MCAT mountain and things to ponder

Most times it is hard to see what God is doing, and actually, many times you do not ever see his plan.  Sometimes, after a season in your life you can look back and see the hand of God at work.  I feel right smack in the middle in the timeline of a lesson or season.  I can look back and see that God led me here to this point but I have NO clue of what he's doing with me here.  One of Steven's and my great friends posted this quote on facebook today: "What matters is that you keep your hand on the plow, you don't need to know what God will do through your work." It was a quote by John Piper based on Ecclesiastes 8:17.  I guess we just keep trudging.  Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to be doing what I am doing; however, this season I am in right now requires day-in-day-out perseverance and faith that this is what God has led me to do.  Another quote I read today stated, "The true way to handle a matter wisely is to trust in the Lord"--by Charles Spurgeon.   I want to trust him in each step and act in wisdom, for he is the one that establishes our steps (Proverbs 16:9).
If I make it out of the MCAT with a proper score, it, seriously, will be a miracle.

Okay, new thoughts for today:
Did all the animals in the garden of Eden have the ability to speak prior to the sin of Adam and Eve?  If Oklahoma ever got another professional sports team, possibly NFL, wouldn't it be cool to call them something weather related... like lightning, etc.?  Then we would have Thunder and Lightning!
