This has been a really long week...being 24, not that great...I'm busy trying to find a position that will take me overseas...hopefully there's something out there that will just cover my bills, right now everyone that gets back to me seems to think that I just have money lying around...At this point most of these organizations feel as though I want to pay to be overseas and can afford to pay my bills here... I'm not looking to make money, just break even... We'll see what happens...

This week has flown by......Underground Seminary has started...very exciting...I started looking at what I am going to have to do to apply for Medical School...This is going to be a very long arduous process...I just want to make sure that everything is done by the time I can turn in my application...I have little more than a month and am slightly nervous since I am applying blindly...I won't have my M.C.A.T. scores back until a month after I apply...Anyways, on to happier topics...Robbie and I are back in business...We praciticed for a few hours yesterday...It was awesome...The writing process is really starting to come together and I am loving it...Started learning some theory...That was very exciting...So we'll see what happens...I started looking for another job last week...This is another long process, but again...we'll see what happens

El Fin...Saturday was brutal...it was such a long day...I arrived at 7:40 a.m. and left at 5:10 p.m...I think that the proctor's that we had did not know what they were doing because we were the last group to leave...Needless to say I was very tired and was losing my concentration during the exam...I am hoping that my adrenaline clouded my judgment on how I did on the exam...because I definitely didn't feel all that good about it...We'll see what happens...Anyways, it's over and my only prayer request at this point is that I don't have to retake the test...I am trying to be hopeful and optimistic that God took care of business on Saturday...I have to admit it was difficult to feel close to my Lord and Saviour on Saturday in the midst of all that was going on...thanks again, for the prayers and I will keep you all updated as to what the outcome of the test is....I don't receive my scores until June so that's not very comforting...Anyways, that's the latest...Back to reality and life as I knew it 4 months ago...

Today I was afforded the great opportunity of going to New Albany and spending some time in prayer at a cabin...It was very refreshing to spend some time reading, worshiping, and praising God for who He is and all that He has done. I feel very refreshed and blessed...I just wanted to share a little of what I wrote from my journal today..."It's the day before the exam...I'm here at a cabin in New Albany...This week has been pretty amazing...The community (Landing Place) has been praying over me...Everyone has been ultra-encouraging...I 'm so thankful for all of them...I reflect on how any of this could've been possible without them...How could I have done this anywhere else?! God strategically chose Columbus, Oh and I am thankful...I read Psalm 20 and Hebrews 13:20-21...both of these scriptures spoke in powerful ways...May He continue to fill me with love and joy...Where else could I receive such amazing gifts? May tomorrow be awesome...That He may reveal His Glory on the M.C.A.T. score sheet...May all pride be removed this day that God may freely work...May my heart be pure...To Him be all glory and honor and praise..."

This is the last week of studying before the big exam...For those of you that don't know it is this Saturday the 17th...Fear and trepidation have been plaguing my soul...However, I know that the Lord is in control...I have sent many people out an email requesting prayer and this post is really a request for prayer to those of you whose emails I don't have...If you could all pray that I experience the peace of the Lord this next week and in the up and coming months that would be great...I have been experiencing a great deal of anxiety over this endeavour as well as frustration and fatigue...I am in desperate need of the Lord's strength...Please pray that I might feel His loving arms embrace me and that I might fully connect with the fact that He is jealous for His own glory and that His name cannot be defamed...that if this is the Lord's will, what can stand in opposition to it? Thank you all for your love and support and please continue to pray with me throughout this week and in to the next few months..."Christ as a light illumine and guide me...Christ as a shield...Christ under me...Christ over me..."

I don't think that I could be more depressed. My scores from yesterday were absolutely deplorable...I can only pray that test day will be different, because at this point I feel as though I have wasted three months studying...I feel like I have wasted a lot of time and energy for nothing...I can only hope that this weekend will be different because at this rate I don't think that I have the wherewithal to continue without some sort of light at the end of the tunnel...The last two weeks have done nothing other than demoralize me in every way...I can only pray that God is being glorified through all of this because I am rapidly losing heart....
