Wowza. We are back to busy. We have officially kicked off a new semester at school. Clint and I have Old Testament II together which should provide numerous opportunities to upstage each other. (That is the definition of love, right?) We decided to take only two classes each this time around. I'm also taking Christian Ethics, and Clint is taking his second semester of the beast that is known as History of Ideas.
Carter is also back to preschool and is well into his "I'm going to copy everything you do but in a more adorable way" stage. Speech therapy is going well; his vocabulary has blossomed so much recently! Potty training is also going well. My weekly child development email told me he is almost 28 months old (I'm obviously not one of those moms who keep up with their child's age in months), and that made me marvel at how much he has already absorbed, applied, and adjusted at his young age in his big world. God has blessed us with a child that keeps us on our toes, and we've learned so much because of that extra height.
After reading David Platt's Radical over the winter break, I decided to take part in the Radical Experiment which the author calls to those who believe they "can find satisfaction and real service to God only in abandonment to Jesus." This one-year experiment is composed of five challenges:
- To pray for the entire world.
- To read through the Bible.
- To commit our lives to multiplying community.
- To sacrifice our money for a specific purpose.
- To give our time in another context.
So look for updates and more details on the Radical Experiment and how I'm doing. I hope to breakdown the walls our society has constructed that give us entitlement and little need for the radical faith and sacrifice that ALL Christians should live by daily. Through this I'm interested in seeing God strip away the layers of my heart.
And now, if I haven't jumped around enough in randomness with this update, some family pictures from the past week:
