I have to blog something to keep my site.  I should do this more often but who has the time!!

Yesterday was the first day of school.  I haven't gone to school in two years.  I never thought that I would be coming back to MSU-Bozeman.  I thought I would just apply to med school and get accepted and go there.  I guess that God had other plans for my life because He sure is changing things.  I am now a full-time student at MSU again.  I am taking just 12 credits, retaking two classes to up my GPA and taking an EMT class where I will hopefully get a lot of medical expereince.  It is strange being back in school.  I feel so out of place.  I feel like I did the first time I came to MSU as a transfer student back in 2002.  I am not looking forward to this year but I feel like God is going to teach me something.  I hold on to the fact that God is still God and He knows what He is doing no matter what my emotions are telling me now. 

On a more positive note, I took the MCAT on August 19th.  It is so nice to have that weight off my shoulders.  I prayed that God would give me the right test to take (they have different versions) and I believe that He did!  The test I had was different than many people I talked to during the testing day.  It was mostly on the stuff I studied as well.  I believe that He was with me as I took the test and am confident about how the test went.  I have to wait 7 more weeks to find out my score! 

Well guess I will go it is time for another class to begin. 

God is so good!  I am in awe and humbled at His goodness.  He is WHO He says He is and He can do what He says He can do!!  I sometimes put Him in a box and limit what He can do and how much power He has.  God is so much more and can do so much more than the limits I put on Him.  I have been trying to collect letters of recommendation from 4 different people and it has been so incredibly frustrating!  I thought I had it all figured out and all the letters were going to come in and then everything fell apart!  I was crushed and frustrated.  I went to Bible Study on Tuesday night and asked the group for God's favor and for Him to open doors for my letters.  They prayed for me that night.  Two days later He has answered those prayers!!  I had it all worked out with a doctor to shadow him and spend time in his clinic so that I could see what he does and so that he could get to know me to write a letter of recommendation for me.  I thought that was all going to work out and then Monday it fell through completely.  I didn't know what else to do.  Today I got a call from the nurse and she said that the doctor would let me observe him for a half day and write a letter of recommendation for me!  Isn't God so good?  Right when all MY plans had failed He shows up and His plans work out better than mine ever could have.  Thank you God for your amazing grace!!  I only need one letter of recommendation now!  I believe that God is going to open doors for that letter too!  With the Lord nothing is impossible and I am standing on that!!  I am so lucky to have such a caring , loving , merciful father in heaven!!
