The Final Leg Begins Today

okay, not to be melodramatic, but today, Monday, July 28 marks the beginning of the final leg of German studies, Theological German 2. There are now only three weeks left to prepare for the much dreaded German Reading Exam for which I have separated myself for the better part of the summer months. All so that I may pass it and be able to get that point checked off on my prerequisites.

to this point I've done well. But the way we're being taught in class seems a bit different from how the Reading Exam will be conducted. I can't help shaking the feeling that I'm being well equipped for having tools to translate material after the fact, but that when it comes to the exam, I will not be so well prepared.

dear reader, if you are so disposed, please lift me up in prayer to the One who created me and knows me, who called me to undertake this work, this calling. Ask the Lord God to give me the knowledge, wisdom, and discernment to be able to effectively translate and comprehend enough of what I'm given in the Reading Exam to show that I should pass. The Reading Exam in August 14th.

Thank you, and may the Lord who created you in His image grant you all that you need this day to know Him, and to be able to do all that He has called you toward. God's blessings in Jesus' name!
