Ok - Here goes.....

Hey ya'll!
I can't believe I'm doing this. But, my best friend since 7th grade has forced me to do this :-) Shauna Bo-Bauna - you are my soulmate (Craig and Kip are a super close 2nd).


Ok - I started medical school at Ross University in Dominica. When people ask why Dominica - in all honesty - it's because it's where I was accepted. I took the MCAT and scored average. I had average grades in undergrad. I had average extra-curricular activities. But luckily for me - I have an ABOVE average God.


My journey to Dominica for school has not been an easy one. It has taught me humility, desperation to know Christ, tested my friendships, proven to me that Craig is first and fore-most the single most important person in my life, and most importantly proven to me that if it's God will for your life - He doesn't ask you if this is what you want to do - He commands you to do it. And, I thank God everyday for the journey, for the trials, for the tears and for teaching me that obedience in Him is freedom for me.


I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post but I'll try to post every couple of days. I have my first big test Feb. 18th. So, I'll use this as my way to get prayer requests world wide. If you are reading this blog - put me on your prayer list. Pray for me by name, that I pass my exams (A's would be nice :-) but passing is just fine), I find strength in each day, that God continues to change me to the person He wants me to become and that my fears and anxieties are turned into confidence .

Here's a pic from this semester. I went river tubing with some friends of mine on the Layou River. Tubing in Dominica is NOT like tubing on the Guadaloupe. If you've seen those adds for white water rafting - that's what its like - but I was in a tube!! I'll post more pics later.
Have to study ----again.
