Lately my life seems to have been dominated by a 3-unit course in biostatistics - my lunch is practically squeezed in between assignments, my study materials share my bed on a nightly basis, and I dream (or should I say have nightmares) of biostatistical formulas in my sleep. Really, everything seemed to have taken a back seat to this course - including the project that have been financing my education and supporting my survival here in the US. And yes, disappointingly, even finding my time for God. Sadly, it is a fact that there are a gazillion bigger things than just this biostat.
And so today I thought I should claim the best of both my profound and required worlds by simply rediscovering that perspective I had way back in college when my lecture notes were filled with scribbled por vous not even knowing what it was (or how to correctly spell it!). Almost 20 years later, I am made even more convinced that it is the best (and happiest) way to go - to take to heart whatever I do, as a form of my life's prayer and praise. To see everything coming along my way as an opportunity to be drawn closer to a state of further grace.
I know that life - mine included - can be a rush littered with purposeless distractions. But from today, the little (student) me will see things differently. I will move through the flow for a higher purpose; I shall work and push and labor harder through my everyday, as whatever comes my way, distractions included, is part of my life's call. I will fight the good fight and I will run the race, zealous, happy and in peace. Because I know that over and above what meets the eye, will be a purpose served, and my faith to its fullest, lived.
I know in my heart, it will be then and only then, will everything make sense.
Pour Vous!
