Success!

Dear friends,

I have survived my first week of school! And it has been absolutely amazing. One of the coolest things is that each professor clearly is passionate about Jesus and about students. In each class we open with prayer. The atmosphere is very uplifting and encouraging.
I am so excited about each of my classes (with the exception, perhaps of "Principles of Lifetime Fitness--but that's only a 8 week class anyway). I am not sure which one will end up being my favorite, but I think I will end up appreciating The Church and Its Doctrines the most, even though it will probably ensue the most work. That class is full of information and the professor is a guiness. On that note actually, all of my professors are incredibly intelligent, which is super exciting. One of my professors looks exactly like my dad...he even has the same jokes, which makes his class so very entertaining.
I am really feeling like I am settled in. I'm meeting tons of people, which is great. I still don't have a job, but I'm trying hard to trust God with that. There is a possibility that I might be able to get a job as an office assistant at Moody, so if you would pray about that, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if you're willing to pray for me, pray that God will remain my focus. There's a lot going on, and it can be a bit crazy. I'm so very excited to attend a school where I can emerge myself in the Bible, however, I never want it to become 'just homework' or something that I'm so used to that the wonder and mystery just isn't there. I do not want my studying of the Bible to ever become mundane. So please pray that God will continue to pursue me, that I will continue to learn so much about His Word, and that my thirst and hunger for Him will never cease!

In Christ,

Hannah Joy
