Stress + Disturbing Content... to... God Blesses Me

I was a bit overwhelmed today leaving school.  In both my Child Development and History class things have come up where I am becoming very lost.  I feel like I should know these things, but I am completely blanked out.  Now I have a number of writing assignments and a test coming up that I am quite lost on.    None the less, I will go forward.  

Also, in my Early Childhood Growth & Development class today, we hit the topic (theme of the class today) of "conception".  We didn't gracefully overview it and move on, but we settled there for most of the class.   We went into great details, graphics and content, that I felt were too much for me.   I am still trying to get some of the images out of my head.    I was concerned about our next class on Thursday, which the topic was "Child Birth".   The professor (a very good, likable, energetic, enthusiastic, and encouraging and understanding professor) reminded us to bring crackers if we think we might need it, as several kids in the past have passed out watching the video she's going to show.  The video is of a lady giving birth, and a video of an actual C-section in action.    I was quite grossed out and had heard/seen more than I wanted to be floating in my mind.    I was planning to just skip that class and take it as one of the 3 "unexcused" class days I get before being dropped by midterm.     However, God is so Good, I felt God suggest to me to send her (my professor) an email explaining my current position.  So I did.  I kindly emailed her and told her honestly what I thought of the day and the content that was shared.  I told her also that I am a strong Evangelical Christian and I take it very seriously when the Bible says to keep purity and a pure heart and mind.  I told her that with my concern for the content on Thursday, I am considering skipping class, and if I do would there be anything I could do instead.  

I was so blessed by her response.  Have I mentioned how understanding she is, she replies back with a huge 'THANK YOU for your thoughts and response'.  She said she understands my point of view and if I do not feel comfortable watching the videos on Thursday, it will not be counted against me if I skip the class.  She suggested that I read through her powerpoint instead.  

I am/was honoured by her reply and am very grateful for how God has blessed me.

God is so Good to me, He is just so Good!   Thank you God!
