eyes to big for the mouth

Greetings to all who stumble on this page. I could use prayer for this next week. I am contemplating dropping a class because I seemed to have bitten off more than I can chew for the semester. I signed up for 3 very involved courses: Greek, Hebrew, and Kingdom of God. Languages always take quite a bit of time to stay on top them and my Kingdom of God class involves a lot of reading and exegesis. My problem with exegesis is that it is a passion of mine and I can't sit down and just throw something together. I need at least 10-15 hours for a passage to feel like i've accomplished something. Throw those classes on top being a Mr. Mom while heather works third shift and pioneering a young adult ministry and things get hairy at times. Because heather works third shift, she needs to sleep during the day so there are several days a week where I am taking care of Lyndi until she sleeps at 9pm at night. So I don't have to freedom to start studying till that appointed time. When Heather has a day off, we like to do the traditional thing and "spend time together." She's the love of my life and I miss giving her my full attention.
So, I'm about 80% sure that I am going to drop my Kingdom of God class inorder to finish strong in my language courses. I have prioritized them because I think they are essential for a teaching pastor in ministry. I am currently still maintaining A's in both classes but my KoG class seems to be heading for a C or low B. I can't allow a low grade on my records if I want to keep the option of Ph.D. work open in the future. The only consequence that this decision will bring is that I either have to cram it in a summer course, future semester, or graduate a semester later than I had attended. This decision seems to far outweigh the possiblity of not doing doctoral work in the future. Thanks for the prayers, I'll keep you updated.
Also, for those of you that aren't familiar with blogs, you can feel free to leave comments below by clicking on the "comments" link and it will be posted to this site. You can do the same for any of the other sites I maintain. Shalom!

West Campus

I know some of you haven't been able to make a trip out to visit so I thought I would post some pictures of Azusa Pacific University since that is my "full time job" right now. The pictures that are shown are of the West campus. All of the theology classes are held on the West campus at the Duke building. I am currently in my second year of my Masters of Divinity program. I love learning but I find myself restless these days and chomping at the bit to get back into full-time ministry. I'm still not sure in what capacity but I trust it will all come together before I graduate.
