Please pray. For over a decade at the National University, God has given me the chance to weave theological truths and metaphysical questions into my teaching about literature. Now it seems he wants me to do that in the very heart of Islamic higher education here.

*Relationships: making good first impressions and building a foundation for future years of impact.
*Curriculum & workload: While I can use some of my former material, the reality is that this is a different environment, and I will need to create a completely new course. It is easy for the perfectionist in me to let this work take over my life. Pray for me to find balance in life and to quickly plan lessons.
*God's truth to find its way to receptive hearts.
