Seven Down (sigh) . . . One to Go! . . . BOOYAH!

-

In filling out multiple applications, it has come to my attention that I have survived 21 science, 5 math, 5 chemistry, and 42 total classes, as well as 17 labs and way too many papers, presentations, and exams. Today, semester number 7 of my undergraduate career has come to a close, and not a moment too soon! With only 9 hours needed to graduate from the University of Tennessee, it’s hard to believe I’ve been here for almost 4 years. I never imagined I would be where I am today.

In looking back at how much I have been blessed this past semester, it is extremely hard to put into words all the great things God has done and continues to do! I so enjoyed working with the Lady Vol soccer team, and am thankful I can continue that work next semester. God is really at work there and has allowed me to see and be part of an amazing work of His.

I have officially been invited to complete step 2, filling out a secondary application, for both LMU and VCOM medical schools. Unfortunately though I haven’t had time to complete them yet due to finals and wrapping up the semester. I am still waiting to hear from UT Memphis, MeHarry School of medicine, ETSU and VT. These are all of the MD programs and they are a bit more swamped at the moment.

So, for now I will enjoy not being in school and knowing next semester holds an easy caseload. The little ‘academic work’ I will have over the break will be filling out secondary applications. Other than that I’m just waiting: waiting to hear from medical schools, waiting for next semester, waiting to graduate and start the next leg of the journey. And I am very content with that. I can be patient and peaceful in the waiting, knowing my future is set, and almighty God controls my destiny!

Strength for Today

[1Co 13:1-8 ESV] 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.   Outside our home the oak and maple trees are beginning to change from vibrant greens to yellows, reds and orange. I am tempted to begin dreading the hours of ra...

The Bridegroom

I stood by the window in the church office, ready with my white dress on, hair in soft curls and make up that made me look like a movie-star. Since I was a little girl, I had thought of this day. But, over the years I had truly started to wonder if it was in God’s plan for me. Quite frankly I had come to the conclusion many times that it was only a dream. Yet, there I stood, waiting to walk down the aisle to the man the Lord had been preparing for me. It was actually really happening!              Words cannot describe the joy and deep thankfulness I have been feeling in this season. I spent many nights in the past crying out to the Lord in my loneliness asking for a companion in life that would strive towards the Lord with me and make me more like Jesus. In many seasons the Lord enabled me to embrace my singleness and, in His kindness, has allowed me to know Him more through it. Let’s be real, it was not always rainbows and su...

Emmanuel (Thoughts for this Christmas Eve)

-
Emmanuel is the very last thing that God should be.  Hear me out. He is Almighty God, the one who breathed out the stars and calls them by name. He is the one who upholds the entire universe by the word of his power and in him all things consist. He is so Holy, so pure that God tells Moses that no man can look on God and live (Exodus 33:20). We see in Exodus that God demonstrated his power by enabling the Israelites to leave Egypt. He shows His power over all the Earth by commanding storms, insects, plagues and even death. For He is the very One who gives life. After God brings them out of Egypt, He gave them a covenant, a binding promise that required they worship Him alone for he is a holy God and his people should also be holy (Leviticus 11:45). Yet, what do the Israelites do? At their first opportunity they start worshiping another god that they made themselves. And how similar are we? How easily do we forget the God who has shown Himself powerful and mighty in our lives? How q...
