i borrowed this quote from one of my new favorite blogs: http://www.wonderfullymadeblog.org/ you should check it out.

“the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
–Frederick Buechner

what an incredible picture that is! at this point in my life, i like to think of “my place” as any and all of the physical therapy clinics i have had rotations at during my time in school. practicing physical therapy provides me with a deep gladness and i am thankful to the Lord for leading me to this field and helping get through school (i’m almost DONE!). and when i think of my patients (esp my current patients in my neuro rotation), i see many people with a deep hunger. most of my patients’ lives changed in an instant. one second they are going about a normal day with a “whole” body and the next second they’ve had a stroke or been in a horrific car accident and their bodies are no longer considered “whole”. i am easily overwhelmed when i see the hope that God provides these people through me. but i know that the healing that does occur in my patients’ lives can all be attributed to our loving Father. oh praise Him for He is worthy of our praise!
