Assignment

So I'm sitting in the library right now. I just finished my last assignment of the year for LOC. I have one last assignment to do for the entire fall term. But I wanted to take a bit of a break to check my email (... /Facebook...). Then I thought I'd go ahead and write today's post on this blog while I'm online. The only thing on my mind right now is this last assignment I've got, so I figured I might as well write about it. The assignment is for Christian Discipleship. I have to write a Spiritual Growth Plan. A paper, essentially, which is designed "to facilitate self-evaluation of distinctive personal attributes pertaining to my spiritual walk, and to determine systematic and measurable means by which I will mature in my faith in Jesus Christ." Straight off the syllabus. I'm technically really excited to write my plan out. This is tough, though. Our first assignment for this class was a Spiritual Journey paper. That was easy. Writing about the past is no problem. But writing about the future? Entirely different story. I know I've said before that I like to plan things out and know what's going to happen. And this is kind of a chance to just go at it with full force and work out this crazy-awesome plan... but as I've been learning to sort of sit back and give the reins to God, I don't know where to start. I've just sort of let things fall into place. Also, it's a plan as to where I'm going to go with my faith. What I'm going to do with it, how I'm going to grow. That's a different kind of plan than how I'm going to spend my summer vacation... or even how I'm going to live my life after I graduate. I really am stoked to write this thing - but it's truly going to take a bit of thinking, that's for sure. I probably should have been thinking about it quite some time ago... seeing how the paper is due at 1:30 in the afternoon tomorrow... but hey, it's how I do. I'm not worried about getting it done. Trust me, it will get done. But I'm definitely going to have to sit and and plan this... plan. !
