Med School Time crunch

Hey to anyone who every checks this!

I was reminded last night by the pastor of my new church that I have a blog! After some thought, I realized how much I missed writing my thoughts down on this thing.

Med school is almost done with the first semester....6 tests over a 10 day stretch...brutal!!

From time to time during the past 4 months I've struggled with my decision to go to medical school. For those who aren't aware I was a theology major for awhile at USF, thinking I would be a pastor at a church. At college, I discovered I also had a love for science and a gift at it as well. So, I went pre-med. I'm so very thankful for the opportunity I have to study medicine, but there is still a part of me that wishes I was in a seminary somewhere, studying the Word and how to bring it to others. My thoughts are that this medicine thing will open so many doors for me and that in the future I will be able to go to seminary and combine my medical knowledge with a spiritual education.

Life in Vermillion has been full of adjustments, some easier than others. I really have missed being a RA and being at USF, it was such a great place. However, I also have realized that doing great things for God always require some adjustment. Reading through the Bible I'm struck by how many times God puts people on a different path than the one they started out on. Noah was just a family man who ended up being one of the last people on Earth in a floating boat! Talk about an adjustment. In times of adjustment, it's ever more important to put our faith and trust in Jesus. God is good...all the time.

I hope to write more regularly. Time is short in medical school, but hopefully I can make some! Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
