The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him." ~Lamentations 3:22-24 I really can't believe my first year of graduate school is over with and now with summer class over and summer clinic almost over...it really feels like my first year is done. Its amazing how much God has shown me this past year...about how faithful He is, even when we're not. Honestly, the first semester in Lubbock was great...everything was new and exciting, but after spending Christmas break in Austin, it was so hard to come back and go through another semester. The 2nd semester was SO MUCH HARDER! I really didn't think I was gonna make it. I probably cried everyday because I felt like I was working so hard, but not getting anywhere and started to question whether this was right for me. Wow...God really humbled me because every exam, paper, and clinic assignments I was pretty sure I failed or did bad in...I ended up doing even better than I thought. Being in Lubbock has been pretty difficult for me...not because its a small town, I mean...I am from Port Lavaca, but because its so far away from everywhere...unless I want to go to New Mexico, but who do I know in New Mexico? There was this Sunday night I was watching tv and Joel Osteen was on...some ppl refer to him as the antichrist...haha I do it sometimes, but if you want some motivation...he's really good at it. hahaha Anyways, he was talking about how God leads us to places and we don't understand why, but its His best for us and that's where He can bless us the most at that moment in our lives. Its so true! I feel so blessed with everything He has given me and all that has happened to me ever since I decided to come here.  Soooo many ppl have been praying for me and I know that has A LOT to do with it. My family and Samuel had to listen to me at my worst and I know it was annoying, but they were all so encouraging. I'm pretty sure I'll probably feel like that again next yr...but I just need to remember how faithful God is and the power of prayer. I don't know why and maybe it was God trying to remind me of how powerful He is...but during those times of worry, stress, doubts,and craziness...that song we use to sing as kids in church was constantly in my head...u know... "My God is so great so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are his, the rivers are his, the stars are his handiwork too. My God is so great so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do!" So I guess my point is...God is so faithful and all the glory goes to Him. I leave u with a picture of the girls outside of clinic just having some fun, a picture with someone who makes me extremely happy, and my cute nephew and niece . ( My sister doesn't post pictures of my other nephew...so I don't have any at the moment =/ )
