Good Friday

Good Friday is the mirror held up by Jesus so that we can see ourselves in all our stark reality, and then it turns us to that cross and to His eyes and we hear these words, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." That's us! And so we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. We see in that cross a love so amazing so divine that it loves us even when we turn away from it, or spurn it, or crucify it. There is no faith in Jesus without understanding that on the cross we see into the heart of God and find it filled with mercy for the sinner whoever he or she may be.

Sunday Night Movie

Romeo and Juliet is one of my all time favorite movies and of course, Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio are the perfect couple to play them. If you haven't seen it, this excerpt will definitely make you want to. Hope you have had a great weekend! <3

PISCES Mar, 22, 2012
One thing that defines you, Pisces, is your ability to have faith. If you are religious, you are committed to the philosophies of your religion. If you choose to believe in a cause or a person, your belief is complete and free of doubt. But you may now be experiencing a crisis of faith, of sorts. What are you having trouble believing in? Yourself! You have every reason to trust a recent choice you made, as well as the way you handled it. Have faith that you did the right thing. Have faith in your integrity. Have faith in your intuition. And you will soon see proof that you did the right thing.

Just Call Me Dr. Lawrence

Well Good News Everyone!! Just in case you haven't heard yet… I've been accepted to Pharmacy School! Yaaaaahhhhh! I could not be more excited or more motivated than I am right now! All my fears are behind me and all I have left to do is get through these classes this semester and this summer and it will be smooth sailing. Well then there is actual Pharmacy School, but we aren't going to jump too far ahead. I am just so excited to not have to worry about the whole applying and interview process and mainly focus on my school work. Thank you for all of your prayers and support, it means the world to me! Here is a preview of the letter I received….   :) :) :) :) :) :) 
Awesome, huh?! I hope you have had a great week as well <3

Alone With You

*Oh Happy Day*

I had my Biochemistry test this morning and I stayed up all night studying for it. I felt fairly good about the test when I left the building. I went to meet up with a friend I have met here to walk to our next class. I was so exhausted, I could barely keep my eyes open during class. It is Wednesday and I have had my first test of three and three lab reports due any day now. You could say that I have been stressed to the MAX. So as I am walking back to my car from class, it's an overcast, gloomy day and I'm feeling just tired and run down. I decide to check my e-mail as I wait to walk across the crosswalk… if you go to Auburn you know this can take a long time… and honestly it was like the clouds parted, the sun came out, and I had this overwhelming feeling of joy as I see an e-mail from Auburn being invited to an interview for Pharmacy School. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment. I have been working on my pre requisites for about 2+ years and I began this application process last summer. With a few set backs, I have pushed through, still working hard, and praying for God's plan in my life no matter what it may be. I have been stressed and anxious about the whole process but still trying to stay positive. The sermon at church this past Sunday was about Abraham and Sarah and how God promised them a child but being in their old age, they decided to not wait on God's promise and do it their way. God eventually fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah even though they didn't have faith that He would follow through. Pastor Chris preached about waiting on God's timing in your life and trusting and relying on Him to meet your wants and needs. This really spoke to me and I realized how I was trying to be in control of the situation instead of letting God take control for the plans of my life. So I let it go and decided that I would do everything to the glory of God and He will work out the details. I honestly was not expecting that letter today and I cannot even put into words how excited and thankful I am to have this opportunity to meet with the Admissions Committee. It does happen to fall on the same day as my Mammalian Test 2 but at this point I do not mind at all, I am just so ecstatic! This has truly been one of the best days I have had in I can't remember… no sleep and all! :) I hope you have all had a good week! My interview is Monday and I should find out within 24 hours whether I will be joining the Class of 2012! Prayers are much needed! I guess it's time for me to start on this Mammalian some more! <3


Quote of the Night: 
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power 
   and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, 
   for everything in heaven and earth is yours. 
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; 
   you are exalted as head over all. 
 Wealth and honor come from you; 
   you are the ruler of all things. 
In your hands are strength and power 
   to exalt and give strength to all. 
 Now, my God, I give you thanks, 
   and praise your glorious name.
~ 1 Chronicles 29:11-13
