Hey there friends and random blog readers alike,
Aaron and I decided to get a blog finally, not necessarily because we think our day-to-day is that interesting, or that we have much to say, but more because our friends are spread throughout the world and we wanted to be able to share with people the kind of things we might share on a phone or skype date. And lets face it...peer pressure. Everyone else has a blog so, naturally, I wanted to get one too. :-P
Aaron suggested writing about what this season of life looks like for our first post. From now until the end of March, I'm traveling to Clinton, Greenwood, and/or Mauldin everyday for a clinical internship in physical therapy school. I'm in three different places because my clinical instructor (CI) works at the latter two when they need extra help. It's a lot of driving, and I feel, oftentimes, that I don't have a clue what I'm doing, so this has been a trying season thus far. However, I am encouraged by the fact that God is faithful and His Word says to:
"Count it as pure joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing...Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him."--James 1:2-4, 12.
I can count this trying time in my clinical as joy because I know God is growing me through it, not only as a physical therapist developing skills, but as a follower of Him. Also, God's timing is so perfect because we are studying James at church and Aaron and I have decided to try to memorize the book!
