Some things I have in mind...

Here are some topics I have in mind for upcoming posts.  I'm actually studying in the library right now and this is my break!  I was thinking about what kind of posts would be good, so hopefully this list will be a good idea of  things I have in mind for the blog!

• My testimony
• Why I chose to go to medical school / Why I want to become a doctor
• Church / Fellowship search (probably more relevant to people in NYC)
• How I balance school work with church, fellowship, devotional times, serving in the church

Why I decided to start this blog

I decided to blog about my medical education career in light of being a Christian. I’ve been asked numerous times by both guys and girls about whether or not it’s a good decision to go into medicine. Also, as a medical student now, I come across decisions every day that I need to either make now or think and pray about for the future. And with these decisions, I need to constantly make sure that I thinking clearly about them through the lens that is scripture.

With that, I hope that sharing some of my daily thoughts and experiences can be helpful to anyone who is either considering pursuing a medical career or is currently in school for a healthcare related career and is interested in my thoughts as a Christian medical student.

It is not only through my future career as a doctor that I must use for God’s glory, but also each and every day that I spend pursuing that career.

“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.’ Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.’” -James 4:13-15
