“I am with you always…”

Matthew 28:20

In the past few weeks, I have done some serious soul-searching. I have wondered if the path I am on to being a Dentist is truly the path that was meant for me. I have talked to God, I have questioned God, and I have questioned myself. I have cried. I have yelled. I have tossed and turned at night. The hardest part of all of it is that prior to the last month or two, I have always been SO sure that this is the path I am supposed to take. Prayer and introspection has lead me to believe that it still is, but that I can't do it alone. I need love and support. I need to rely a little bit more on that love and support. I need balance, and more than just dentistry in my life. But above all, I need faith. Faith that no matter how hard it gets, this is where I am meant to be. And I have been seriously lacking in that faith.

Its amazing how some people can inspire you. My sister has a blog that inspires me every time I read it. My friends post things about people I don't even know that inspire me on a constant basis. Matthew and his constant patience, love, and understanding inspire me daily.

I have realized that more than anything, my faith pulls me through. Faith in God and his plan, Faith in my future, Faith in those around me. It is when I express this faith, and allow it to allow me to see daily small miracles, that I am most content. So take some time, see the miracles. (Even if the only miracle you can see is that you got through the day without your bridge falling apart on you in lab). Because life is so much brighter when faith illuminates it.
