Wow, I never know summer could be such a great time. Though I really have't gotten out much this summer, I have realized so many things. :) I have spent so much more time with God...and that has been the highlight of my summer really... that and the Philippines. I had such a great time there. I traveled to places that are so amazing, and had alone time just to dwell on how good God is. Also, I got to spend time with my family there, and realized that I really do miss them..and had a blast with them. They are such a great encouragement to me and in my life. I got to spend time with my god-sister...we had a blast, and it was really nice to actually spend time with someone that you never see... I felt so much at home there. I never wanted to leave. I guess God had a plan for me there. I was asking Him, why do I feel so at home here, and what is Your plan for me..I feel like you have something for me here. My mom said I guess as a joke that we should talk to my dad about moving here,and me going to college there. I was like can we really? And soon after that, I heard from one of my neices that they have a really good medical school over there... so I was like is this really happeneing? And doors opened soon after. My cousin said that they need some more doctor's there, because people study there, and go back to the U.S for money. My heart isn't for the money...it's to help people. Also there people are more considerate, and don't take advantage of things as much as people here do. I want to be able to help those who are really in need and just make them better. My heart is there in the PHilippines so I can help to reach out to them... Also, there my mom and dad can relax, and I can go to school and focus on school and not have to work until im done. I want the best for my mom and dad, and I want them to have a good retirement, and they said with me over there, they will be happy cause schooling there is so much better supposedly, and they know I will have a good college eduaction there. And I get to be with family that I never spend time with... I can also get help with med-school from my cousin who just officially became a Doctor the other day. She passed a Lisensure test that is a big thing, and I want to be the next one. I feel like there the dream that I have to become a doctor, and a missionary will come true...through God, and the support that I have there.
I can't wait till I go back. I am so excited, and I thank God everyday for that. For opening doors for me. It really is amazing to feel God and what He can do if you just believe in Him, and what He can do. He is amazing!
