So I blink for just a second and suddenly we are almost halfway through april. Madness.. madness I say.
I can't believe how fast the year is going. Actually, yes I can. The year goes by faster and faster every year and it always seems so impossible to catch up. I feel like I am always two steps behind the world.
I'm feeling a little better. I'm not 100% where I feel I should be. I refuse to let anything get me down. It's just the stress from all the paper writing and studying and it's wearing me down. I also refuse to give up.
There are several classmates of mine that are also feeling the pressure and are considering postponing their education another year. If I do that, I will never finish. I will always find that it's a "bad time" and I'll always find a reason to postpone it another year.. and another year.. and another year until I run out of time completely and I regret never going for it.
It's just a year and a half. I can handle a year and a half. I have supportive family and friends and a loving God that will always guide me in the right direction and hold my hand through it all. I have no doubt that I will succeed because the Lord has blessed me in so many ways. Because of Him, I know I can do anything.
Well.. I better go write my paper now. It's the final paper for this first class, which ends on Monday. See.. I told you time flies!

i found your blog through BlogExplosion -- it must be a God Thing that i'm stumbling across christian blogs today! i'm psyched!
i'm also a christian. i'm 27-going-on-28 and married with a four-month-old. you can go here to read more about me, if you're interested in becoming blogging buddies.
i love your "blog to God" idea too! :D
I know you can do it. Several times when I was writing my dissertation I almost gave up but my wife pushed me to keep on. I did and I made it. You will make it. God won't fail you.
If you found this book intriguing, you will definitely enjoy reading My Stroke of Insight - a Brain Scientist's Personal Journey" by Jill Bolte Taylor, and her talk on TED dot com about her stroke which is an 18 minute talk you Must Not Miss! (there's a reason it's been forwarded friend to friend millions of times!).
When you read the book and see the TEDTalk, you'll understand why this Harvard brain scientist was named Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People. Her unique experience, combined with her perspective as a neuroanatomist, and her sensitivity and awareness (not to mention beautiful writing style!) has produced something so powerful and so revolutionary that I think it's going to become a transformational movement in itself. Oprah also did four interviews with her (that I was able to download on the Oprah website) that are also worth checking out.
I am trying to share Dr Taylor's story with as many people as I can because I truly believe if everyone saw it the world would be so much better and people would love one another and no longer fight.
