Today doesn’t seem real… it feels like a dream. How is it
possible I have been blessed with the Calling of becoming a Pastor and being
trained a Dallas Theological Seminary? Why Jacob Drew and not someone else?
Besides
that Today marks the beginning of a new era or a new season in my life. Today
is the last Day until I begin my life a DTS Seminary Student. Starting tomorrow
I will be trained on the things of the bible so one day I will be able to speak
Gods word into the lives of others. God has placed in my heart a love for
people I have never had before. For example, The Batman shooting in Colorado, I
prayed for the victims and the families of that senseless tragedy but I prayed
even more so for the man who committed the crime. You see that is a man who is
so lost in the darkness so vulnerable to the enemies bidding he listened to the
enemy. It is our job of Christians to be the Salt and Light of the world. 
The
salt one can think of a bag of potato chips you grab one you can’t help but
grab another one and another one. Our lives should be so radically different in
this world; people should want to know why we do what we do. Light should be
that beacon of light that draws people from a far to hear the good news of
Jesus Christ. 
As
was saying earlier, today marks the end on one season and the beginning of a
new season. Since my time here at DTS I have met some amazing people who are
either attending Dallas Theological seminary as a student or as staff/Faculty.
It is awesome to be here in this environment. I have met some people I believe
we will be in regular contact for years to come. Then there are the classes. Of
course this is a graduate school. I have a total of 13 credit hours registered
for which equals to 6 classes. I will be taking…Introduction to Theology with
Doctor Horrell, Spiritual Life with Ralston, Bible Study methods and Hermeneutics
with Dr. Yarbrough, Evangelism with Doctor Cecil, Basics of Biblical Greek with
Dr. Fanning and Spiritual Formation. I’m excited in taking all of these classes
this semester. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for this area and me
in this next semester.
Even
from Dallas I miss the people I left in Florida. My best friends Pablo and Chad
to the people I referred to as family and friends and my coworkers at
McDonalds. God has something amazing planned for each of you in these coming
months, and years. I wish I could be a part of it but God has something planned
for me here in Dallas. I may not know what it is right now but I’m excited to
see God work.
