The storm is passing over

The worst of it is over...for now. I guess I still have finals to look forward to in a week and a half. I just finished my genetics test. That's the last of the hard ones. I have one more physics lab final tomorrow, but that shouldn't be too difficult. This week wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. Maybe because I sacrificed things like sleep and work.

Things that made this week almost enjoyable:

1) Good friends who prayed for me and sent me encouraging notes. Thank you.

2) A much needed break last night when I met up with two friends who were in town. It was fun to see them and do something not related to school. We went on a riverboat tour on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Did you know that the most common items found in the river when they clean it annually is the silverware from the restaurants? Makes sense. What I want I want to know is what they do with the jewelry and other valuables that they also find.

3) Little things that let me know that God was in charge. My favorite was a random email from somebody at church that I don't get to talk to all that often. She said she was about to go to bed but felt impressed to write me to tell me not to freak out about the end of the semester. This proved to be a great source of comfort two days later when I found out that a friend didn't get into med school who had followed a similar path of returning to Texas post graduation to do prereqs and apply. It made me realize that it could easily happen to me. Knowing that friends were praying for me and that Heavenly Father was inspiring people to send me encouragement reminded me that I'm not in charge. Thank goodness. I hate being in charge.
