Thanksgiving Poem :)

With a touch of winter in the fading fall,
And the celebration of thanksgiving day,
Thanks for lifting me up when I fall,
Even in times of stormy seas, you keep me at bay

As the leaves change from green to a golden hue,
the air getting from warm to cold,
thanks for finally telling me “I love you”
Even with the world changing, you’re always staying gold

Roasting marshmallows on an open fire,
N’Sipping hot cocoa with you is all I desire,
Wishing I can woo you with a lyre,
Wow, my love for you will never tire!

Ahh smell of pumpkin spice and Christmas pine,
Makes me feel festive, especially with you a near
Thanks for everything, especially being mine,
Even here in Loma Linda, you fill my life with abundant cheer!

night before 2nd set of tests, 2nd day

ahhh, it's 1:25 AM..and we just took our first test today of our second set of tests in medical school. I don't believe I did too well on the tests, and I'm constantly feeling overwhelmed right now. I feel as if I am goign to fail, and here I am the night before our second set of tests. I'm sitting here and asking God for wisdom, faith, and to help me be calm.

This is definitely becoming one of the most challenging times for me, and I'm searching for a deeper dependence on God. I've heard many times after going through medical school will make you a different person. Too many times I've seen naive, hopefuly people become cynics that lack passion for their job. I'm determined to come out of this as a stronger person, and to actually depend on God more.

Before finishing this up, i'm reminded of the verse Philipians 1:6 "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Chist Jesus." I will try to take this as a promise from God that even though i feel lost right now, that I have to remember that God didn't bring me all the way to medical school to let me fail. He not only brought me here, but He is faithful to complete it! However..I must do part. We must do our part
