Appreciating the journey
Where do I even begin.
First off. I finished my 3 week clinical at TEGH and back in class now. I absolutely loved the experience. I learned alot, saw alot, experienced alot, felt alot and met a bunch of really interesting and encouraging people. I met patients who poured their hearts out. I had to leave one of the rooms cuz I was going to cry. I know for sure that I didn't get into the wrong profession- I just hate the school part of it heh. IAnd I'm not sure if acute care is for me but I definitely saw how God could use my role as a physio for his kingdom.
During those 3 weeks, my mom made a comment about how happy I was compared to when I was in school. And it made me think... I shouldn't have to wait until I start working to 'be happy'... or to allow God to use me. I need to stop letting the stress of the program dictate what kind of person I am. I have a choice and I chose to glorify Him. Moreover I was reminded that I was not put into this program to cry and complain for the next two years. There's got to be more that He wants his people to do while we're in physio school.
So...after a few conversations...a really good book...and some prayer, I felt burdened to start up a prayer group at school...for Christians in the class to meet..to share..to pray and to encourage each other. SO THEN...I asked around and approached a few people and there IS interest!!! I'm really excited to meet up with everyone for the first time and I'm eager to see where He will take us =)

That's awesome, Mandars. Yes, every place and season to which God has called us is a place to realize His mercies and grace.
I look forward to hearing about the prayer group. Keep me posted.
Also, a great book I would recommend to battle contentment would be "The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment" by Jeremiah Burroughs.

Oops...I meant to say "to battle discontentment." :)
