I am Worried

I know that I’m not meant to be, but I am. Lately it is hard not to be consumed with the task that lays ahead of me.

6 months from now I could be taking an oath that will change the rest of my life. It is not a oath many take, but those who take it, take it seriously.

Who wouldn’t be worried about medical school, right? It’s kind of a big deal. It’s signing onto at least 7 more years of basically no salary. It’s dedicating to 48-hour shifts that will shake your relationships, your body, and your mind. It’s saying, “I care”, when no one truly seems to.

What a blessing. I know that there ARE benefits to being a physician. The salary isn’t bad, the position in society, the ability to heal someone. To not only see a miracle, but to BE a miracle.

It means a life-change. It means moving, potential house-buying, new driver license, cell phone, supermarket, and church group. It means nights spent half-awake in the library or on clinical shift instead of wide-eyed with friends at Dennys.

I have a lot to learn in this short amount of time. A lot of growing up to do. A lot of decisions to make. Will it be worth it? I think so. Actually I can’t think of why it wouldn’t be.

“On hearing this, Jesus said,”It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” -Jesus, Matthew 9:12-13

My Purpose on WordPress

This break has been good. God has been revealing a lot to me. One of the things He has shown me is my need to be purposefully and intentional with everything I do, including my time on here. I think it is great that people can get to know me through this, but I’m willing to take it beyond that.

I want to challenge and inform. God has blessed me with some wisdom and knowledge about various subjects. I want this blog to turn into a challenge for people, something they can wrestle with. This might be in the form of a question, verse from the Bible, or a controversal topic. I think that in the future I will start writing topics on information that has been/is challenging to me. Hopefully this will inform some who want to know but don’t have the time to ask, and will provide a place to ask questions.

I’m thinking some of these topics will be evolution/creation, stem cell research, abortion, infant baptism, guy/girl relationships, pornography addiction, homosexuality, pharmaceutical drugs and side effects, etc.

Please feel free to comment if you would like to know or discuss something I might know something about (obviously I don’t know everything).

Hope this is beneficial to many!
