College Chemistry = B+

Well, I found out that I did indeed get a B+ in the college chemistry class. I was quite desparate for the grade, I worked pretty hard for it. I tried to understand the material. But I think it all came down to Heavenly Father helping me, once again. I prayed before the course and asked him to help me just enough to get the B+, and He came through for me. He always does, even when I don't deserve it. It amazes me and makes me think that I am meant to move on in my education.

Even in High School, I remember asking for help with studying. I knew that I needed a certain score on the ACT to make it into the Nursing Program, and I worried and worried about it. I have never been strong in Math, and I was concerned about my grades and ACT score.

The night before the ACT test, I remember having a dream. It was a scary dream, I was in a hotel lobby and I was with a man that was hurting me. I cried out, asking for help. Then, a little blue eyed girl came up to me and took my hand and told the man to stop. He got angry and walked away. The little girl took my hand and took care of me. Then, all went dark, and I heard a voice, a man's voice say, "Ask and ye shall receive, Knock and it shall be opened to you."

It struck me then that Heavenly Father would be there for me when I asked for help. That He would help me to achieve those things that would help me in my life achieve the things that are good for me. Over and over, He has answered my prayers, always for the best.

I am now looking forward to the new class (hurdle) to jump. Pathophysiology. I think that I should do alright. My Goodness, I have Been a nurse for 17 years, should understand the nature of disease by now, don't you think? I think I will pray this time, too.

So, I have a week between these 2 quarters. I think I will start ripping apart Megan's room. Our sweet puppy, Murphy, loved the closet to potty train when he was a puppy. I can't stand the thought of having a stinky closet anymore, so I am about ready to rip the carpet out. I am so excited to start.
