Arthur's Court
In the wee hours of an early July (7/5/06) morning I considered once again the idea that I had been entertaining for nigh over a month. I knelt down to again dedicate myself to the service of my Father in Heaven. While I prayed I felt to make my decision to go to medical school official. I told my Father that I would be heading down a new road and that I knew without Him the road, while it may be helpful to others, would ultimately be fruitless to myself. I felt a sense of peace and in my mind seemed to form the thought “with God nothing is impossible”.
As the week progressed I felt positive in my new decision. I emailed UVSC’s student & career counselors and set up an appointment with the premed counselor for the upcoming Monday. By week’s end I felt the stark reality rest upon me once more that this journey would not be what it could be without my focus being firmly set on doing the will of my Father, on keeping Him first and foremost in my life. I again recommitted to reading from the good word of God. Turns out that I’m teaching the Old Testament in church, a nerve racking, but rewarding call.
Since that decision I’ve begun to pull my resources. I’m considering how much money I’ll need to attend school, where I’ll be employed, and if I’m going to keep my businesses and business interests. I’ve purchased some CDs about the MCAT, a book on med schools and had an offer from a friend to get the Kaplan books to prep for the MCAT.
This is my update.
