So I near the end of my school year here at the U of S and I have begun thinking about what has happened over the past year. In terms of school as I mentioned I have found out that Commerce is not for me, yeah to making no money. O well I believe strongly that History is for me and I am looking forward to studying in a field that I have had an interest in for the last several years. Although I must admit that writing an honours thesis which although I have a million ideas in my head of what I want to write it on, writing 30-40 pages is not going to be fun, oh well I don't have to worry about that until 4th year.
In terms of spiritually I really feel I have been challenged this year, and it has really forced me to strongly think on what I believe, and acting on my faith. One thing that has really struck me this year is being more evangelical, and this is something that I really struggle with as all of you know that I am a very shy person, and talking to strangers especially about God is something I really struggled with. Another thing that I have begone to slowly start to learn is to put more trust in God, and make my faith more of a reality and a heart thing, if that makes any sense at all. So really yeah I have gained a lot of knowledge about my faith and so it's a lot about just getting all this head knowledge of apologetics and the such and turn it into the true feeling of belonging to God's family and seeing his love in my life.
Well thanks for reading my rants, and I write you all again in a week or so.
Your brother in Christ,
Tyler

I have studied some Christian apologetics myself, and I love it. The head knowledge I've gained from it has created more awe for the supernatural elements of our faith, which are not completely explanatory from an intellectual standpoint. Don't feel like you have to prove everything that you believe, since the Bible mentions that the things of God are foolish to those whose spirits are not yet alive. Dream interpretation is one prime example of this.
It's great to see how the Lord is speaking to you through what you're learning. All the best in history; that's a great spot for you to be in!
