at the moment - 99% of health sci students are in one of the most stressful and life-defining 10 days of their life. you fail one of these papers and your hopes and dreams of being a doctor are goneskies, even if you get a few too many B's or a C - you're chances have just decreased by a billion. it's fair to say that dunedin is a fairly tense place right now for students haha. but not for me, i'm just taking each day as it comes loving him, living in his peace aaand - don't gemme wrong - working my little bottom off, but i'm far from stressed!
So there i was today just loving life walking to the super market today slash practically skipping/cartwheeling down the road so in awe of how beautiful, loving, and amazing our God is. it was just one of those days - one where i couldn't wipe a smile off my face, one where i was pretty much searching the streets for sick people to pray for, one where i was almost brought to tears just thinking about how awesome God is. i love those days. theeeeeeeeeeeeeen... I went to this tutorial tonight with this crazy chem lady who made some stupid comment about the tooth fairy and Jesus not being real. and my whole world just came crashing down - not cause I was mad at her, not cause it made me doubt Jesus for a millisecond, but just cause it honestly broke my heart thinking that she's never had a day like I had today. my day was an ordinary day, i studied, i slept, i had a coupe of meals and i went for a walk, but it was filled with an extraordinary saviour - but it just hit me that all these people in the room had never experienced what it was to have nothing to be happy about yet be so filled with his joy, or to have a terrible day but for everything to come right the moment you felt his presence, or to know no matter what that you were loved beyond measure every second of every day. This year has been one of growth and i've come to appreciate more than ever before everything that our God is. Seriously its unfathomable how cool he is! He's love when we're lonely, he's peace when we're restless, he's comfort when we're afraid, he's strength when we're weak - and my life would be nothing like it is without him. I try imagine taking him out of my life, and it would suck - but thats the life so many people live. When they're lonely, they're lonely. When they're afraid, they live in fear - so unaware of what they could be living in.
I'm passionate and ranting - but this world needs Jesus and i'm determined to be apart of helping them find him!
