Life as a Bible School Student

I'm one of of your regular college students...I like my sleep in days; I sometimes procrastinate on my assignments; I love to hang out with friends and play sports on my time off. However my college is different than what you might expect. I'm not studying for medical school and I'm not learning a trade...I'm studying the Bible. Me and my fellow students are investing our time and resources into learning just one book that is hundreds of years old...this is the life I lead...this is the life of a College Student at NBBI

Schedule for a College Student at NBBI (My Mornings)

So here's a bit of what life looks like at NBBI...for me at least. Morning comes early for me at 5:00-5:30 in the morning...students are required to be up for 7:00 but I find I need the extra time. No, I don't take hour long showers but around 6:00 or a little earlier I head down the hill from the boys dorm to start my devotions for the day? You might ask what are devtions? Well I spend a while in prayer...just talking with God; sharing my requests and fears, praising Him, and bringing others before Him in prayer. After that I sepnd time reading and studying the Bible for myself...when 7:00 comes around we have our breakfast meal in our spacious dining hall and then I head back up to the dorm to get ready for the rest of the day. I believe that it is extremely important to prepare myself for the day. Although this includes physical preparation (showering, etc.) it mainly involves getting ready spiritually. My time with God is one of the most special and important parts of my day! If you have never known what it is like to actual talk with God and to recieve encouragent and instruction for living life you may not understand me sacrificing sleep to do this. (After all I still love my sleep) But When you realise the difference God makes in your life and you understand His love for you you'll want to spend more and more of your time with Him.

  1. Wow, you get up so early . . . but it so cool to see that you are desiring to follow the Lord by even giving up your sleep :) I know how hard that would be. . . praying for you.
