In my 3rd year and about to enter the last semester of the year! My MLS journey

 Oh my goodness, what a ride it has been. 

If I'm to be honest, my 3rd year thus far wasn't actually that bad. The first semester was long, cause of the election in Nigeria at that period, but I enjoyed every step of the way. 

This semester really showed me the beauty of medical laboratory science and oh, how I desire to be a certified Scientist. It's so crazy that the Lord brought me into a course that I basically had no idea of nor did I desire to be in, and now I'm in love with it.

I remember when I was pursuing medicine and surgery with all my mind and with all my heart and with all my strength. I forgot that, no matter how far I go in my will, His will always prevails. 

I saw that He wanted me to go through all those wrong path in order for me to realize that His perfect will in my life will always prevail.

Like I said, first semester of third year was long, very long, about 7 months, which was abnormal. The semester lecture consist of basic knowledge we needed in other to be fully grounded before furthering in to the course.

All in all it was awesome. But, the activities was just not giving. As exam season kept drawing near that was when the lecturers remembered that we existed! 

That period wasn't funny for most of us but at least we survived!

Now as I write this I'm in the airport heading back to school for the second semester wahala.

Another journey 🌸

.....

One thing I have come to embrace with my whole heart is the gift of company. Having the best people around you is the one thing that will sustain you in the university, especially Nigeria Universities. During the times when activities, both the lab posting and lectures, got tight I was so drowned out. I remember saying to myself with tears in my eyes "I'm tired of school! What is even the use... God I hate this feeling..I'm so tired,pleaseee"

I tried to let go of this feeling until I came across the exam time table. I felt so tight inside that I couldn't understand what was happening in me. There was no breathing space in the time table. My bestfriend saw how tensed I was even when I tried to play it cool.

I remember that week so vividly, like as if it was yesterday. The tears were heavy, I have never felt that way for an exam before. But in the midst of it, my bestfriend was always there to tell me "MB, you'll be fine, you've got this. God's always watching over you and He sees your effort. He knows your weaknesses and that's where His made known"... my family, my society in church and school's fellowship. Like as if they could read the trauma in my head. They were there to make me remember my WHY for school  and my TRUST in God.

I tell you, never feel or have the thought that you are going to make it alone. There will be times where you can no longer rely on your thoughts. Seasons will come when you no longer have that Spirit of enthusiasm to go further. Mental breakdown will set in.

Find people,create your circle and ask God to help you in that aspect because people will be people until you ask God for help you won't be able to see them as who they are before you call them into your circle. Stay woke.

Thanks for reading and remember Jesus needed 12 disciples (companions) for his mission on earth to be fully accomplished. So you can't do it alone.
