For the past 3 weeks I have been studying for the 2nd part of my boards which I take next Saturday in Birmingham. It has been rough. Times where I am way burned out and can't answer another question. Bloodshot eyes from staring at the computer screen for hours on end. Vitamin D deficiency from never seeing the light of day. Sporadic bouts of depression from my severe lack of human contact. Today my fortune cookie said "Give yourself some rest, you need it." How perfect! But one good thing about all this studying is I get constant reminders of how amazing God is. In so many ways. Have you ever thought how does a heart keep beating for 70+ years? It never takes a break. If it does, you're in big trouble. In a moment's time I'm thinking about what I want to write and somehow that's conveyed as my fingers type it away. As scary as it is learning about pregnancy and embryologic development and the multitude of things that can go wrong, how amazing is it that the vast majority of babies turn out just perfect?? I just read a quote, what if you woke up tomorrow morning and only had the things you thanked God for yesterday? Eek! When's the last time I said, thanks for the hair on my head or taste buds or fingernails? It's quite mind boggling to think that people do not believe in God. I took a whole course in college on Cell biology. A cell. The basic unit of life. And we are made of a mere 100 trillion of them. Crrrazy. Ok back to the learning!
