Is my soul showing?

Every one asks how school is going or how I like my classes, but most of the time I don't know how to respond. Of course I don't like homework. Of course there are cool things I'm learning. But please don't ask me to give a global assessment of my enjoyment. I was so looking forward to grad school but now that I'm here it is no big deal...most of the time.
Today we had a discussion about integration after our exam. We talked about what it means to be a Christian therapist, the calling some of us have felt, the desire to bring healing to another's heart, and the way that God uses us as instruments of reconciliation. The thing is, I get bored with school when I think of it in terms of work and exams. But when I think about the work God has called me to and all the lives that could be impacted in my lifetime, I am filled with energy. You guys know that I thrive in relationship, but this is so much more than that. There is this indescribable joy that I feel knowing that I will be partnering with God in his work and that I will be an instrument of his grace. It is almost like a taste of the Kingdom to come in which we will be serving and worshiping unencumbered by the things of this world. Do you guys think about these things? I don't often, but then I wonder why not. It lifts me so and puts everything in perspective. It is so easy to be shortsighted about our purpose, distracted by what we are immediately feeling, or preoccupied by acquiring possessions. I need these reminders to keep me grounded and remind me of what is important.
