Wow, well today was one of those super hard days in College that you just have to get through, and that's about all you can do. It was like finals week in one day I had four tests in one day, it was one really long day. I've been sick this week so that's been not so very fun, but I've gone to all my classes and tried to stay on top of things, which has been challenging but possible, even if only barely. So last night I stayed up late surprise, surprise but I was studying so I had a legitimate excuse. This morning I got up a lot later than I should have it was about 6:50 ish and I was the first one in my house up, I woke my brother up so he could get ready and be at the bus stop in time. Then I got ready super fast and the rest of my morning til 9:00 was spent studying for Psychology, in which I had a test on the brain and the first three chapters of the book. After Psychology I studies for my Oral Spanish test that I had at 11:40, which I got a 94%, what a relief! After that I studied for my Statistics test and my Written Spanish test. I went to Friday Forum at 12:30 and than I fit in another hour of studying. It's kind of funny slash sad that you can put so much time into studying and you can still look at the test and realize there's things you could have studied more, like you think you got them right but your not sure. Oh well I did the best I could.
I'm just glad I made it through today without breaking into tears, I was so tired, but I made it through. I know it wasn't on my own I could have never gotten through the day if I hadn't prayed for the strength to make it through. Friday Forum was also very good. Elder Donald Butler came and spoke about trials and how the lord will never ask you do go through something you are not strong enough to do, I felt like it was directed right at me. Although some of my trials and hard times may be self-inflicted I know that the lord is always understanding and there to help me, and he will help me through anything. I may not have known perfectly every answer to every test I took today, but what I do know I know, and I know that the lord loves me and all my imperfections and all of his children perfectly.
“We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.” John Newton
"Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior." John Newton
"I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am"
— John Newton
“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.” John Newton
