Approaching Halftime

Well, I am getting very close to being half done with college. Although every semester is crazy towards the end, this one is particularly crazy. I am currently struggling to stay on top of things, as I am behind in 2 of my 4 labs, and lab finals are next week, so everything has to be done.

Last week my group finally finished our engine overhaul and ran our engine; it ran very well, so that was a huge praise! But it took us a lot longer to get to that point than it was supposed to, so now we are frantically trying to get caught up on all of the other projects from this lab. Please be praying that we succeed in this.

Tuesday I have a lab final, and I need to finish up the projects for this lab before I can take that final. Thankfully, this looks very do-able, but it will still take a lot of work.

Please be praying for me that I be able to get all of my work done; between now and next Friday I have two sectional exams, four lab finals, a group project due, paper and presentation, and catch-up work in those two labs. Prayers are very much appreciated.

Also, I am still waiting for my Visa to go through. Please continue to pray about this.

Another reminder that God is in control

After I posted that I had received full funding for my trip, I found out about some additional costs that I had not anticipated - the last part of my flight. I figured that they would be taken care of when the time came, and did my best not to worry about it. Well, this morning I checked my mail after I got out of my classes, and found a check in my mail box. This covered just over what is necessary for one way of that leg of my flight. God is so good! While I am struggling to trust Him about the Visa, He decided to send me this reminder that He knows what needs to be done and He is in control.

Although admittedly, the context is very different, I am reminded of the words from the second part of Mark 9:24: "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" This is my prayer.

Prayers needed

Just a quick update - I am still waiting for my Visa to go through. Despite having seen God come through for me with every other detail of this trip so far, I'm still finding it hard at times to trust that this will be another thing that He takes care of. So please be praying that my Visa come through, but also that I learn the lesson of faith that God is trying to teach to me.
