This week in Trent's life...

November 15, 2009

Old Testament literature was awesome! I have learned so much and have come appreciate the Bible more than I used to. Our Professor Don Taylor gave us an overview of the major events of the Old Testament and I find it easier to connect stories because I have the general idea in my head. One thing that God has really been showing me through this class is how he likes to attach meaning to physical objects and create symbols. For example, he commanded the Israelites to pile some rocks to serve as a reminder of how they came across the Jordan river. Pretty neat stuff eh?

This week of classes was very tiring to me as I pulled an all-nighter editing a video for one of our assignments. The day before that, I stayed up until 3:00 for the same reason. I am running low on juice and the work pile isn't getting any smaller. I must say it was cool to see that I have a place in this community as I was the guy for the techie stuff in this movie. The only techie work I have done so far is playing pranks on other's computers, and setting up printers. It was cool to be reminded that God has given me gifts and talents that I am to use for his benefit and the benefit of the church community. I'll try to post the video soon.

I am still having difficulty with my homework as my memory is not working as I would like it to and I still have difficulty concentrating on reading. Pray for motivation to get my work done and that I wouldn't get stressed over it. Many of the students here are still sick and they need your prayers as well.

Quick praise item: my car was leaking water into the cab and I tried fixing it and it didn't work. But at church today, I met a guy who works on Volkswagens and as soon as explained my problem he told me exactly where it was leaking and how to fix it. Now to find 5 spare hours and rip my car apart again! At least I enjoy doing this kind of stuff...

Thanks for your continued support.
