I'm so unprepared for my immunology midterm :( :( so much material, it's starting to feel like o-chem all over again, except w/ experiments. i guess ready or not, it's coming....just be disciplined and ask for God' grace.

a hard hw set was due today in my bioe class (hw is actually worth 40% in the class). i finished it last evening, after repeatly staring at the equeations and continuously flipping through the reader to see if it'll give me any clues, and bugging esther w/ questions. :P and i'm still not sure of all the problems, but i feel like i learned the most that i could taking into account the circumstances. before and in class, i watched other ppl near and far from me look and share/copy answer (it wasn't due til the end of class)...i could remember a time when that was something that would make realli angry and bitter in my heart (here i am slaving for hrs while for those ppl it onli takes 10 minutes)....but not anymore. God's sanctifying power has transformed my thinking, at least in that area. i realized that it doesn't bother me, not for the worldly reasons some would give (e.g. oh well, they'll fail the midterm b/c they didn't learn it and you did). the reasons y i don't copy other's answers is that ultimately it is out of pleasing the Lord that i do the hw, and that i should not measure my work in terms of standards of this world. i onli felt sad for those ppl that didn't look at doing work in this way, because ultimately they don't receive that full satisfaction that can onli be in Him. The deeds that we do are ultimately judged by Him and no other.

"As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with the precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ."
--1 Peter 1:14-19

Praise God for His Word!~ :)
