Back at University

It's been a good week in which I have been able to "ease" in and settle down. Moved in on Monday to Residence. I saw the specialist for a follow up on Tuesday. In his own words "Lloyd if you want answer about your abdominal pain I have none. Not even my diagnoses fitted the results." So I guess that will be a mystery after all.

In terms of reflecting back on the past nine months that has been rough on me physically, I'm glad and thankful that I landed between a rock and a hard place. God has really built me into stronger character. I said on my blog March 02 whilst reading Romans 5:3-5, "I have to rejoice for my physical suffering. I guess, I wasn't the complete character. For this very reason I will rejoice because in my distress, God will help me build character." At the time, I was confused, dejected and weak. Truth be told I wasn't the complete character then and God in his infinite mercy has built me into a stronger character over these nine months.

In my quiet time today reading my Bible I came across a verse, more or less emphasizes the same point. Quoting Philippians 2: 13, " for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!
