wisdom and back at apu!

school started again! i was ready this year. my brain had officially turned into mush. i needed to start thinking or i'd begin irreversible damage.

first day of school outfits! on our 15th first day of school!

i'd forgotten how much apu really does live by our motto of 'god first'. (trust me, i'm going to relate this to wisdom!) my first "class" of the day was chapel. they introduced our campus text of the year, which is something in the book of proverbs. don't worry, i wasn't completely focused..
then thursday morning in my first two classes, my professors started our class with scripture and a prayer (which is something i love more and more. you couldn't get that at a uc!!) both scriptures were about wisdom (psalm 1 and proverbs 3)
thursday night i went with emily to meet jeanine for women's worship night (another event uc students miss out on...) it was much better than i expected, and even though i wasn't even that tired- i mean, it was only day 2, it was really rejuvenating. but our scripture there was proverbs 8. which is just a whole lot about wisdom. and it is so encouraging to me! i always am envious of people who seem so wise. like my meredith. but wisdom isn't just a gift. according to proverbs, the more you seek and desire wisdom, the more you find it. it reminds me a lot of having a relationship with christ. and something about that is just so cool!
read proverbs 8. it's real good. 
one more thought about wisdom: in greek the word for wisdom is sophia. so legit!


the passage i'm challenging my apartment with this week is along these lines too..
"seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
don't be impressed with your own wisdom.
instead, fear the lord and turn away from evil."


join us in living out this passage this week!
