so i recently began working on my senior design project. me and a team of 3 other people are designing a chemical plant. it is pretty cool and kinda fun, but even more stressful. we basically have no idea what we are doing and are hopelessly lost. even our teacher the other day informed us, in case we didn't know, that we "are totally lost." :(
this was not very encouraging, as you can imagine. but i have, yet again, been drawn to the Lord through this process. one, i am realizing that chemical engineering really is where i want and need to be. God has given me a passion for the subject. In fact as of 2 years ago I would have said that I hated all things regarding chemical engineering. Now, I actually am the only one on my team that is having fun with the project. Isn't it amazing to see how God will change your heart if you let him? Another reason that I can see why I need to be a chemical engineer is because God has set all believers to be lights in the world. and after seeing how stress can quickly break down polite relationships, there needs to be a light among the chemical engineers. if everyone went on to be a full time minister, who would reach those who don't go to church?
point is that even though this is a tough project and even i am stressed, God will use it for his glory. Some days I am able to encourage the people around me, other days are considered good if I don't yell at anyone. But through it all I come to God for more grace. More grace to show towards others. My dependency in Him is being strengthened and I am encouraged to see that when I go to the real world, there is no way for me to forget about God. I can't do it without him!
