I am so grateful and I'm greatly inspired by the fact, the professor and my brother stresses that more time for God grants us an astuteness of mind in making keen observations, analysing information and even more when it comes to mastering contents since we are used to putting God's living word into our hearts and souls with all strength, heart and mind that increases our focal power and ability to say exactly the words appear in the Bible also to state in our own words because we not only master but also understand the structure of the message in the scripture.

Wow this video was so powerful!🙌🏻 I’m currently on the road to pursuing a DVM, still in undergrad btw. I have been seriously considering being a physician. I love medicine, and I’ve been around horses for a big part of my life. This is a huge reason why I’m considering wanting to be a vet. I also have this deep desire of being a physician. I tell the Lord sometimes I feel so incapable of actually pursuing that career. I think deep down that’s the one thing holding me back from actually thinking about pursuing this career. I pray that I wouldn’t be lead by my emotions but that I would be lead by the Lords spirit.

When I was in the eleventh grade I decided to shift my studying time from more of the Bible and prayers to burning up to late in the night making academic studies. This was a lie that to drastic drop of grades until my biology teacher questioned me because I used to score well and always on top. I had no explanation but to just state it to my friend Lester that I achieve nothing on my own but worry and burden of academic excellence through the wrong format, conforming to the patterns of the world, I changed and wrote it in red ink that I sinned when I thought trusting myself my mind and ability that I shall perform better after all, I'm a Christian, that was a lost track of thinking.
