OOOO WWEEE!!!! I have not blogged in a minute and I thought I would be on it everyday. But, we all have our stumbling days....they are only temporary because I always end up picking myself back up. So I will learn to be more consistent with blogging...I PROMISE LOL!!! So I know it has been a while, but I have new information and new spark in my life that is so worth sharing with you all...
So two blogs ago, I wrote about how receiving an interview from SIU MEDPREP would be the best birthday present ever. Well I had been waiting and waiting and then I received an email on my way to tutor my client. WEEELLLLL, I GOT IT!!!! The SIU School of Medicine's MEDPREP Admissions Committee want to meet ME!!! How awesome is that, right? I received the news two days ago about the interview and I am just so excited right now. I have good chills going through my body and ever since finding out, I have been on Cloud 9. I read the email and right away, I sent in my notice form to them about my attendance for the Admissions Day on November 8th and I already booked my hotel room. When I say I want this bad, I mean I want this so unbelievably bad!!! This is the next step to my future and I am just chasing the opportunity as it comes my way. I am so thankful for this interview because now it is for real crunch time...I WILL NOT LET THIS ORGANIC CHEMISTRY KICK MY BUTT!!!!
So the next steps to prepare for this interview are simple: 1. I need a nice clean suit and 2. I need to prepare myself for the interview questions and the tests. I will be taking chemistry, biology, cognitive thinking, reading, and essay tests. SO MUCH, but I will be ready at 7:30am...I believe in the power of prayer and that if I meet God halfway, then he will meet me the other half. I CAN DO THIS!!!
More NEWSSSSS!!!
Yesterday was WILD and my buds came into town!!! Elyse, you gave me some encouraging words of advice and I really appreciate you being an understanding friend. Because of our interests in medicine, we were able to relate in such an amazing way. She is working hard to gain admission into medical school right now and I am doing the same thing. BIG UPS to you Elyse! DEDE, you stay pushing it, girl!!! I love that you are gaining the experience in Texas, but most importantly, you are enjoying it to the fullest!!! You are taking advantage of the opportunity and there isn't anything wrong with it!!! Sarah, you, world traveler!!! You have been so many places these past months...I love that you are still keeping the ambition and the hope!!! I know you staying focused and living life right now so have fun and never let 'em see ya sweat!!!
So on to the real news: For the longest I wanted to find a church home in St. Louis and I finally did TODAY! All yesterday while hanging with my friends, I could not help but see my mother standing in front telling me, "DON'T LET YOUR SATURDAY NIGHTS CHOKE OUT YOUR SUNDAY MORNINGS!" And with all of the laughs with my friends yesterday, I stayed in and stuck with my promise to GOD that I was going to be better about loving HIM and giving HIM honor and praise for blessing after blessing. I mean praising HIM for blessings that I did not even deserve, but in everything that I did, GOD never left my side. When I felt disconnected for the longest from him, he woke me up in the mornings and gave me the activity of my limbs. HE was still there for me and I love HIM for that!!! So, ever since I went home and heard the guest pastor from a church in Detroit preach, I knew that the obstacles I was going through at the time were tests and were periods of darkness. Life was hard at that point and it is still is, but I found my favor again in GOD and since then, my days have been more alive and more accomplished. I know that the periods of darkness are not over because there will be more, but I know that in the midnight hour, GOD will teach me and come through for me. So I am keeping my faith and just typing that feels so good!
I went to church today and the spirit moved through me. I packed up my things and asked the people sitting next to me to let me through because I didn't want the enemy to block the blessings that were coming my way. I joined FTMBC today under watch care, which is what my Pastor back at home told me to do. He would be proud of me for choosing a church home in St. Louis that I feel gives me the teachings I need to hear. I am so happy to be part of the ministry and it has been a long time coming and I am ready for God to use me in so many ways.
So to close this blog, I just want to express how grateful I am for today, the past, and the future to come because I know that GOD is not going to direct me in a path that is not for me. I am his sheep and my Shepard knows me better than anyone else will ever know me and that's a GREAT FEELING!!!
Cheers....good night...
