Oh, happily ever after.

Wow, we made it through another semester.

Not just any semester though.

The semester of death. Has. Been. Conquered.

Anatomy and lab, Molecular Biology and lab, Technical Writing with Chemistry, and Biochemistry.

Two research papers written. 12 pager and 21 pager.

16 tests taken.

Soooooooo much knowledge.

I have learned so much about the human body, what you can see with the naked eye, on the macro-molecular level, and on the chemical level.

The more I learn, the more I realize how small and insignificant I really am.

Who am I to think that the world revolves around me?

Let's be honest, the world revolves around ATP synthesis.

Just kidding, kind of, but in all honesty here.

Dieter F. Utchdorf said it best...

"And while we may look at the vast expanse of the universe and say, 'what is man in comparison to the glory of creation?' God Himself said we are the reason He created the universe! His work and glory - the purpose of this magnificent universe - is to save and exalt mankind. In other words, the vast expanse of eternity, the glories and mysteries of infinite space and time are all built for the benefit of ordinary mortals like you and me. Our Heavenly Father created the universe that we might reach our potential as His sons and daughters.

This is the paradox of man: compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God. While against the backdrop of infinite creation we may appear to be nothing, we have a spark of eternal fire burning within our breast. We have the incomprehensible promise of exaltation - worlds without end - within our grasp. And it is God's great desire to help us reach it."

God made it all for us. And He still is willing to give us so much more. How amazing is that?

This semester I definitely felt small, but I also felt loved. And important. And special. I came to know even stronger that Heavenly Father knows me personally. And He cares about me so much, about the worries and every day concerns of my life as well as the big decisions He knows I can't make alone.

President Utchdorf said it best again:

"Brothers and sisters, the most powerful Being in the universe is the Father of your spirit. He knows you. He loves you with a perfect love.

God sees you not only as a mortal being on a small planet who lives for a brief season - He sees you as His child. He sees you as the being you are capable and designed to become. He wants you to know that you matter to Him."

He love me. He loves you. We matter to Him. What else matters?
