Honest Reflections of a D.Min. Student
HELP!!!
I’m exhausted. I feel like I haven’t slept in years. I’m procrastinating because I know how much work there is going to be.

I need rest. I can’t find my…. who knows anymore?! I’m jittery. I’m overwhelmed. I’m trying to keep my head above water. It’s dragging me down! I don’t know what to do!
Is this how the disciples felt?
