path

My trip to Montana was wonderful. I love being in the mountains. The traveling time gave me some time to think.

It seems that some people live in a certain path of life....some will live an "easy life" when it comes to money, some will always struggle. Some will always have to deal with dysfunctional family members, others have good family dynamics. Some will always have to deal with health problems....

Today is my first day in my obstetrics rotation. There was a a 25 week old baby that was delivered. It's going to be a uphill battle for this baby-not fully developed yet. Having a tube in his trachea to help him breath until he grows more. Health complications will add up. That's going to be his life for a long time.

What's my life path? Having a good job when i'm done with school. Having family and friends who love me. Ability to use my skills to help others. I am really blessed in that way. Yet I'm still having to deal with things that life brings me that is really hard to deal with-emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. There are certain things I feel I myself have to deal with in this lifetime. When life hands you a lemon...make some lemonade. Sometimes I don't want to make lemonade. My heart is a bit discouraged this last week. Relying on God. Holding on to Truth. That's what I need to remind myself.
