Letters from Lilongwe

This week has been long but amazing!!  Coming back from a great time of resting, reading, and community over spring break I landed hard back at Tech.  There were two CS HW's due early in the week that consumed most of my time and energy.  I also had a ISYE test on Thursday that I was continually keeping in the back of my mind.  Basically school is taking a lot of my energy as I try to apply myself in school for the Glory of God.

Make me, shape me into everything that you want me to be Make me, and shape me into everything that you want me to be So place me on the potter's wheel, Spin me until there's nothing left but you in my life 'Cause brokeness is what I want to do a work here in my heart So when you look at me you see your reflection So form me, come fashion me into everything that you want me to be So form me
