No longer are we Bevin, but Led in Triumph!!!!

OHHH MANG!!! I can’t believe my life as a grad student finally started. As of today, Jon and I still haven’t been able to register for our classes yet because we’re still not officially students yet, but all is good! Having to wake up at 6 in the morning and getting ready was such a hassle because I usually wake up after 9. I need more discipline yo! So for today’s orientation we all had to dress up in a formal attire and to me, it’s really uncomfortable to wear a dress shirt, a slack, and a tie. I got to get used to this though because I’ll be wearing this for the next couple of years as a student teacher.

At 7:35ish I got to Crystal’s house and got my bike out to ride to campus and my bike worked terribly. Throughout the ride downhill from Crystals house I felt like I was going to die within the traffic or not even make it to class. Luckily everything went well and I’m still in one piece. When Jon and I got to the pavilion where we have orientation, there was barely anyone there and in the back of my mind I wish I woke up later and got to school later. Orientation started at 9 and went on for a pretty long time. The director of the college of education started us off with a great video on teamwork which I thought was pretty interesting and inspiring. I don’t remember the site but I’ll look for it later and post it. We finished the orientation and everything at 11, which was a lot earlier than what was planned.

Honestly how I feel right now about being in the credential program, I’m really worried and nervous. It’s going to be rigorous and it will consume a lot of my time. Not being registered into classes makes me scared even more. One thing that is keeping me encouraged was what I shared in my message yesterday is that God constantly reminds us that He is always with us, FEAR NOT! All the registration and difficulties and trials that I may face, I really shouldn’t fear at all. One great thing is that I’m really glad that I’m not going alone in this path, knowing that I have a brother to run alongside with. If Jon really wasn’t there, I think I would have a much rougher time being in the program. Just being in the same room as Jon makes me feel more comfortable and not alone. God definitely has blessed me in this area knowing that I’m not going at this alone. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Becca I really don’t know how you did it, but you did! Tomorrow I’ll be back in the same area again…6 in the morning, what next?

I was looking through my pictures from last years China mission trip, I wish I had gone this year if it weren’t for my summer school classes. I know that I’m a missionary here at home, but man… I have forgotten what it was like to have that missionary lifestyle and attitude. As I was driving to Fullerton earlier today, I realized that school was starting really soon in less than two weeks and I was being reminded a lot on my heart for teaching and refocusing on my vision. Right now I’m still in summer school since June 1 and won’t be done till this Friday. Along with that, I still have a lot of things that needs to be done but I have so little time. I haven’t registered for my classes yet for the Fall because I still don’t know how to do it, which is a pain in the pi gu. From then on I only have ten days to sit, think, refocus, pray, and prepare for my upcoming year. Thinking about the future can be a pretty scary thought, but it is also exciting as well! ptL!

I guess I’ve finally entered the world of tumbling! I am going to figure out how to use this and try to update as much as I can on things that I’m learning. Hope you guys will enjoy. =)
