3 years down

I admit, now, that a significant reason for deciding to apply for med school was... watching Scrubs. Which, in comparison to say House or Grey's Anatomy, is admittedly un-medical. But what actually drew me was the sacrifice and commitment the characters put in, despite all their flaws and failings. It made me want to be like that too.

3 years down the road, I wonder if my aspirations are truly that noble. If I really am the good person I made myself out to be during the interviews. God, help me to keep the light always in my sight.

Benedictus

As for you, little child,
you shall be called a prophet of God,
the Most High.
You shall go ahead of the Lord
to prepare his ways before him,

To make known to his people their salvation
through forgiveness of all their sins,
the loving-kindness of the heart of our God
who visits us like the dawn from on high.

plans

Breaking fast to have lunch with mx and Jenny was the right thing to do.

And listening to worship on the bus home really ministered to me after the failures of yesterday.

Sometimes our very plans are the things that impede us from receiving the graces of the Spirit.

Thanks God. Truly I have failed a thousand times, and yet your mercy remains.
