Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

 

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸ Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

 

 

Feeling Blessed, Home in 15 Days!

Family

Happy Friday! Before the semester started I had to do a post on my family. Anyone that knows me knows how close my family is, we are extremely tight knit. I wouldn't trade that for the world. In a society, where it's hard to trust, it's comforting to know that there are people that always have your best interest in mind. I would not have made it this far without them. Recently, I've been missing my older brother but I was so happy to hear from him today on Skype! It made me realize how much they mean to me, my entire spirit was lifted for the rest of the day!

My sister, my mini me.....where do I begin?! We have always been close over the years, it was so tough saying goodbye 2 years ago when I had to leave for school. However, over the past 2 years apart our relationship has grown enormously. I had a very tough time my first semester and she was there to encourage and motivate me to keep going. She really is a phone call away and we can talk for hoursssss, lol! I don't know what I would do without her.

Have a lovely weekend!



 

Spring Break in Dominica

Thanking God for his favor. After spending 4 months in the library it feels so good to relax! A couple of friends and I went on the Indian River tour, it was one the locations used to film the movie Pirates of the Caribbean! Last night we went to Reggae night, it's always a good time. Today we went to Pauga Bay, it was so relaxful, the food was amazing, I had curry goat tacos. Tomorrow a group of us are going ziplining, it was so much fun when I went last year for my birthday!





 

 

 



Community Clinic Visit

Today's community clinic visit went well! I'm almost finished with my write-up, it has to be submitted by 8pm. After that I'll be studying cardio for the rest of the day! Have a productive week!

                             

Looking forward to waking up for morning devotion this month!! Be sure to download a copy, it starts today! 







Make My Heart Go Boom Boom

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

References for Romans 8:38

• Footnotes

• Š 8:38 - Or "nor heavenly rulers"

    neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

Happy Sunday!

Fourth semester is off to a good start so far. I was sick the first week of lecture but I feel much better now. Cardio is a very interesting subject; especially learning it from a pathological perspective. The only thing that I am finding somewhat tricky is abnormal ECG readings, I just really have to practice them this week. I was able to sing with RCF today, I was so happy to see familiar and new faces in the crowd! I'm thinking about joining Women's Bible Study on Wednesdays.



I came across a very interesting article stating that scented candles are dangerous to your health. That was pretty shocking, I love scented candles, I'll probably still purchase them regardless!

 

 

Have a wonderful week!!!



Back to Reality

Semester 4 begins tomorrow, I am super excited! The flight back went smooth. I have a nice to-do list of things to accomplish tonight to make sure I am all set for tomorrow morning. My first block is Cardio 2; it will emphasize the pathological issues of the heart and vascular system. It's definitely time to roll up my sleeves, I take Step 1 this year and I want to make sure I am fully prepared! 

Last Week of Winter Break

Happy Thursday! I only have 3 days left in the country before heading back to Dominica. I'm spending the last few days in Hampton with my older brother and sister. I have thoroughly enjoyed my break, I wish it was longer! 

Yesterday, my sister and I spent the day in my hometown, Mechanicsville. We could not leave without a quick stop to Cold Stone!

We visited our cousin in the area, I was so happy to see her. We played Just Dance on Nintendo Wii...talk about a serious workout! 

I also visited my best friend from high school, we had dinner at Sushi King, simply delicious!

Winter Break- Part III

The first day of the year my younger brother had a full day planned for us, it couldn't have been more perfect.

We visited the World Trade Center memorial, it was my first time seeing it in person. We then took a trip to the Guggenheim Museum. This is the most intricate museum I had ever visited, I was impressed with the various levels and the artwork was phenomenal.

He then surprised us with dinner at the Rockefeller Café! The food was delicious and I loved the fact that you could watch the various people ice skating outside.

I figured the day was coming to a close but he told us that he had gotten us tickets to a Broadway show. This was my first Broadway production and it was amazing, I hope to see another one in the near future.

We finished off the night by visiting Top of the Rock. It was freezing cold and windy when we stepped outside to view the entire city but the view was unforgettable. From the top of the Rockefeller building you can see the five boroughs and the top of the Empire State Building and World Trade Center, it was impressive.

My sister and I then headed back to Virginia and attended the first Sunday of the year together, the message was very motivating and thought-provoking.
