I am blessed to attend Liberty University Online; and honestly I cannot be more grateful for the opportunity that the Lord has given me. I’m enjoying my classes. I’m learning a lot, I’m being challenged, and the Lord is blessing me abundantly. One of the drawbacks, however, in participating in a distant learning program is that you miss out on interaction. Sometimes I have questions regarding the text, or the conclusion drawn by the author, or the implications made by certain assertions, but I am unable to bring those up and discuss them. I have to do further research on my own and pray that the Lord will guide me in the right direction.
What about those times when ideas clash? We don’t really have a forum to fully engage in dialog. In papers and reports with space limitations you don’t always have the opportunity to deliver your fully developed thoughts to your instructor and classmates, so you give them just a sample and hope they understand. It can be difficult and frustrating at times, but I will move forward faithfully.
Even with this, I cannot help but praise God for the opportunity that I have now. God is good all the time; and all the time God is good!
Blessings.
