| Happy 4th |
Sometimes I feel like I have to have something important to write about, in order to write here. Today I have nothing interesting to say, but I am writing anyway. It's the fourth of July, and there are fireworks going off outside. I am sitting here, on the edge of my sister's couch (because I like to sit on the arms of chairs, for some reason...), doing nothing. I have never really been a big fan of fireworks. I'm not sure why. But somehow, tonight, I wish I were watching them.
The last time I was around fireworks was in China. We shot them into the Yangtze River, because it was the Chinese New Year. And they certainly aren't illegal over there! I was a little afraid of them at first, but by the end I was throwing them and shooting them off. It really was fun, although the smoke left a bit to be desired.
Since I haven't written in a while, maybe I should update all my devoted fans (hah). I have now been working at my new job for about two weeks. And the truth is, I love it. Granted, I still only have a few patients to take care of. And they're relatively easy cases, for the most part. But I like the people I work with. I like the patients. I'm learning my way around, how to do things, what is expected of me. Most of all, I am so incredibly excited to learn more about medicine. I listen to my colleagues talk about their patients, and discussing treatment plans, and I think ... in a year or so, I will be smart like them! I know that it takes time to learn, and there will always be more that I don't know, but I am so excited to grow. I can't wait. I wish I could fast-forward a year and see what I will be like then.
A year ago, I was about to come home from Zambia. It's amazing that something so fleeting in the grand scheme of my life could impact my heart so much. Just today, as some pictures flashed on my computer screensaver, I remembered the feeling I had while I was there. A feeling that I belonged there. That God had brought me there for a reason, and my time there was not over. I know that what I'm doing here with work and church is important, and I'm excited about it. But I truly am excited to see what other things God has for me in the future. :) |

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
