There is an old saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
This seems to be the theme for my life for the past several weeks. One new thing after another comes up. A change in research time-line. Unable to make an important date because of being out of town. Being sent to the middle of no-where Nebraska for potentially six months now. The list goes on......
And yet, we are called to make the most of the time we have hear on earth. Our days our numbered and only God knows that number. So, we make lemonade. Thankfully I have hope. Hope in a future and purpose. Trust that God will not allow anything to happen to me that I cannot handle with His help. So, no matter the hurt, pain, questioning, wondering, feeling lost, loneliness, or lack of direction, Jesus is holding my hand and walking alongside me. He is holding the lantern to shed light down the path of my life. It seems as if all I can see is the immediate step in front of me. But it is enough and He will NEVER let go of my hand! For this I am truly thankful and will praise His name-NO MATTER WHAT!

At last, at last!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am FINALLY writing another entry in my blog!
I realize this is past overdue. I due apologize, but this I can assure you: Once I am at the Ranch at GSL for my summer/fall research, I will be a constant blogger because of me being in social cyberia and only the internet for means of communication with the outside world. :)
It has been a hard, but good thing-to be here in Lincoln, Nebraska. It has been one of their coldest winters in many years. The snow is finally beginning to melt and is almost all gone. It is strange to see the ground and the dead grass on it. LOL. How crazy is that? When we think that the high 30's is a heat wave....you know you've acclimated to the midwest.
Second semester is already part way through. I am enrolled in Forage Evaluation and Biochemistry. I never thought that I would like/look forward to going to biochem class, but I do! Our teacher is AMAZING! She is practical, has applicable information, class interaction and group work. She is real, admits when she's wrong, and says her IQ drops 20 points as soon as she stands up in front of the class! Tee hee hee. That doesn't do too much damage because she is VERY intelligent. :) It is a challenging class none the less, but I do enjoy it. In forages class, I am finishing up a digestibility trial with sheep. It has been quite the learning experience.
I shall write again soon. It has been a challenging month, to say the least, but God remains faithful. He truly provides what I need, just when He deems right. There are definately little blessings every day that help me get through and continue to serve Him.
He is what gives me hope and strength to face the day.
