Recap of my day:

Woke up ridiculously exhausted. I woke up, got of bed, and wanted to collapse. I prayed to God for physical strength to make it through the day. Now its 12:41 AM and I made it through the day full of energy without taking a nap. I started to feel a bit drained around 4 pm at the library while studying organic chemistry. Without asking, Sharon made me a mocha and placed it on my desk. Talk about good timing! Praise God for the strength and energy that He gave me throughout the day!

That organic homework assignment was really frustrating. There was one problem that barely made any sense. I had the opportunity to get the answers in a way that would fly in the face of integrity but decided against it. Later in the library, I was studying with a friend. It just so happens that my friend's friend comes by and starts talking. Turns out that he's in pre-pharmacy as well. We started talking about classes and all that other fun pre-pharmacy stuff and then I asked him about the headache of a problem. He was nice enough to explain it to me even though 1) I just met him 2) I'm technically his competition for pharmacy school slots. Praise God for His provision!

Lately, my humility has ceased to be humility and turned more into a self-pity of "oh man, anatomy and organic chemistry are going to kick my butt and I'm going to fail!" With an anatomy exam coming up this Thursday, everyone is talking about how hard this exam is going to be and without really looking at it, I bought into the idea of failure. I felt defeated before even cracking the book to study. Well, today I started studying. I tried the practice test and it actually wasn't that bad. My self-pity turned into confidence, something that I needed. Praise God for building me back up! With confidence always comes a warning however. Don't be over-confident and remember that your talents are God-given.

I didn't realize a lot of these things until I a conversation that I had with a friend moments ago. Sometimes in all the noise and chaos, God is just a gentle whisper. He's there but He's so subtle that it's easy to overlook Him.
