And we're back!

The last 6+ weeks have been sort of intense around here.  Although I am still not sure what I was thinking, I signed up to take two 8-week courses at the same time.  I was taking Speech (Public Speaking) and Physics at the same time and I was barely breathing.  Here is what I learned: Physics and I are NOT friends.  Not even a little bit.  Physics is hard enough as it is, but doing it online in eight weeks might have been one of the dumbest things I've ever done.  But I prayed A LOT and God got me through.

At one point during the semester, I panicked because I was certain I was going to fail the class.  I cried and moped around and told Ryan that I didn't know what I was going to do.  But he encouraged me to stick it out and work hard.  We even went to the bookstore and bought an additional book that helped break down some of the math stuff.  I worked really hard.  I pretty much ate and breathed physics.  Going into the final last Friday, I felt confident in how much I had prepared and was feeling decent about the test, but knew that I needed a pretty good grade on the test in order to bring up my C in the class.  (I knew that having anything less than a B in the class would greatly diminish my chances of getting into OT school.)  I just kept praying and telling God that it was all in his hands.

Imagine my shock, surprise, and sheer joy when I finished my final and hit the button that would calculate my grade and it said B!  I almost started laughing right there in the testing center.  I was pumped.  But I still wasn't sure what my final grade in the class was going to be.  I waited as patiently as possible for this Monday and clicked on the "grades" button.  What do you know, I made a B in the class.  It was by the skin of my teeth, but a B is a B is a B.  I could not stop praising Jesus!  It was all because of him.

As the week as gone on and I've had more time to think and process, something as struck me.  Isaac has been asking to sing the same song every night for the last couple of weeks.  The song is: "My God is so BIG, so strong, and so mighty.  There's nothing my God cannot do..."  I was singing this song with him and realizing that although I say I believe that, I wasn't really believing it when it came to me and my physics grade.  God was so sweet to remind me the other night that He cares about everything, even physics.  And He holds all things in his hand.  And he has a plan for me.  It is possible that His plan will not include OT school, but I believe it will and I will trust Him to help me along the way.

He is good!
