To all the readers of the Voice of EBC; your mission should you choose to accept- wait a minute, wrong message. Hey everyone! Welcome to the second last week of classes. I suppose there are some people who are happy about this and others such as me who are a bit sad about it. I can’t lie to you; it’s strange to think that after this semester, I’m halfway done my education here at Emmanuel Bible College. I’m sure some of the graduates are having the same kinds of feelings; happiness and sadness about finishing. For anyone in their first year, trust me your time at EBC flies by faster than you’d expect!

This is the part where I write about something totally unrelated to the newspaper…

A week or two ago I was walking down the street on the way back from the gym when I encountered an intersection with traffic lights. As soon as I was going to step out onto the road, the light changed to yellow, then green and I knew I couldn’t have crossed the road; I had to wait. Such a setback usually doesn’t bother me, however every bone and muscle in my body was aching, the wind was blowing my wet, matted hair and I was ready to pass out in the middle of the sidewalk and take a small nap in between traffic lights. Instead though, my mind began to wander (scary thought) and I began to think about my life. I thought to myself there are so many intersections I’m caught in on a daily basis in terms of time management, when to do homework exc. that sometimes I walk blindly into traffic because I’m not paying attention to what I should be doing. God places traffic lights in my life to tell me when it’s safe to cross the path, when to stop and go and when the right timing is for all things. All I have to do is look to the light. Despite pain, fatigue or circumstance God will provide a way that is good and that will give us peace in His timing.
