “self-care” side of this class. I am excited to walk along this path with my classmates. My biggest concern is that I am new to the pastor world, so all of this feels daunting. Being so new, at times I question my capabilities as a pastor, and I hope that this class helps bring a sense of confidence in that area.
I want to commit to God, an openness to learn, let go, and let him take full control. I want to commit to myself, a never-give-up attitude, grace, and understanding. I want to commit vulnerability, honesty, and humility towards my classmates. I want to commit respect, a teachable spirit, and a heart of learning to my professors. I am anxiously surrendering to the Lord. I am so excited to see what he does in my life and all of my classmate's lives during our time together in seminary.
YHWH, grant us the wisdom we need to do seminary and work with those in our mission fields. YHWH help our hearts to be open to learn and help us to stay humble. YHWH help us to continue to have teachable spirits. Let us love and respect one another. YHWH we love you and give you thanks for this opportunity. Thank you for calling us into this position. Thank you for creating us for such a time as this. YHWH we thank you for the opportunities that you have given us. May we never take these opportunities for granted. Amen!
