Psalms 139:16

Netter's tells me where everything is, when a patient's abdomen is open on an OR table, organs in the hands of a surgeon. Surgical Recall tells me the answers to the most likely asked "pimp" questions by cool (and surprisingly sweet) surgeons to oblivious medical students, like myself. But its the Bible that declare to me who the master designer is, the craftsmen, creator of these intricate organ systems is. Its the Bible that tells me when the hands of the these awesome surgeons fail and reach the limitations of man, (because it will) that the Hand of the Almighty is holding on to us, still. In the worst of diseases, worst of conditions (physical, spiritual, mental), God knows the course of our life. Nothing is beyond the power of those HANDS. Nothing is beyond God... Psalms 139: 13-16  "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know t...

Day by day, I'm discovering the cure to sin, to temptation, to every pitfall, downfall, every stronghold. The cure, Jesus. I'm realizing that that the more I read the Bible, the more I'm reading and hearing the actual voice of God. And the more I hear the word of God, the less I want to hear about the world. I'm realizing that the more I get into the presence of God, as I worship God, the more I want to Know God and less I want to know what going on with him or her. I'm finally realizing that the more I listen to the Holy Spirit, God's Spirit, the more I am listening to God and less I'm listening to me.. to what I want. And everyday, I make blunders. some small.  many large. Most stupid.  Sin that comes in all different kinds of shapes and sizes.  Honestly I'm not even close to who God called me to be. That is a blimp, a point, off in a far distant place from where I stand. But this is what I'm thinking, everyday, if I can step a little close...

In Proverbs (the book of wisdom), page after page, King Solomon writes the importance of listening and hearing the words of the wise. He writes that we become wise when our ears are open to those who once walked where we now tread. Proverbs 2:1-2 "My son (daughter) if you receive my words and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding.. then you will understand.." I recently had a patient that I wish everyone had the opportunity to meet! (I'm going to be super vague because I don't want to break any HIPPA violations..=) ) My sweet patient is nearly a century old and still going strong!! One random day, as I was examining her, I asked her if she had any stories to share from the almost 100 years that she's lived on this green earth. Any advice to give to an amateur at life, as I. And she looked at me with glistening eyes that held a century worth of observations, and told me that the sweetest thin...

We says things like ' I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' and 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart'. Then we live and plan like we don't believe God even exists. We try to set our lives up so everything will be fine even if God doesn't come through. But true faith means holding nothing back . It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His promises . -- Francis Chan, Crazy Love  God, give me a faith that runs deep. That isn't shallow. That doesn't fall when the waves and winds crash against my life..Give me a strong faith, that is rooted deep. A faith that dares to believe in You, even against the odds... Amen

.. In the midst of studying... where the days seem both stretched out and stretched thin , too long and too short, I remember that I am MONTHS away from graduation. 24 months exactly. Yes, that's 2 years. But 24 MONTHS seems..not AS long. =)

"Propofol used for rapid anesthesia induction...is not recommended for home use by pop stars" (my USMLE Step 1 First Aid Book) -- its the simple things in life that make me smile.=P

The only thing that I got to say, the only thing that I've kept on saying to myself today is this- Baby, RUN! (yea.. I talk to myself....)   " Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us , fixing our eyes on Jesus , the pioneer and perfecter of faith." (Heb 12:1-2)  " Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize . Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.  No , I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave " (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) Run baby, RUN! It's going to be hard. The mo...
