It has been a grueling two weeks as I have been in class. Last week the class focused on the technical aspects of the program I am in and this week the class I have been taking is focusing on transformation. As a family crisis and you have a reason to be tired. What I have forgotten to do again is rest in the Lord. I am amazed at how quickly I forget this.
I am looking forward to having the next three weeks off, my mornings will be focused on reading, writing and research. The afternoons will focus on getting the siding on the house. Squeezed in there will be an extended Black Hills adventure with the family.
In the next few days I will be posting reflections on some of the books I have read and how they might help me in my spiritual formation process. Some of them are a bit heavy in the area of psychology, but have been quite interesting. That is the one thing that has really surprised my about this weeks class and how the are of psychology can help to inform the area of spiritual formation. I guess that is what integration is all about.
