Research is going slow these days. Some days I make good progress, other days I just sit in the lab scratching my head. It's hard to believe how fast this spring break week went. I had a lot of big expectations for this week. No classes, no distractions, only a few people in the lab- I thought I make a lot of progress. Unfortunately that has not been the case. Yesterday I was a little frustrated at myself for not making progress. The more progress I make, the closer I get to graduating. That's why there's not really a set date for graduating, it's all dependent on how fast (or slow) you get research results that are suitable for publishing.

I usually just say that I'm graduating in 2 years anyways. Who knows.

Anyways, this morning God reminded me again that He is in control. These research questions that I'm working on, God already knows the answer. There was comfort this morning in knowing that a God who acts for our good, is also in control of the things in our lives. It would be another issue if God didn't know anything about my research or future in education and yet told me that everything would be okay. How could He make a statement like that then?

With all the craziness going on in life right now, God holds the future. I just need to be reminded of that on a daily (yes, DAILY) basis.
