12 More Weeks

I realized last week that I have very limited time left at seminary, and the purpose of this blog was/is to talk about what I'm learning. It has turned out to be a wonderful processing place for me - sharing how God's shaped and molded me through this time - which has hopefully encouraged some.
Right now I'm in two classes and at the end of this semester I will have just one internship left, and that's it. But no more required courses (I'll hopefully sit in a few more while Magnus is completing his work).
So, I have just 12 more weeks of classes (plus one of Spring Break). To be honest, when this hit me it sort-of freaked me out. I feel like I'm supposed to be done and suddenly "know" what's next. I don't. I'm in my first two months of marriage and really trying to get my feet under me in that, so this whole graduation thing doesn't seem like that big a deal, yet at the same time I really want this degree and graduation to matter!
I know God will work - I know he will continue to guide Magnus and my path in His well thought out and planned way (that surprises and frustrates me). I know he will continue to provide for us, I know he will continue to remind me of his love and grace and teach me each step of the way.
But a season is about to end, a change is about to occur. And while that is exciting, there is a bit of godly mourning that needs to take place as I process and prefer to move forward.
