One week ago today I sat with 6 other interviewee's nervously awaiting the chance to prove we could make it through medical school. From 8:30 until about 3 I tried to take in what it would be like to actually be a medical student in Blacksburg. The interviews went well and we were told that f we were accepted they would call us in one week. So today began, one week after my interview and I spent a good part of the morning in prayer. It was really cool to me how God brought so many verses to my mind for me to pray through. Verses like in Psalm 139 where it says "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in secrete, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them." or Jer 33:3 "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." And Jer 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future."
After my morning in prayer, I had much more to focus on. Today was also Andrew's signing ceremony at the high school. Almost our whole family was in town to celebrate him signing to run track for Georgetown university. Back at the house we were about to dig into the cake when I received a phone call from Virginia. My hands began to shake and my heart was pounding! I had been accepted to the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine! My mind began to race as the director of admissions began informing me of what I needed to do next.
Our house erupted as I shared the news. I don't think it has really sunk in yet, but I bet I have said or thought "oh my gosh . . . how in the world . . . God is amazing!" like a million times Never before has the greatness, grace, love and realness of God been so evident to me! Looks like I'm going to be moving to Blacksburg! But for all of you VOL fans out there don't worry, I'll be representing the big orange in Hokie country!
