Whew, so today was second day of school of my winter semester here at BYU-Provo! Today I went to my intro to bioorganic chemistry and anatomy classes; both of which I’m nervous for this semester. I was actually kind of freaking out about my anatomy class, but in class today I became excited. I almost teared up because as my professor said the opening prayer, he talked about our opportunity to learn about the human body and better understanding the Atonement of the Savior. Then he began talking about the class and the topics we would be discussing and my heart started pounding really hard and I felt the Spirit and just knew that this is what I love and this is what I want to study. I want to be nurse and to help people and to really understand our bodies, which are gifts from our Heavenly Father. I just think that if I stop panicking about memorization and grades and rather just focus on internalizing the material and look at it as learning something new that I’m interested in, my life will be a lot easier.
Tamsyn and I attended the temple together, and it was crazy, there was literally no wait! I love being in the temple and feeling so close to my Father in Heaven especially as I face feelings of inadequacy this semester. I’ve just been worried about getting the A’s I need to get into the nursing program and some of the difficult classes that I’m taking. I just really appreciate time in the temple when these feelings of doubt are replaced by feelings of faith and confidence. It was definitely the pick me up I needed.
President and Sister Samuelson’s devotional today inspired me and helped me to think about my life more in depth. They shared experiences from their life, mostly including pregnancies and their early, married life. Their main message was looking for the Lord’s hand in our every day lives. It has been my goal this year to be better about journaling, favorably every day, in order to better help me reflect on my blessings and the Lord’s hand in my life.
