Cause You Had a Bad Day...

You know what song I am talking about right? Yeah, that was mostly my yesterday. I woke up so stressed, I could barely stand it. With too much school to work ahead on for this weekend, a positive PPD test on my arm, a test that I needed to get out of for Friday, lots of stuff to read, a test that I had to get a 100% on (I got a 72%, yeah, don't ask!), assignments to do online, etc... By the end of the day, I was working on a headache and my stomach was in knots (what it usually feels like when I get my stress induced stomach ulcers).
Sometimes I wonder what gets me through days like that? Of course I know what it is... but how often do I pay little to no attention to the only One getting me through my days.
Sucks to be me with this awful propensity to write any and everything, but the moment one of my assignments is to write something... my stupid brain freezes. And what was I thinking? I mean, it was a math test, and I opted to not use a calculator... hence my awful scores... well that and the fact that my brain just plain shut down, (cause normally I actually I can do longhand math)! I do get to retake my test however; I think I'll use a calculator this time! My PPD test proved to not be positive. (and by the way, for those of you who have absolutely no idea what a PPD is... it is a TB skin test that tests for exposure to tuberculosis. Which it is very possible that I was exposed to this summer while working at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda. They have an entire ward of TB patients.) I still have to get a chest x-ray on Monday to prove that I really don't have TB. *cough, cough* just kidding! But they have cleared me for the most part, and *awe* work pays for the chest x-ray, so no need to freak out about moneys for this! My teacher was really nice when I told her I was not going to be in class on Friday, and I actually got to come in this morning and take my test early! (One down!) My online assignment is turned in, and I have about 10 hours on the road this weekend to study and read all that stuff for my class! Yay! And last night at lifegroup my amazing sisters in Christ prayed over me and my stomach pains. This morning I woke up with a big fat... nothing. God completely took the pain.
My God is amazing. Just like to throw that out there. This morning is a new day, and a lot of the stress is completely gone. He's just too good to me!

Well, I have to run back to class now, take a orientation class, that I have taken multiple times for the last 6 semesters! Should be riveting!! (can you just feel my excitement?)
