So close!
Man, I haven't updated this thing in forever! SO much has happened, so much. I'll shall write about them exciting stuff...in the next few days :]
Anyways, I just wanted to take this short time to write about where I am and how I'm feeling right now. You see, I have a final today...my last final for grad school, and it's pretty crazy. My fellow classmates and I are freaking out about it because 2 weeks ago, when the professor told us what would be on it, it just seemed like the final would be very intensive. Essentially, this final is supposed to be an essay-type format where we write out the different theories, concepts, assessment techniques, and interventions which are utilized for the context of family. When our professor was explaining it, she had told us that we are basically "integrating and synthesizing everything we've ever learned" in the master's program...AND we have to include evidence to back up our knowledge, which includes things from discussions in class, powerpoint presentations, books, and evidence-based articles. We have to cite our findings without bringing anything to class. Pretty crazy stuff, right? Hence, the freaking out mode. Blah.
Last Sunday, I met up with 2 classmates and we started preparing for the final and studied as much as we could, but you could tell how worried we were. It was as if we were on a high anxiety overload panic-attack, causing us to feel sick to our stomachs at the thought of this exam. I think what was causing us to feel this way was not just the final, but what grade we received on our last paper. We're supposed to get our papers today and everyone feels that the last paper was the worst paper they had ever written. I'm on the same boat, too.
So yea...anxieties on top of anxieties.
However, I am so thankful and grateful for the wonderful people God has placed in my life to support me, emotionally and spiritually. No matter how frazzled I get, these people remind me of God's faithfulness, His sovereignty, and His amazing all-sufficient grace. I'm reminded that my God is bigger than any circumstances I face in this life. I'm reminded of where I was and where I am today, and all I can say that I had not deserved to be here, experiencing so much of God's bountiful blessings...leik forrealz. I'm already almost done with finishing grad school, and God has seen me through each of the semesters I've had to endure. Each time, there was always something that made me doubt I would pass and then by the time I get to the next semester, I think to myself, "What was I so worried about?". I feel like this is just another one of those God moments. I trust that God knows all things, He sees all things, and that He truly cares about me. So there really shouldn't be anything to worry about because God has gotten a hold of me :]
