How are you growing?
With just a week to go before our Study and Reading weeks, you've likely got a good sense of what this semester can and will be. We hope you are excited about how God is growing you through your studies and relationships with your lecturers and other students.
While the Study and Reading weeks are not a "break," we hope they give you space to get your head around upcoming assessments and settle in for the home stretch. There will still be stuff to do for your courses, so keep up with CareyOnline, as your lecturers have self-directed study for you to engage with each week. Take some time to look ahead so you don't get behind.
As you keep diving into course work, spend some time reflecting on how you've encountered Jesus throughout this semester. How have you been challenged? What have you discovered about yourself? What excites you?
