This morning it rained yet again! Now there's another few new leaks in my ceiling. When oh when will they fix it? A few months ago, when there was a storm, my whole roof was literally blown off... and now at this new place, again I'm having roofing problems. I wanted to go for the first service today, but stayed home instead and observed my leakage. The sky cleared up awhile later, and I made it for the second service. Ironically, Rev Phil Pringle said faith is that even if there's a storm, you will still go to church, even if your house floods over, you will still make it to church. And I was worried about a little leak. Shucks...
The last week has been difficult. I didn't get a scholarship to go to a conference in Utah, Salt Lake City. Was quite dissapointed especially since my supervisor said I have to decide if I want to go to this conference.... if I go for this one, I can't go for any other conferences anymore throughout my PhD. I felt that it was really unfair. She told me I could go to a zebrafish conference and another conference of my choice every year! And now, she changed her mind?!? But that's my personal scientific budget! I didn't even spend much... all the conferences I've been to, I've received travel grants. I made an effort to always apply for scholarships so that I could go to any conference I want to! The other PhD student didn't even apply for any scholarships,and she's always been to 2 or more conferences a year! Sighz.... sometimes I think it's so unfair. I put in so much hard work..... but yet..... experiments don't work out, scholarship applications get rejected.... arrrggghhh!
But no matter what, I'm going to praise God! I can overcome all things.No matter how exhausted I feel, God will be my strength! I'm not going to sleep 12 hours/ day anymore! God will heal me from my lethargy. My experiments will work out. God will reveal new inspirations and idea for my experiments. God will bless my relationships with my friends. I praise God for the sun that always shine so brightly after a storm. And I can see my sun peeking out now through the clouds..... in all things, praise God!

The sun always does come out and after a storm it brings a rainbow...the promise of God.
