This semester has been hard. Like really really hard. It has taught me that success should be based upon improvement and trying your hardest, not getting A's and B's on every test. It has taught me how to study and to work harder than ever. It has taught me that the cure-all for a bad day is coming home to roommates who love you and make you laugh and a bowl of ice cream.
The past few weeks, I have entered the library in the daylight and left in the darkness. And I will continue to do so for the next few days, because finals start in FOUR DAYS. I have been doing all I can, and I have faith that Heavenly Father will help me get to where I need to be.
I believe that God blesses us to have success, but only after we have put in as much effort as we can. Our God is a merciful God, but expects us to do our part. This includes putting in time and effort and asking for help. All we need to do is ask with real intent, and it will be given unto us (Matthew 7:7-8). He is omnipotent and already knows the desires of our heart, but He wants to hear it from us. He loves us all so much and wants to hear from us. Prayer is a powerful thing. Not only does it provide comfort and blessings, but it helps form a solid relationship with our Father in Heaven.
As for now, I'll spend the next few evenings in the library and then take finals. But soon, I will be HOME :)
