I am just sitting here thinking about how tough this past semester was for me. I lost my babysitter the first week of classes, my vehicle was in the shop, I couldn't afford to purchase all of my books, but as always I made it through. God blessed me with a babysitter better than the one I had before, Don paid for my vehicle repairs, and a classmate of mine was kind enough to copy the entire chapters assigned to us in the books I wasn't able to purchase.
This semester was a tremendous amount of work compiled with an upheaval of personal responsibilities to tackle. I cried, I laughed, I prayed, and sometimes all in the same day. There were days when I honestly just wanted to give up. I found myself focusing on how difficult the semester was so often, I forgot to celebrate my accomplishments. Today I just want to thank God for giving me the strength to move forward when I didn't think I could. I just want to say Thanks to Otis, Violet, Don, Karen, Okai, The Murchinsons, Sue and everyone else that allowed God to use you as a blessing to help me get through.
I also had to check myself because once I made it through the semester I complained about getting a 3.0 instead of the 3.8 that I'm accustomed to. I couldn't see how much of a blessing it was to just make it through the semester. My vision is much clearer now and I see that all of my worrying was for nothing. Although, I couldn't see it at the time God had already resolved my problems before I even knew they existed. He knew what I needed before the need presented itself and made the provisions accordingly!

God will always be with us even when we fail to meet his expectations and fall short. He loves us unconditionally no matter what we do. I know this has become a cliche but consider this: when your kids disobey you do you love them any less because of it? God loves us much deeper than we can comprehend despite our short comings and disobedience. We being born into evil, and yet can still forgive and be there for our kids how much more will God be there for us as his children?-------It's something to think about when we get discouraged or think God isn't there for us when we mess up! Keep pushing forward, ignore your feelings(they can be deceptive), and know that God is always there. Kal08.
This semester was hard to get through, but we did it regardless of what the devil was trying to do. God will never give us more than we can handle and i believe that. when it gets hard for me to get through i just look up and say "O.K Lord what do you want me to learn from this? I'm listening! and after i talk to him and reflect on what is going on an answer always appear. growing up my father always said Jesus is always right even when you don't agree, he is right. i am happy that we made it through and just remember Gem, if it wasn't meant for us to be here, where we are today, we would not be. This is God's plan for us and we must obey!
