Phew.

Summer semester is killer.  I am doing good though.  I have two A's and two B's.  One of those B's is about to turn into an A, because I am going to turn in three extra credit papers (worth 5 points each) next week.  I am striving for all A's.  I may not be able to get one in Astronomy, though.  It is WAY harder than I thought it would be when I signed up.  I currently have a B.  That is good.  I have a big test next week over THREE chapters.  That is going to be rough.  I will be studying VERY hard for that test.

Spiritually all is well.  I truly feel the Lord's hand in my life.  I am so grateful for the simple blessings that I have.  I am also truly grateful for the trials that He has given me in my life thus far.  How would I know the joy if it were not for the sorrow? How would I know good health, if I had not had pain and/or injury in my life? How would I know love, if I had not experienced rejection and/or hate?

I am so thankful for my life.  I am so thankful for the trials and adversities that I have had to endure.  I am thankful for the family and friends that I have.  I am thankful for this opportunity that I have to go to college.  I am thankful for my job. 

I can honestly say that my "thank you" list is MUCH MUCH longer than my "I want/need" list.
