Where is my Desire?

So I'm at work reading the latest book my PI gave me, and I'm listening to music as a song I haven't heard in forever came on. It was Close by Jeremy Riddle. And at the end of his song he sings "I must see more of you".
And I got to thinking... When was the last time that I cried out with that kind of passion. I must say I thinks its been awhile. But that is not what I want from my self. The last thing I want is to be a sideline Christian. But at times I think thats where I'm headed. Where is the passion and fire that burn so furiously only a few short months ago. I still want more of God, but I feel like I'm burning with desire anymore.

So homework for MiniMug. Find out were that flame started flickering and rebuild the fire.

Food in the Desert

So exciting news... I'm all settled in to my summer program a priztker school of medicine. And wow, I could totally see myself here for the next nine years... I think I may be falling in love with a new school... (no offense UW@ Madison). Love my roommate. She is such a sweetheart. She is from Nigeria and quite beautiful inside and out! The other students in my program are great as well. It seems as though we will all be quite close by the end of the summer. It's a interesting feel to be on the complete opposite end of the higher education spectrum, Everyone here wants to be a doctor! And I must admit that for the first time I felt like I was on the right track.  Today we toured the campus and stopped by the Anatomy lab and took a quick look at parts of a cadaver. To be quite honest I didn't know how I would feel seeing a cadaver for the first time, but I only felt eagerness to get in my own anatomy class and learn more. I'm feeling more and more sure that M.D. P.h.D is the right thing for me.. That is EXCITING!! Yay!

So only down side of this summer is the lack of information. They neglected to tell us that we wouldn't have a meal plan when our dorms have no kitchen (except for a community kitchen for the entire building!) soooo they told us that we have to buy all of our own meals (eating out everyday) CRAZY! so I'm planing on buying a refrigerator and cooking in the community kitchen.. That should be quite an experience. But I am thankful for this wonderful oporttunity and I can't wait to see just wait God has in store for me here.

Look to the LORD and his strength;
       seek his face always. 
-Psalm 105:4
