Any day in which God shows you signs that dropping a class is ok, to me, is an excellent day.

To explain that, I mean that my german class has been killing me slowly. I can't keep up with the class, and the books are too expensive for me to buy. I have been constantly worried about it, and I didn't see a conceivable answer to the problem.

Today, I talked to the admissions counselor of the college I'm will be transferring to next semester, about foreign language credits. According to him, there are no language requirements for the major I will be participating in. I also found out that due to some high school AP credits, my credits will exceed what I need to get my scholarship back at the end of the semester, excluding the german course. Given all of that, I was able to drop the course without it affecting my GPA or my college at all, really. It also enables me to get a bit more rest for three days per week, and get more work for other classes done.

I love how God will make things amazingly clear sometimes.

I also worked today, and with a co-worker that I have noticed a change with, in our relationship as co-workers. For some reason, our personalities clash some times, or have clashed in the past. I think it has to do with my inability to take directions from peers, I'm not sure. But I prayed some about it, and I have noticed that our relationship is growing much more friendly, and we are getting along better and better, and that makes me really happy, that God is changing my heart so that I can get along with them better.

I have been dealing alot with doubt in my ability to listen to God, and whether I'm taking His directions correctly. I don't doubt that He's putting the instructions out there, I just doubt that I may be interpreting them correctly sometimes. It deals in particular with some very big events in my life, but I think what I've noticed with God is that with the really big stuff, He makes things abundantly clear to us. So I have to say my doubt is always outweighed by my faith in Him, to steer me in the right direction.

Is there any chance that those truly searching and seeking God's face can not do His work? Is there any possibility at all, that those living in Christ can not live up to God's plan for them?
