Abundantly More

It does not feel real yet. There are so many emotions, events, and checklists that are floating around in my mind, that it is hard to grasp a collection of coherent thoughts. Maybe I should start with the truths, and then build from those foundations of realizations.

The truths begin with a base realization: The Lord has been faithful. I know this because I have been accepted into the Saba University School of Medicine and will begin classes in May of 2014. That one statement holds an abundance of emotions that I will not elaborate on today. However, I can proclaim that as I say those words aloud, my inner woman is transformed into a little girl that is jumping up and down with squeals and giggles. She is clothed in joy, peace, love, and a princess gown that matches a jewel-studded crown and sparkly princess shoes. Oh, the delights of a joyous child: that is what I feel.

Another truth that I have been learning: The Lord will provide us with abundantly more than we could ever ask for (Ephesians 3:20). Not only will I be a medical student in a few weeks time, but I will be living in an Eden-like paradise surrounded by extreme forces of beautiful creation. Wow! I cannot begin to express the magnitude in which the Lord has chosen to enrich the life I thought I could plan for myself. As I sit here, my heart overflows with abounding love and humility to think that the Lord has considered ME worthy of this path. Oh how my plans are so inferior to the blessings that my Father wishes to pour over me.
