I'm done with the semester.

This has been the most challenging semester yet both academically and emotionally. I've grown leaps and bounds. I've learned in the classroom and out. I've found out who I am. For now. I'm confident in the woman God created me to be. I know that His plan is steady & sure. I know He carries me.

I have my insecurities, my unsure-ities, and my failures. I have my failed expectations, and my mistakes. But God loves me despite them. He heals them & makes up for them.

This semester, I took an immunology course (the study of the immune system). In it, I learned all about how the body fights against infection and pathogens. How these minute cells keep our bodies from being overtaken by invaders. How insanely awesome is just that fact alone?!?! God designed those CELLS. How much more did he design US?

My favorite are the helper T cells (CD4+ T cells) because they do just that: They "help" other cells do their jobs. They don't get the credit for killing the pathogen but without them, killing wouldn't occur. They're the behind the scenes key players. They don't want the glory or the fame; they just want to help.

I'm like a T helper cell. I just want to help, but in helping sometimes I have to

sacrifice myself.

Now that I'm done with school for a little while, I'm going to take myself back for a while. I need to be refilled by my Creator and Maker. I need to be reminded of His love for me, His plan for me, and His purpose.

To Him be the Glory.
