STRESSED
*WARNING: El is about to messily pour forth the bowels of his thoughts and emotions*WAHHHH!!!! So stressed la just now!! Super stressed la seriously!! So many attachments to organize in my super-long Clinical Experience Report!! FUH.
Sumore I made the mistake of choosing to finish off the Report instead of studying more for my Business Stats test. I know I messed up on at least one problem. *sighs*
Oh well. Learn from mistakes la. :)
Just thought I'd let out some steam. Hehe. =p
On another note, God is AMAZING!! Had a test for American National Government with Dr. Parks today, and he allowed us to TYPE our exam!! Those of you who know the speed difference between my handwriting and my typing know what that means to me, also considering the fact that Parks' tests are exclusively short answer/essay, and are slated for 50 minutes. Needless to say, I feel really good about the test. *pumps fist*
Ah, also been having to CRY OUT to God for physical (and mental and emotional) strength to deal with my workload this sem. While I do recognize that I'm feeling stressed and overwhelmed and burnt out at times, I also recognize that what I'm going through is but a taste of what others have to go through, so I shall not complain on my soapbox. That is not my purpose here. My purpose here is to make sure everyone knows just how FANTABULOUS our Heavenly Father is. You know that passage in Isaiah 40? Here, read it again:
10 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
and his arm rules for him.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has understood the mind [d] of the LORD,
or instructed him as his counselor?
14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge
or showed him the path of understanding?
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.
17 Before him all the nations are as nothing;
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.
18 To whom, then, will you compare God?
What image will you compare him to?
19 As for an idol, a craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.
20 A man too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot.
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not topple.
21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
25 "To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
"My way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my God"?
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
WAH. Good ya? Hehe.. Had personal LIVE experience with the last portion of this passage man.. From Wednesday to Friday.. Woke up on Wednesday morning positively BUSHED and drained.. Dragged myself to prayer meet, and was TOTALLY REJUVENATED. Trusted God to provide strength, and He DID.
You should try it!! :)
Also, if you're a Christian reading this, do pray for Huei Yin, a friend of mine - pray that our Father show what a loving, healing God He is to her by healing her skin of eczema. A fabulous opportunity for us to show off our INCOMPARABLE God!! Pray with me ya?
