Teaching Update 4

I felt more relaxed while teaching this past week, so thank you to those of you who prayed for me. God answered your prayers. I didn’t get as much sleep as I should have. Tuesday and Wednesday I only got about 5 hours of sleep, and then on Thursday I only got 2 hrs of sleep because I had to finish preparing the exam for Friday. So, the prayer for this week is that I would be able to get the sleep I need, which means that I need to be more efficient in preparing the lectures and the exam.

One other item of prayer is that there is one student who at this point is barely passing. If the student does well on the last two exams and does well on the remaining homework sets and quizzes, I think that the student can pass. I think this student has a lot of fear that is keeping him/her from learning. Pray that this student would not be afraid to ask questions or be afraid of appearing dumb. Pray that I would be able to encourage the student in an appropriate way.
