The other day I watched the "last lecture" - given by a professor named Randy Pausch. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, knew it was terminal, and before get got visibly ill, he gave a "final lecture" at school. It was bright and cheery and thoughtful and even funny. but also insightful .

you can find it at Randy Pausch

In the lecture, he related a series of "life lessons" he learned. One of the things he said was

Brick walls are there for a reason - they let you see how badly you want something.

And another was (I don't have the words exactly right on this one):

When someone you know is behaving badly or you just think they are evil, you probably just need to give them more time.

Sometimes time works miracles.

Anyway I found the lecture interesting.

I'm glad you've been learning and growing. Good for you in seeking God's will. Yes, you're right: good things are in store.
