Dear Blog Diary,
Today was an especially hard day at work and at school. Dealing with all this stress has been definately multifaceted and two-edged. 1) Understanding the perplexities of work and the infinite possibilities given to us in the medical profession. Stress incarnate.
2) Accepting and totally getting used to the beautiful struggles of life.
One thing, blog, that I have come to terms and acceptance throughout the duration of my medical studies is this:
1. YOU CAN'T LEARN EVERYTHING.
a) as much as I have put into the learning and understanding of the materials included: anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, medical legal ethics, human genetics, clonal morphism, pharmacology, pathology, pathoimmunology, micro-immunology, pathophysiology, Psychiatric Medical Science, Neurology, Clinical Neurosurgery, etc.----there can never be a way to know everything.
I accept that now. There are times when earning a 85% on an examination or even a 90%+ is acceptable. There is no way we can always achieve that 100%.
Perhaps in college--yes, but in medical school---where I am amongst very learned and accomplished colleagues, I must admit that I pale in comparison. Normal amongst these learned individuals.
b) GOD IS EVERYTHING.
b1) Studies and stress and the tests that have come to challenge my resolve and my understanding has ONLY strengthened my faith. To know that MY LORD JESUS CHRIST is above all things. The writer and creator of this study: MEDICINE.
He is the eternal physician. The healer of all things. Spiritual and bodily.
c) I AM NOTHING but DUST.
c1) I accept the fact that I am nothing; nothing before the site of MY GOD. I am and will always be dust. Dust like all of us. But am justified, tho I am dust and ash, by MY LORD JESUS CHRIST to do what must be done, to finish what must be finished, to study what must be studied, to heal what must be healed, to infer what must be inferred upon, to correct what must be corrected--in this life that HE has given me. To use the MIND AND BODY that HE has GIVEN me.
D) GLORIFY THE LORD GOD
and so I end this promt contemplation of these events in my life.
That so long as I have a breath in my body, so long as I am awakened every day by the rising of the sun and promted to sleep by the setting of the sun---I will give--and will always give GLORY and SHOUT OF THANKS to my LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Who is my COMPLETE and TOTAL justification in Life.
In pains, I give to Jesus.
In success, I thank Jesus,
In accomplishment, I sacrifice it all to Jesus.
In sadness, I seak HIS face
In testing times, I abide by HIS WORD
In times of greatness, I give everything, and all to JESUS.
I am nothing, but Dust.
But because my LORD loves me, I am a dust that recognizes my own sin and recognizes the POWER AND HONOR of my LORD JESUS CHRIST. GLORIFY HIM! LORD! AMEN be to YOUR GLORIOUS NAME!
A dust in CHRIST,
Bran Lorenzo
