"We are the clay and You our potter" Isa 64:8

This morning I got on our school bus to head out to our last village for the week. To my surprise, we actually had a full bus. You see, yesterday we were told that any students interested in surgery could take today and go see the Hospital here, watch a surgery or two, and possibly help in the ER, then they would have more time back at our 'base' to get on the internet and study! The only catch was they would have to forgo our last day setting up a clinic in the village. At the time this announcement was made, about half of my classmates raised their hands saying they would want to go. Yet, this morning none left for the hospital. On talking to one person he said they all decided they would rather be helping in the village, and they couldn't give that up. . . I think they just might be getting it! Thursday morning I had the opportunity to lead our devotion. What was so cool, was that we had more people show up that morning than any other morning. Mostly because the physi...

When we arrived safely into the city and I stepped off the plane, it took all of one breath to realize something major. I knew the smell, I knew the thickness of the air, the white and yellow stripped curbs along the road. 5 times I have been to Africa in 6 different countries. I always thought it was just Africa. I had even been to Mexico, but maybe I didn't realize it then. These developing nations, they are all basically the same. I couldn't help the smile that creeped across my face as I took it a breath full of dirt that had been kicked up off the road. The rooster that aided in my waking up this morning again brought a smile to face instead of a wish to shoot it. In just about all my senses, I feel, well, kind like I'm home. There's just something about it, I can't explain. The slower pace, the simple life, being grateful for a hot shower: . . . Ahhhhhh I feel like myself again! As we drove about an hour to the top of a nearby mountain to set up a clinic in...

This is one of those places it never really occurred to me that I would be in. A few weeks ago, I had my last lecture over new material to study EVER! Granted I still have boards to take in June and thus I have some review lectures, but all my exams from here on out are kind of a big deal and their number is like small enough that I can count them on my hands! As I have fill blown began studying like crazy for this next exam in June, I feel like G is really finally helping me out of this drought I’ve been in. I had been so bogged down with school, and life in general. But every day over and over I would just hear Him say, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God” The more I dwelt on it, the more I realize how He has been giving me the key to all of this all along. I’ve realized how little my faith has been to not trust Him with everything and just run after Him. I wish it were as simple as just flipping a switch and saying okay now I will just seek Him first and not worry about the res...
