It's been a while

Well, I don't know if I have any readers out there, but if I do, welcome. Well quick update. I just finished my first semester of my second year. that means only 6 and a half more! But, whose counting? I have added another major, Biblical Languages. That means i am in the Pre-seminary program and have a music major and biblical language major. Right now I am studying Hebrew. I love studying languages again. I have really missed studying a language since high school. I said I wasn't going to quit studying Chinese when I graduated but I haven't don't it and now i am forgetting what I learned in four years. Other things happening in life: I am thinking about switching LCMS. Now it's not written in stone. I am having a hard time with how the ELCA interprets scripture. I have to weigh the pros and cons of staying in each. To make matters harder I just recieved money from my congregation for college. The church itself gave me some then the Women of the Church and then a couple gave me money. So my thought is, if I left the ELCA and went LCMS I would feel like I was stealing money from them. It's a hard decision. If there is anyone out there, please pray for me. If the whole ELCA was like my church I wouldn't have a problem staying, but its not. Now I am rambling. Most people are trying to discern whether to be a pastor or not. I am trying to deal with doubts about a call and on top of that whether to switch or not! This is where I need to say, "Chad, it is ultimately up to God. Don't worry about it." In Christ +
