Though it was only months it felt like years before the snow finally began to melt, and for good this time; giving way for the green grass too peek up through the ground.
Ahh, Spring and Summer. My two favorite seasons for the year, why? Oh, because I'm not one to enjoy the cold. I'd rather have those firefly lit nights than those nights when it's too cold to even step out to grab a few essentials from the grocery store. And I love the nights when you can just lay down and watch our Creator's magical light show in the night sky, rather than slide everywhere on the ice that covers the sidewalks and the snow that covers the grass. Not to mention, I'd much rather prefer the dresses and shorts and T-shirts to the heavy coats, fuzzy socks, scarves, sweaters, long-sleeves and the boots that are supposed to help you not slip but for some reason don't really do the job for me.
Also, the nice weather has come at the right time as I finish another year of college. I think it's quite funny how I have waited, along with many of my other friends and peers, for the days of summer when we will no longer have to do school work, or stay in at the library when we could be in watching movies, or hanging out with friends. Now that summer has finally arrived....I'm so totally bored, and it's only been three days. Oh, geez.
But the good news is, that it will just be for this week, which I think I can handle. Though I am bored, I can't say that don't I deserve this much needed break. Last semester was rough on many levels, I mean it had many highs but just as many downs if not more. Academics is so pressuring especially for a student who desires and dreams of pursuing a medical career.
Starting next week, I will start my summer courses. I will be taking organic chemistry and physics II, as well as hopefully taking on an intern position. I hope and pray that they will both be tasks that I can shine in and at the same time be places where I can really learn and be engaged in.
I know this summer is going to be a good one, because I feel like God is going to be teaching me a couple things.
Lesson one, God is good. He always has been and always will be. He is sovereign and compassionate. I know you have probably heard this a thousand times, whether through people or by reading or the TV. Some of you reading this might even roll your eyes or might sense what I'm getting at and skip down. But honestly, I'm not saying God is good because my life is perfect, I'm saying God is good especially because my life isn't perfect. But you know what, the fact that my life is so crocked and crazy and just all out exactly what life is about I have understood and gained the knowledge of why God is good. He is good because He understands our deepest struggle and He will always understand. Our God loves you SO MUCH that just one sentence or a fragment of prayer moves Him to come to your side. You may not feel it all the time, you may not believe me, but it's true. I'm a living example of it.
You must know and understand that God is always close to You because He has claimed you as His own. He died for you not because He had to, but because He looked right at you and said, "I want him/her, forever." No matter your faults or struggles, He knew all of that already, but He still wanted you and that's why He had to give up His life, because if He hadn't we would never be worthy to be called His.
So, smile all you beautiful people because you are claimed by a King, making you beautiful princes and princesses!!
