The time to consider what ministry I should be serving in (or even how often and how much I should be serving) has come again. Which evidently sent my mind into a flurry of thoughts. Again. Since this space has been dead for a while, I should revive it and set my thoughts straight.

So, I haven't been here in ages. Medical school is like my wildest dream come true, but with it comes a stifling amount of work and things to do, and a great responsibility towards society. (I sound ridiculously posh-y and lofty but really, it is a huge privilege to be recruited into this line of work. Lives are at stake.) It's busy and the past ( Read more... )

Ever felt alone? Not being alone, everyone has been alone before - in the shower, on the bed, in your room. Ever FELT alone ( Read more... )

 i wrote you a letter. electronic and in spasms, spewing heartache and with tears splattering every line. it was brutally honest and you might have hated me for the terrible person i was after you read it. i thought i'd gather enough courage to write it out one day and send it to you but it's still a draft in my inbox. (and it may get trashed soon ( Read more... )

Something that's been nagging at me since yesterday's sermon.

Amidst all the crazy (and at times, unsuccessful) mugging, the mad race against time, and the stress and pressure that's gnawing at me, I've broken down more times than I'd like to admit. Yet, today I found myself quite at peace. Yknow how the song goes "count your blessings, name them one by one"? Guess I never really did that before. I doubt I'd ( Read more... )

Here is my current read during study breaks. Highly recommended if you're looking for something intellectually stimulating to jolt you out of your comfort zone.

Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, ( Read more... )

After many failed attempts at trying to read the bible once through with a few different reading plans, I decided to embark on my own plan i.e. read the bible from cover to cover and finish it at my own pace. Of course, along the way I got distracted and skipped days here and there. Also, I got extremely intimidated by Revelation, after finishing ( Read more... )

Am currently so full of emotions. Brimming. Last night and early this morning, my world was upside down. I think it righted itself again. Now, to stay sane and grounded, then to dive headfirst into revision and remain immersed in it. Prelims and A's aren't everything, studies aren't everything, but they're a necessary hurdle I'll have to overcome. ( Read more... )

Today, I spent about an hour in God's presence and it was lovely. I was comforted and refreshed ( Read more... )
